Originally posted by braunstoneagle i suppose because thats the current market, bournmouth spent £14m on a young CB from brizzle city, villa payed £20m for tyrone mings ffs. considering the potential future returns seems like a smart idea to try and get him. My understanding is that Bournemouth paid £13 Mill for left-back Kelly who has very similar experience as James, both only playing their senior football in the Championship.I think if they paid £20 Mill for him I probably would have concluded that it was a bit exorbitant. As for Mings he is a left-sided centre-half who arrived on loan at A.Villa in January when the club were just over halfway in the table and he played a significant part as they reached the play-off spots and went on to gain promotion.

No way will that happen. Chelsea have a transfer embargo and James has just had surgery, he could be out until November

I was touting both Reece James and Timori (both Chelsea) lads on here a few months back as the type of players we should be going for. Both are class and would be welcome additions. Should be used as part of a deal with Wilf if Chelsea come sniffing. The Voice of Reason In An Otherwise Mediocre World
