But why would he have signed a new contract with manure? Tevez even said Spain is a possible destination. I've watched enough of VDW to say that he isn't overhyped, he's a quality player.
Thing is as much as i'd love to have Tremoulinas or Cissokho here, they won't be easy to get. Tremoulinas will probably be sold during the summer window & there's tons of competition, Lyon would expect 20m for Cissokho. Who would you take if we couldn't get those two?
I rate Cissokho but he's probably the last LB we could be seeing here. Lyon's transfer policy is just something we can't look at.
There aren't many options out there when it comes to left backs. At the moment I can't think of any that's available and good.
