Sky have announced Salisu but like Onebeat says, not official until it's on the OS £10m is a lot for someone who only has one season behind them. A year ago we were desperate for a CB but our first choice pair is fine now and I know Vestergaard has his critics but I think he's ok as backup and to sometimes come in when we want a more physical presence in there and don't expect to have to deal with quick counters. So I'm not sure we really need this guy, unless he turns out to be fantastic and we've spotted a bargain. I would have rather put the cash towards a Hojbjerg replacement, McKennie sounds promising and will probably cost around £20m, we'd probably need to sell before we afford him. I realise a lot of this post involves guesswork about player ability and our cashflow, but that's my initial thoughts. I guess it's a question of is the £11m a gamble we can afford? Jack and Jan are good solid PL CBs and I agree that Jannik is a decent option as a back up. But if we can improve on the back up CB and slowly integrate him into games and he has the potential to become one of the main men that's a good thing. If he can force his way past Jack and Jan it will mean we've done very well, if he's better than JV for the bench, also very good. Personally I think we need 4 CBs and if this means JV is pusher out to 4th choice I'm ok with that

The Salisu deal may have dawdled over the line from when it first started being mentioned because of a work permit. The other possibility is we have waited for the Championship Play Off Final and now know that Fulham will give us 10-15m for Reed and thus, we have the cash to do it. Hope it's the former.

I imagine it's more to do with self isolating coming from Spain. They will want to announce with a photo shoot and that can't happen in the first couple of weeks not him getting here

Seems Fulham now have competition. Palace now said to want Harry Reed.

Mirror is linking us to Harry Wilson. £20m from Liverpool via Derby and Bournemouth. He was great for Derby but less so with the struggling Cherries.
Leeds are the main competitor and Bielsa may interest him. Others mentioned are Newcastle and Palace but they seem to be linked with any mid-priced player so I don't take them seriously. Hope he is settled down South.

It's like WGS and Telfer, except Telfer and WGS were useful
