Yes and probably reported by those two weird clowns who claim to have insider knowledge when in fact they know nothing. I suppose we will have to put up with them all summer.

Yeah, he used the money from the Platt sale to re-build. Although he most definitely didn’t replace Lord McGrath at CB.

He's on a free which is usually accompanied with higher wages and probably in demand so if we do sign him then £120k probably won't be too far off.Was the first part of that quote Skys sources

Yes I fully agree with that and he'll also get a few £million signing on bonus. It's more the fact that these slimy fools pretend to know everything, when in reality they know FA. Over the next few weeks they will run stories that several other clubs have also offered Tarkowski similar amounts, then when he inevitably signs for one of them will claim to have been first with the news. Its a common trend with them

Sorry, I just assume sometimes we're all seeing the same stories and tweets so I forgot to link it. Anyway, we all know how this works by now, 99% should be taken with a pinch of salt, the other 1% is Fabrizio Romano.

I am now official
Wasn't it either Monday or yesterday that it was reported Everton had done the same. Is it just a case of 'cut' Everton, 'paste' Aston Villa - post it I wonder?

Probably, they all just go on the likelihood of where players will end up don't they. Tarkowski = Villa, Everton, Newcastle etc.

If we get Tarkowski then it will be good business. I've only seen him a handful of times but he always look solid defensively and in particular is very good in the air, which is a massive weakness of ours. He never stood out as being bad on the ball either.
The reality is that he is in all likelihood an improvement on what we have.

Closing in on Shirley according to this, Rangers fans think he's worth a lot of money.
I don't know, Rangers and SG and all that, and Scottish Prem etc. but that is where Van Djik came from so who knows.

That suits me even more. It means Mings can fight for his place like everybody else.

Did he replace big Kent and Mountfield? who seemed ok to most of us?

Calvin would certainly add some physicality we lack.

Lets be Honest Burnley don't play fanny ball do they so who knows if he can play out but we can't play out anyway we just fuck about at the back then launch it

He was considered good on the ball at Brentford so probably not that bad.

Well we went from playing 3 CB's to a flat back 4 so one is naturally going to drop out. McGrath was there throughout. I could be wrong but don't think Ugo became a regular until Brian Little took over.

Now this is someone who I would see as being a step up from what we currently have. An absolute unit at the back who looks decent on the ball - already got a few Brazilian lads in the squad as well to keep him company.
