Good afternoon.
€75,000 a week is the salary being touted by Dutch journalist Jan van Eyck . Personal terms are not the issue. But the stumbling block appears to be the fee. The gap between the alleged asking price and the alleged offer seems big, if not insurmountable.
Ajax are said to want €16.3M for Jan Vertonghen and Spurs are supposedly offering €10.1M.
For the Eredivisie player of the 2011/12 season it seems to be small change and we need to get this done before the whole thing goes sour and we’re left clutching straws.
Vertonghen’s stock is well valued or so it seems …with Bruins Slot (a scout at Ajax, ex-assistant at Barcelona, “Vertonghen is a left-footed Koeman. Don’t understand why Barça don’t push for him.”
If anyone thinks this is going to be done before the winner of the Champions League is announced I think they are being incredibly optimistic. This guy is the real deal and will not come cheap.
If we do get Champions League – Ajax will probably put the price up!
Looking at the stats, this guy has netted 18 times in the last 2 seasons from centre back!
vertonghen deal has to come through, seems to me he’s a real leader.
King when he plays gives such a calming effect on the team, same goes for Friedel.
King we cannot “trust” next season and we really need this new CN signing.
Parker has given us a midfield punch, especially first half of season and Sandro realy bridged the gap when Scott has been injured. No big need for new signings as a whole in the midfield.
… up front… well, lets hope we can get one or two of all the names mentioned… :-)
Harry, ohh how i havent missed your timley updates on useless information that you have pulled out of your mothers arse :-)
i think alot of our defensive options depend on mr Gallas and where his wishes lie.
