Vlad Chiriches - Completed

[$hoguN]

That would be the steal of the decade.

Bale at 10 million?

Bale at 10 million?

Wasn't it £5m?

If we can get this done, the spine of our squad (CB/CM) is absolutely rock solid.

Wasn't it £5m?

Maybe. I can't remember completely

We just need some more quality in attack now. Let's hope we can get that by hopefully signing Lamela and one more

Other than the obvious fact that Chiriches is a centre back, it's not a like for like swap from what I've seen and read about him. Almost certain that Chiriches isn't anything like as good as Caulker in the air. But equally almost certain that he's far more mobile, has far better positioning and reading of the game, and is far more comfortable with the ball at his feet than Caulker.

Like for like in terms of position, price and probably pecking order

Wasn't it £5m?

£5m up front and £5m followed I think

£5m up front and £5m followed I think

But then due to their financial troubles Southampton traded in the £5m possible future payments for £2.5m up front, and Tommy Forecast, a terrible goalkeeper.

Tottenham Hotspur have agreed terms with Steaua Bucharest to buy defender Vlad Chiriches, the Romanian side's coach, Laurentiu Reghecampf said on Sunday.
"The clubs have agreed on the transfer and I am happy for him," Reghecampf told a news confederence.
Steaua general manager Mihai Stoica said that the transfer fee had been set at 9.5 million euros (£8.2 million, $12.7 million), which would be a record for the 1986 European champions.
The 23-year-old Chiriches joined Steaua in January 2012. He has been capped 19 times for Romania.
Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas has already spent over 90 million euros in the transfer market ahead of the September 2 deadline, bringing in notably Brazilian Paulinho from Corinthians and Spanish striker Roberto Soldado from Valencia.
The London club is on the point of selling star player Gareth Bale to Real Madrid for what is expected to be a world record transfer fee of 99 million euros. AFP

Wow this appears in Yahoo... is it done?

Thought it wasn't about clauses, rather the sell-on percentage for Forecast and £1m? Though can't remember that clearly, so I might be wrong.

Reghecampf: "The 2 clubs have agreed to transfer him.I'm very happy for him. The owner says all there is left to do is sign some documents"

It's ok lads, the only thing left to do is the MOST IMPORTANT AND PIVOTAL part of the transfer.
