I think the window of opportunity has closed in terms of their financial troubles, since they sold Cazorla and a few others on high wages and qualified for the group stages of the CL. Their billionaire owner may also have stopped completely ignoring them.

If the risk (price) is actually high, then absolutely not. If the price tag is like 5 mil or less then sure.
Estimated just north of 3 million.

Ive never seen him play before, those videos certainly make him interesting though.
Looks good in the air, good shot on either foot, links well around the box, composed and physically very strong. All attributes that lead to a good premiership striker.
Of course its a youtube video and even Razsiak can pass as a footballer on there!
He is young and beginning to solidify his form...his most serious flaw is being unable to perform internationally. I don't know if he gets better service at the club level or what, but his season stats so far are tasty.

It's not just internationally, he has never performed well at the club level before AZ, so the usual caveats about Eredivise strikers will inevitably jump to mind. In his favor you're right that he is at least still relatively young. I hope his time there is improving his touch and technique, which has always looked sub-par.
Eredevisie strikers, you say?
I don't know if I would take the chance on Jozy. He has disappointed me on every level from his days in the MLS with New York, the sporadic appearances for Villareal and Hull City and most of all the US National team. I guess for 3 million or so, it doesn't hurt as he is still young and he is really starting to hit his stride.
Hardly set the world alight with Hull City that Altidore.
Though he did do this....
...to our favourite Scottish right-back.

Thoughts on a potential move for Kaka?....given our "special relationship" with Real? Özil?
Ronaldo
Messi?
Kaka would be fun, and the rumours about him playing for us have been so strong, there might have been some truth in them. Redknapp talked about "a big one" that we tried to sign om deadline day about a year ago. Özil? No way.
I just really dont want Götze going to Woolwich scum.
Is a 30 million release clause that unreasonable for Spurs?

Young is having a bit of a mare at Man U, for the right price I don't think it's the worst move in the world.
How about this guy?
