Shit if true. Psg got him on a bargain at 35m. Should have stayed in the race.

We need a midfielder.  40 is a lot for a backup.  It's hard.  The player has to be good enough, but not so good that they complain about game time or cost too much.  Usually this is where teams with a plan get a younger player in to be the understudy and groom them.  We can't do that because we have no idea who the manager is going to be in 2-3 years nor have any idea of how they are going to want to set up.

would have given us a completely different dimension with long shots and corners, but who wants that?

Bought Drinkwater as a backup for that much lol

APPARENTLY so L'Equip say, Zenit are lowering his price back down again,

They got greedy when PSG came into the frame and told them to sod off.

Let's do this! He is a class player. Will so help the drive for 3rd or 4th place and the EL title.

Zenit have nothing to loose, and perhaps a lot to gain, by dragging this out so, if he does move this window, it's likely to be late in the month.

We just need lay £35m (fair price) on the table and say 'да или нет?'

Sound approach as long as we're prepared to walk away when they say "нет".

Yep, fuck 'em if they want to play gangsta extortion. Will not blame the board at all.
