Keita Balde - fee agreed?
Fee agreed with Lazio according to a fairly reputable source, up to the player now. Inter very interested but our bid is way ahead of theirs.

#Lazio: @WestHamUtd plunges on #KeitaBalde with 32M offer but will be the striker to decide whether to accept.

Re: Keita Balde - fee agreed?
Will tell...where do you hear Bilic wanting to play 3cbs?

Zabaleta is no wing back and signing him suggests a return to 4 at the back.

If not, and on the money we're paying him, can see Zaba as the right sides CB in a 3 like Azpilecueta was for Chelsea last year.

4 Dutch caps?? Quite possibly the only European nation punching further below their weight than England.

I think it's fair to sy that most top/Premier League footballers are Moody, mardy, big-headed/arrogant or just plain radio rental...


... or any combination!

Used or pushing our luck? You don't ask you don't get, maybe one of these talents one day will amazingly not demand to join an established CL team, he'll be a nut job, but OUR nut job.

Re: Keita Balde - fee agreed?
Actually I don't think we do have enough CB's Eddie. Bilic wants to play 3 CBs I hear and we have 4. We need one more. Oxford is out on a season long loan and is Burke ready yet? I don't know?

Hoedt was 23 in March and already has 4 Dutch caps and played 46 first team games for Lazio. I've never seen him play but to have 4 Dutch caps (hmmm!) already he must be good and if we get him for €12m or less....

One position we do NOT need to bring anyone in on is CB. We already have three young CB's champing at the bit to get in the squad.

Everton already agreed a £26m offer apparently, but he turned them down.

We'd be playing with fire (after Payet) if we took Balde on that basis.

No thanks.

Re: Keita Balde - fee agreed?
"they want him to join us but he doens't want to"

sounds like last summer all over again!

i guess if we get Arnautovic/Hernandez wrapped up then we are in a position to wait and not get too panicked.

Willtell 6:20 Wed Jul 19
Re: Keita Balde - fee agreed?
I've just read Gazza Net where it says that Balde only wants to go to Juventus and he and his agent have rejected WH because we aren't in CL. But it seems we are interested in a young Dutch CB called Wesley Hoedt for €12m...

Eggbert Nobacon 6:08 Wed Jul 19
Re: Keita Balde - fee agreed?
goose

this says that they want him to join us but he doens't want to

in which case we should fuck him off

The Inter connection makes sense. A replacement for Perisic.

But would Lazio prefer him to go to Inter, a direct rival, or West Ham, who are obviously not a direct rival.

goose 6:03 Wed Jul 19
Re: Keita Balde - fee agreed?
interesting stance from Lazio - they have said that THEY will determine where he goes.

good luck with that.

Re: Keita Balde - fee agreed?
left out of lazio squad for a friendly today

has tweeted that he wanted to play


still won';t happen

goose 5:39 Wed Jul 19
Re: Keita Balde - fee agreed?
reading between the lines he's off to Inter as soon as the Perisic deal is sorted.

still think we are one short.

Add Arnautovic to that list.
