Daily mail:- Palace return after 16m bid rebuffed. If he suits our physiology then just pay the 20m. In this crazy market Delph going to stoke for 15m. Chambers is only 22. Edited by Dan89 (20 Jul 2017 11.35am)

A lot of thought 27m for Benteke last summer was extreme but unfortunately that the way the market heading. If you stand still, you get left behind. Surely they must made 4m on that sleeve sponsor.

Edited by Dan89 (20 Jul 2017 11.35am) Looks like negotiations are getting serious. Looks more suited to the CB position than right wing back? Maybe (hopefully) we are also going for van der Wiel?

Agree Peter, definitely need a specialist in that position. We also need better quality in cb areas. Chambers, dann, Tomkins, and 2 Lcbs (martins indi & Riedewald) and Kelly that would 6 cbs competing for 3 positions if de Boer sticks with 3-4-3 or 3-5-2

I think he's mainly played right back at Southampton, I'm sure he kept Clyne out of the side? Wenger has converted him to a cb. He's brilliant on the ball. Could be a great signing. Be good to get some young blood in defence.

Be good to get some young blood in defence. Indeed. I think he's also seen as a possible cdm. Not saying we need strengthening there since Luka has come in, but it certainly suggests he's got many strings to his bow

Question is if we go back with a £20m offer at which point would we rather deal with Liverpool and try for Sakho at say £25? I guess it's not so much the extra for Calum but over overal budget being used to try to fill all the gaps. Calum and say Burno might cost us 20 + 8 I'd actually wouldn't mind either the pair or Sakho on his own. But I'd imagine having the two would be better should injuries hit. Can only imagine Parish has got a head ache trying to get these all over the line within what ever his budget is.

OK I have a lot of contacts at boro as I literally work oppsite the Riverside. Boro fans feel Chambers was a definate level higher in class than what they had last season. Most believe is is much better at CB than RB more natural at CB where he is very good but only Premier league 'average' at RB. Interestingly most rate Chambers as being the main reason for theur defensive solidity under Karanka and not the well established fans and local boy Ben Gibson. to quote one contact 'you could see Gibson had to try much harder than Chambers to be that good'. Hope this helps

The big positive on Chamber's side is his age - he'll have a resale value in the future (or we'd have a long term player) compared with Sakho. It's also likely that wages will have an impact too even if only due to FFP. Imagine if FdB could get the best out of him making him a regular England CB - at 25 or 26 years old he'd be worth a fortune in today's stupid market.
