JJ has already poo poo'd the Griezmann link once.
Dier is no-where near ready for our first team though. He is only just breaking through at Sporting (3rd choice currently).I think it could be Dier, personally. Just because JJ seemed to mention Lascelles wasn't going to happen. Dier would fit what we need (right on the cusp of being a potential starter, imposing CB, right age and shouldn't be too expensive) really well in my opinion.
I agree that there's a (slim) possibility that JJ is being coy or for some reason is not clued into this deal but I'm not getting my hopes up. As for Capoue I distinctly remember debating his purchase with friends before he signed, whether that info came from ITK or the media I'm not sure.Doesn't mean no chance. Not a chance by now the club hasn't figured out who the more looked-to ITKers get their info from, so they may keep things very close to the chest in regard to any given player. Also worth noting we bought Capoue last year without any heads up we were even looking for a CDM. I may be wrong, but the first I heard of it was Toulouse's president saying in an interview Cap was already on a plane to London.
