This doesn't mean Chamberlain is leaving at all - clearly we haven't just rushed this deal through from start to finish in 24 hours
Wow, he looks class!! I am going to have a little research to see which european clubs wanted him. I think he could well be the 'striker/winger' we wanted after the Sharp deal went off. Very promising player and when they say signifcant price, do you think they're talking about taking our record transfer off Delap or just more priced than Lambert/Fonte??
I dont think the fee touted about will be anywhere near delap, I would doubt it if it was more than 1 million! Remember the guy doesnt have British tax to pay on him lol!
My attempt at a chant: His name's de Ridder! He's flying down the wing! His name's de Ridder! He makes the Northam sing! His name's de Ridder! We wish we were fast too!
I definately think that these days, it's a lot better to do transfer dealings with non-English clubs. The fees over here are completely and utterly inflated. I don't think that's quite the case abroad.
I really like the look of this guy. Comes across as a 100% kind of guy. Can already see him tearing Pompey's 'defence' apart
Agreed Arsenal want 40 million for Fabregas and Barca have just signed that Sanchez kid for 32 million euros ( 26 million). If this guy was from england we probably would be lookin around 2.5 million for him i'd say.
A bit of work for you Beddy! A pity so many imediately start with the negative threads about Oxo leaving, instead of welcoming the new bloke.
Funny how good news can attract 25 posters browsing in a few minutes after the news broke, who says good news travels fast?
