Problem I have with Veiga is, he is not worth 40 mill... we are somewhat blinded by his 'grinta' yes I get that it's lovely etc... but under a 3 man defence he has shown his defensive flaws and I hope we don't sign Veiga, the system also hinders his ability to use his passing range which is actually one of his main strengths and is more on show in a back 4 system. He is not anywhere near the 40 mill chelsea want for him.

Had we stuck with a back 4 system, I might be inclined to think otherwise as he looks far better in that system, but I still think he has some glaring flaws to his game.

Premier league valuation which equates to £35m, slightly steep but probably accurate in their market. Serie A valuation of him is about £20m, so far us buying anyone from that self entitled league comes at a high premium. We just need to stop buying players from there and italy and focus our efforts shopping in the farmer leagues.

:agree:

I thought his passing was surprisingly poor for someone who used to be a centre mid. I was expecting much better.

I've said it for a while now, we should buy from france. Fuck the Italian clubs that want to milk us for every euro, fuck the NT too, so long Gravina is in Power I hope they fail under his watch.
