His buyout clause iirc. Very good CB imo.
Sky say his buyout is 50m euros which Madrid were happy to pay but city offering just less plus player on loan.

Who?
Oh fair enough. Never seen him play, that's a lot of money though![]()
Same, only heard of him earlier in summer when United were talking about buying him

He's no Sakho or Lovren, but I suppose you get what you pay for![]()
I guess it's a tempter to get him not to sign a new contract at United. Freebies always get good signing on fee like we gave Milner

Lot of money for a "tempter", they didn't pay that for their new No1 (Navas) or Cassilas replacement![]()
Trying to recall any other CB's that have moved from La liga to prem and how they've done.
Only one can think of is Gabriel that's gone to arsenal and barely played.
Because they aren't really their number ones because they want de gea

Stones looks quality but if we're seriously considering forking out £35m on a CB, I would prefer they spent it on an expwrienced leader in Otamendi.

There was a fellow who moved to United who didn't turn out too bad, plays for some team called Barcelona now![]()
Ahh, so they wasted money on Navas and Cassila and got rid of Cassilas so they could wait a year to give de Gea a £12m tempter.
Got it![]()
That performed in the prem I meant.
Many attackers say that prem defenders are more physical where as Spanish league defenders are technically better. That's why curious if there are any that have crossed over and been successful.

Good point I cant think of any. Salgado is the only one that comes to mind but his best years were well and truly behind him.
To be honest Bisc, I can't think of any that have played regularly![]()
Demichelles is only one can think of although he played in Germany a lot which is similar.
Think the type of defending in the Spanish and Englishwaguea are very different so would be a big gamble to spend that kind of money on someone.
Surprised nether of you city of Chelsea have gone in for hunmells
We did, the blunt answer was no.
When we get Klopp, Hummels and Reus on the waySurprised nether of you city of Chelsea have gone in for hunmells
