I'm wondering if the situation at Bordeaux has made us turn our attention to Vipotnik. We were involved in discussions last summer before he chose to go there so there's definite interest. I wonder if KLD/Speakman have looked at £2m+ deal for mendy plus wages for a 30 year old and decided its probably better spent offering Vipotnik a bigger signing on fee and wages. Similar outlay overall but youre getting a 22 year older international with high resale potential.
Any deal for him would take longer you'd think given he won't be short of offers, but we've got history of pulling the plug on deals if a better option comes available.
