A & C come on now you're obviously a sensible chap, is there even the slightest part of you tat could see us even considering paying £17 million this window for Vadillo?
Yes, there's a small irregularly shaped patch, roughly three inches from my bumhole that thinks that. The rest of me thinks that we won't pay that much but its just a link and we haven't coughed up anything yet. We might get him for a fair bit less if they take his bad injury into consideration and Levy does some snakey flim-flam jiggery pokery.

More than we paid for Modric on a kid who has played a handful of times for Betis? He's already had a cruciate ligament injury too. It's been a crazy transfer window but this would be unhinged!

I don't know anything about the fella. But if Baldini and AVB (who are in far better position than for me to judge) are cool with it, then go for it.

I trust them.

It's ITK info. No evidence that AVB or Baldini are interested. In fact the ITK info didn't even mention this kid's name. I'm just saying I doubt we'd pay 17+m. Just my opinion.

I'll put my personal opinion in and say that there's absolutely no chance that we are considering paying £17 million for Vadillo, no chance what so ever.

If we pay anywhere near that figure for Vadillo this window I'll eat a Hedgehog!

Eating food with its own toothpick............priceless

I think we could really do with some itk on lamela today..getting a bit worried
After what happened with Willian I would rather we not hear about Lamela until it is offically done. The more it's made public the more I worry now.

I'm sure Levy will be in turbo mode now and doing everything he possibly can to not let that happen again (EVER again).

Vadillo looks very agile and skillful, but very raw. He won't jump ahead of Chadli, Townsend or Lennon for our first team YET imho, which is what I'm most worried about now. I'm encouraged that we're looking at him though.

He wouldn't be brought in to jump ahead of any at 18?

Why can't people get their hands around the fact that a big transfer fee doesn't have to mean a player will challenge immediately for first team football?

We are clearly addressing BOTH our short and long term problems.

I'm assuming Vadillo is the alternative to Halilovic? Never heard of him before but hadn't heard of Halilovic before we were linked either. It's always nice to sign such young potential talent though. It would be interesting to see if we keep him for our U21s or loan him back to Betis.

This kid is exactly the kind of signing that not so long ago people were moaning that we didn't make. Now that we're 'linked' with making one, people are still moaning. It's almost enough to make me rip off my nightie, get dressed and take the dog for a walk. And if my nightie wasn't made of the finest lace, spun from the pubes of the rare lesser spotted yak, I would do exactly that.
Not at £17m though
