He''s good, but I''m not sure hes THAT good.

[Stowmarket Canary (not Delia) 0]

Maybe half!

[Phillip J Fry 0]

If true, he''s worth every penny.

[TRAVIS ASKEW 0]

Maybe half!

Dont think he would be such a good player in half!!

[RonnieCorbet 0]

Levy always overpricing his players. Even if they have been at the club for 3 years and have made 1 appearance :D. £6m is too high for Naughton. £4 million max.

[Zak Van Burger 0]

£4m plus up to £2m in addons including international callup(s) would be good business if the wages can be agreed. LOL at the big club failing to back Lambert already......

The mirror is arguably more incorrect than the sun - remember this is the rag that told us that we we going to lose Ruddy to Villa, and that we were poised to sign Titus Bramble and Steven Fletcher for our second season.

As for Naughton  well £6 million is a lot but Premiership class players do not usually go much cheaper than that , Gunther from  Forest would probably be around £2 million and you would be guessing at whether he will cut it or not , you get what you pay for basically .

We''re going to sign him and Newcastle are paying half.

[smooth 114]

6 million well if it is was 4 million there would be a scramble, he can fit straight in and answer your needs at full back (on either side).HAve to say over a three year contract 6 million would be a good investment, he is so young that he wuld develop as we have all said and I still think he would be worth more in a season or two. He has raw potential.How the hell he wasn''t in our top 3 players last season is a travesty.

A while ago I am sure many were suggesting a 5 million price tag, and to be honest to up it by 1 more I think is worth it. As many have said he was not only good player last season but will get better. I think he could be as good as cole has been, with great overlapping runs down the wings.

really? they guessed something that 99% of people could figure out themselves?

you can give a monkey 50 items to choose from, but if one of them is a huge shiny thing that makes a noise and has a stack of bananas, odds are, you can guess correctly the monkey will go to it.

[Redders Right Foot 22]

and in response to the OP... He is probably worth 6m. he is outstanding, and he was playing for a club he was just on loan to, not to mention he is young and a bit inexperienced.

if Rhodes is valued at 4-8m, a long with other L1 and champ players, 6 for one of the best young defenders in the game is well worth it.

Totaly agree, when it was rumour''d we had offered £5million I thought it was about right for him, But who knows with Chris''s Spurs Contacts we could be in with a very good chance of doing a deal, so pleased Villa are out of it.

It would be worth us paying £6 million for him just to piss off  Lambert and Villa and show him what a mistake he has made.

[spencer 1970 207]

snap him up! £6m is a touch...he''s far better at RB than N.Cafu and on Tierney in the first few games was actually better than him at LB.

£6m is a no-brainer...I think the debate is could we afford his wages?

[spencer 1970 207]

*only

[step 0]

I would... If we are going to fight the big boys in PL we cant go to far wrong with a proven player in our colours can we.

KN covered both fullback positions with ease, in fact anywhere across back four. No Adam this year so be perfect cover for Mad Marc ( still all very quiet on him !)

With our luck with CB''s having RM and KN as cover if needed leaves us in a strong position.

[Indy_Bones 441]

6m upfront is too much based on one good season at this level.4m with add-ons sounds about right (which could take it up to 6m+ anyway), and we''d be paying a fair price for his ability now, with additional costs if he continues to perform and develop.

[City penguin 0]

just cos levy wants £6m doesn''t mean we will have to pay that. Would be able to knock him down a bit. Definatly worth it imo, pure class on the ball, pace, very good defensively reads the game well can play LB or RB, possible England candidate for the future. One terrific season at this level in his first premiership campaign makes him worth every penny.

[SnakepitCanary 0]

I''d say £4 million up front with add ons is worth it. I''d love to beat Villa to his signiture.

[Ozbarclay 0]

Relative to other prices maybe 4m - 4.5m up front.  It will be interesting to see what happens to transfer prices this season.Maybe Lambert could buy him from Villa''s massive resources and donate him to us as a parting gift.... yeah  starting to feel bitter now... if he left us for a supermodel I could get over it... but not for some skank up the road

Spurs looking to make a good profit on someone they have played once in 3 years... When would this happen at another club? He''s not 19/20/21, he''s 24 this year year, so not exactly the young player people have been going on about. If Spurs think he is a good enough "young" player, surely they''ll keep him.

You can see Arsenal doing the same with Lansbury, another player learning his trade elswhere and they proffit from it.
