Jan Vertonghen
He has signed for Spuds?
A quick google search later reveals it isn't quite done, but looks very likely to happen.
Could turn out a good signing for Spuds. I have decided though that I won't regret us not being in for him even if he turns into a world beater. I think CB is the position where we are the strongest in our squad.

Some rumours going around that with Harry leaving has put his move in jeopardy. If Milan are going to flog Silva would be interesting to see if they might make a move but looks unlikely.
