I agree with that, he's shown he can play in there.

Trouble for me is, I'm a firm believer of if a player is playing well, leave them be. What sways me is we lack system flexibility ATM, we can't play a back four because we don't have two CBs capable of playing well together. I don't think Can would work there, Skrtel needs to go, Toure is away and the less said about Lovren the better. That just leaves Sakho.

I agree, we need a center back in the Summer an old head and a good communicator.
 
Am I right in thinking its a raising figure? None of those links mention it :huh:

They do say initial (as I wrote), which indicates that it could rise, but I didn't see any detail on the potential final figure. The Sky Sports article at the time (which I didn't post) just said undisclosed fee.

Whatever the figures quoted are, I'd always go with the top figure myself. The additions are usually things that indicate a successful transfer, why would you want the player to fail...?

Not sure but a lot want to see Balotelli fail <whistle>

I went with the top (only) quoted figure. I would say that you need to give all information to be truly accurate. At the end of the day, the transfer fee is only really an issue if the player is a failure, in which case the additions are less likely to be relevant. If they're a success, you don't really care as much about the fee.

True <ok>
