40m?

He's had one season <doh>

We just got mugged off, Saints with a 35m profit
Chelsea get a fair wedge of that due to sell on clause. Partly why Saints held out on price as they don't get the full amount quoted. Sounds like it's closer ro £35m - and the £40m is including various add ons over time.

But yeah, I definitely get what you mean, it's a lot for a young player with 1 full season and an injury record, regardless of his future potential. Bit of a gamble. Just hoping he's fully recovered from injury and no repurcussions.

Bought him from Chelsea for £5m 2 years ago.

Still he may turn out to be great, I can't see this being as bad as when Rangers got Boumsong on a free then we paid £8m for him 4 months later <laugh>

Bobby Robson had actually been to see him play that summer just before he signed for Rangers, and concluded (rightly) that he was nowhere near Premier standard.

Souness of course had other ideas, and in January went about re-shaping our squad with Boumsong, Babayaro and Amdy Faye <doh>

Never trust the Scots to make good judgement, no sense, eh ScotMag?

Does this lad even play in a position we need?
