We should have got Caulker back I think. Better player option that all but Vertonghen right now.

I hope they do.
Player power is out of control. The guy is acting like a spoilt twat.
Not to mention the fact that we should not be spunking 27M on a CM.
Wow that was deep man.
The 27m fee for Schneiderlin is absurd to keep talking about. As far as I can remember it was only mentioned once by a less than reliable source (one of the papers can't remember which) and people have really run with it. Everyone who has followed the club obviously knows that Levy won't pay that or anywhere close, so I don't see why it keeps being brought up. If we were to buy Schneiderlin I can't see the fee being higher than 20m.
Anywhere near 20M for a CM when we have Sandro, Capoue, Dembele, Bentaleb, Paulinho, Holtby, Eriksen, Caroll, Lamela and even Chadli who can play there, is whats absurd here.
Most of those players are still waiting to be utilised by a competent manager here, in a system that suits them.
I said it before, but if Poch can only make it work with Schniederlin, and all that talent we have has to fall by the wayside so we can spunk in the region of 20M for another CM, well quite frankly thats very worrying.
A decent manager should be able to work wonders with our midfield. If he cant make it work without MS, he cant be a very good manager, end of.

That's nice, but I always preferred the saying "wish in one hand, crap in the other, and see which one fills first."
Wouldn't Toby Alderweireld solve a lot of problems for8-10M?
I will solve all your problems for 10mil
There was some ITK awhile back that said we were looking at a Belgian CB in our search, as well as a Colombian one. Take it as you will.
Oh, I will...
Why are Atletico wanting to get rid after a year? (Assuming they actually are)
Everyone else has gone!
He's probably not owned by them, thus highest bidder takes him no doubt
I don't know why they would cash in after only one year, but at half the price of Mussachio it would be a great fit.

What's worrying is tying for worst in the league in through-balls and providing an embarrassingly low number of forward passes per game (top average is 28 for Bentaleb, all others 24 and below).
I don't think it's a matter of Poch absolutely "requiring" this specific player to succeed, but rather addressing a problem and choosing a player he knows well to do this.
As opposed to coaching the 10 very good to excellent CMs we already have here..?
Says a lot IMO
Right now, that money would be better spent on a striker.
