We could get Neto with add-ons coming to £60m
Only way it gets done.
With those add ons being if he remains injury free for longer than a month.
Unfortunately that is the worry, if he didn't have injury issues he'd already be playing for a huge team
He's fantastic
But why would we want all the injury baggage??
Because the recruitment team have more information than we do and decided that the risk is worth it.
Obviously a massive risk though and for someone like Lange as the new DOF, he's probably staking his standing within the club on being right about it.
I think Nico is just not on the table for us.
He will stay in Spain unless a super club comes in and blows him away with a massive wage offer.
Neto's injury history is so weird. If you look its not a recurring injury to the same part of the body. His recent hamstring problem is the most concerning for sure, but its not like he's repeatedly torn an ACL or injured an ankle over and over. Its is a little worrying that seems when he does get injured its always major.
They won't be able to turn their nose up at Josh Onomah and £3m.
Even though Josh Ononmah isn't Basque, so they wouldn't play him.
Nico isn't that price on the free market. He's not relevant when comparing to Neto as he isn't coming here.
Hasn't actually done the same hanny twice either, right?
You can also make the case that Wolves had a smaller squad and needed to burn through him even when he wasn't fully recovered or close to the red zone for his hamstrings.
With our squad the way it is, we would never have to do that.
The main issue is what’s causing the hamstring injuries in the first place. If it’s simply a case of strengthening the muscle then you can take the risk.
But if it’s an underlying biomechanical problem (i.e how he’s running or weight distribution around the hip) then you want to avoid him like the plague.
Didn't think about that - Lamela's hips immediately came to mind.
Neto single handed turned us over last season... if i remember rightly ,came on and changed the game .....that's worth 60 mill

It's a good penalty because it was beyond the reach of the keeper, who dived the right way.
Can you imagine the pelters he'd have got if he missed though? I reckon he'd have stayed in Germany had that happened, he'd have been lynched over here!
To be fair, in the last 5 seasons he's only missed 19 games due to hamstring injuries.
Over the last 3 seasons, Van de Ven has missed 30.
It was a knee injury that kept him out for nearly an entire year. So we'd have to hope there's no effects of that creeping up in future.
Exactly and this is where I have no fucking clue so would have to trust the information that the club is acting on.
For 50m we'd have to fucking hope that they have done all this type of analysis and worked out if there is an underlying cause. Like I said, this would be Lange's first marquee signing, he's literally staking his reputation at the club on it. Ange to some degree as well.
We have to hope they aren't stupid enough to guess and we can take a pretty good fucking educated guess that Levy wouldn't sign off on that kind of fee if he hadn't seen a convincing case from them.
