Espanyol will be looking at that and thinking that Pau is worth a little more than what Levy is offering.
No English premium though.
We've also probably still got the £6m option until the window opens (1 July)

Apparently it's not even a direct 30m fee - it's 20m, with 5m in bonuses and 5m owed by Sunderland for Gibson and Oviedo written off (GOT).
It's a very good deal, imo.
A position they really need to strengthen too. Way the market is currently going here could be worth a lot more in 5 years.
Which is not dissimilar to the deal we did with toon on the money they owed us for Townsend and Yedlin... we could sell sissoko now and actually be up on the deal as the money they owed us was about £16m
For Townsend and Yedlin? Cripes. Although if we'd waited a year or two, they'd probably go for 50m each, the way this market is going.
Why would they want a CB that can actually play football, when all they do is hoof it up field?
Not that bothered to be honest, never been impressed by him when i have seen him.
Eric Dier hasnt been all that for England at all.....English CBs are all very weak and wobbly at the moment. Cahill, Stones, Smalling, Jones, Maguire and Keane are all mediocre. Even in the U20s WC winning team, the CBs were the standout weak points.
It's quite a reversal really. England always used to produce good GKs, defenders and DMs, but poor creative players. Now we've got much better technical players, but lack basic defensive abilities. England really needs 3 more Eric Diers.

Surprised he hasnt waited for longer to see if other clubs come in
Im not having that excuse for things like he did last night. In internationals you always find yourselves with different players, having Ox Chamberlain as his CM partner doesnt give him the excuse to keep giving the ball away - this is international standard football.....started off really well but had a different partner every game since
Usually around this time of year people claiming to be ITK say that Levy is on holiday in the Bahamas with Joe until 6th July and Poch is on hols until 7th and the other involved parties will start making deals on X date... do we genuinely know if we are talking / doing deals right now? Is Levy in Porto eating sushi outside the ground etc?

Yea last nights game and the one at the weekend were a joke, let's not slag players off based on FIFA's scheduling incompetence.Thats not an excuse of last night. Last night he was battling Ox of the worst player award
But Dier has shown he is significantly bette than that
Last night gem imo was actually stupid considering players have already been on end of season tours an holidays. very strange timing and IMO it showed
