Milan in £10m bid for Krul

This story seems to have broken properly and the figure of £10m is, quite frankly a joke.
If De Gea went for a lot more than that then surely Tim should be £15m+.

If this is true... are there any players for Milan who we would want thrown into the deal?

AC Milan have launched a £10million bid to sign Newcastle goalkeeper Tim Krul.

The Dutchman, 24, is valued closer to £20m by his club, who will be reluctant to sell having let Demba Ba go to Chelsea and with talks planned today with wantaway captain Fabricio Coloccini.

Young England keeper Jack Butland is a potential replacement if the deal develops, with his club Birmingham City desperate to sell to raise funds.

 

This story seems to be popping up everywhere.

Remember when I said what I said ? we are going to lose 3 or 4 this window and gamble of replacements !!! it could be disasterous or a huge success but we'll know soon enough. The squad will be no better and we won't make a net spend I assure you.

 

we coul sell KRUL & SANTON FOR 30milion butt still are we going to benefit from that money ,are we going to use that money to buy something, O I don't know what to think and I don't know if Pardew gott any plans or working with a plan,it's hard to read and read again some of our's players givin interwies withoout thinking what fans may think over them in this period of time.

 

Relax. AC Milan are skint. They have no money to pull one and especially two deals like this off. This rumour is a definite non starter imo.

 

If half of these rumours are true we'll end up selling the ground because we'll have no team to play on it.

 

Is this, so you can say "I told you so" whatever happens ???

I thought it's called covering your arse, mate

 

Disastrous or a huge success. It would appear so.

 

that's spooky... I've just finished a thread on this very topic.... although I think it could be a good thing to sell one or two at vastly inflated prices... as long as it's reinvested.

 

Mr T's hoop will be splintered to hell as his mouses brain hasn't been fed enough porridge today clearly.

 

AC Milan, with no cash, have somehow found the £20m+ to buy Krul and pay his wages, with extra in reserve (at least double) to get Santon?

This is a Mail/Mirror story purely designed to try and kick the Geordie when they're feeling down. Ignore it. The source is Berlusconi saying he likes Santon.

 

I think Man Utd massively overspent on De Gea, which is fine because they're Man Utd and usually massively overspend on players...

Bebe £7 million
Van Persie £25 million when he had months left on his contract
Berbatov £30 million
etc etc

They probably extract more from advertising and moving up 1 position in the league, so they can factor that into their deals.

£10 million for Krul is probably about fair in my estimation, but I could absolutely believe it if Ashley held out for £20 million!

 

Surely you guys have learned by now that anything in the tabloids is 90% likely to be complete b*ll*cks. It is strange we are enquiring about Butland though.

 

Well there might be some truth behind this story, Abbiati is 35 years old now and needs replacement very soon.
They are currently 7th in the league and had 27 goals against after 20 games. AC Milan has been scouring the Italian competition for a new goalie for some time now. Approached AS Roma a while ago for Stekelenburg but that deal went sour. It's still unlikely, but it's plausible.

 

A broke team in a corrupt, racist, league want Krul. Im sure he would jump at the chance.

 

I'd hate to see Krul go, but to let him go for £10m we'd have to be barking mad.

 

Isn't it Muesli he eats?

 

20 million for krul are you joking!! and people honestly think santon is worth 10 million haha.. Krul is not the player he was last season.. but you never know it is crazy season.. Looking at the papers it looks as though every french striker you are linked with is worth 8.5million all just bull.. know one really has an idea what people are worth they just pick numbers out of the sky

 

I lose track .

 

Are you saying he's an imposter implanted in our midst to betray the club he once loved?

He's had a couple of bad games, but he's still the same player, who can make outstanding saves... And let's face it, he's got to be the best cross catcher in the premier league by a mile. If he improves his kicking and positioning further, he wouldn't be too far off the best keeper in the world in my opinion.
