15M?? Lol... We paid even more when he wasn't half as good as he is now. If Ass-enal wants him, they will have to scratch their pocket! Or exchange it for Cesc...

Please be true! This would be a super buy! He is tall strong and now experienced at the highest level!He can play DM or CB which are our weaknesses...he would be ideal especially if the CB we are buying is the quite short Belgian....having missed out on Barry we must not miss this chance!
