He needs to be leaning before it's considered official.

City are making a mistake if they do sell Nastasic to be honest. Juventus linked I think.

Yeah, Nastasic linked to Juve on a loan with obligation to buy. Really hope we don't get rid of him, at least not until Rekik has proved himself to the same degree as he has. Issue is he doesn't suit a high line really

Liverpool should be put under some sort of transfer embargo until they stop doing that.

He could be a good signing, can play CB and LB. But it depends how much we spend on him and if he can stay fit.

He's not a very good defender. Other than that, he's quite good.

Aly Cissokho rumoured to be joining Villa as well. Feel sorry for them, he's shite.

Can't they ever just sign a great CB? How much did they sign Chygrinsky for?

The culture at Barcelona makes them look for different qualities in their defenders than most other clubs do, they place a much higher emphasis on ball skills, even if it means signing someone who's weaker at traditional defensive attributes. Same thing with their goalkeepers.

Pretty sure Chygrinsky was at least £20m and only stayed for one season iirc

I'm aware of the concept, it's just Vermaelen and Mathieu - screams getting turned over 4-0 in the semi's of the CL though.

£15.8m. He's not been that bad, he's just not been that good either. He's competent, nothing more nothing less.

He was awesome last season when he played in midfield, he's just absolutely diabolical as a centre back which is fair enough

He was good at the end of the season but he wasn't even that bad at centre-back, at the time the entire defence was a mess. His problem is more to do with his lack of pace rather than being played out of position. He was great at Hull when he covered in defence.

I'm still in disbelief how we're getting 15m for Vermaelen.

Fraser Forster set to join Southampton for £10M apparently.
