Yep and I reckon it's €11m vs £25m so a huge difference. Let's face it, £8m ish does not come with a weight of expectation like £15-25m and, we all know it's a punt that could be brilliant or might end up not paying off. However, much worse punts can be made in that bracket of fee, we've made a few and several for far more!
He only needs to have an odd mercurial moment here and there and play Europa and cup games to be worth it to us for resting Harry. Anything more than that and we'd be laughing .
Ya, sure.
you sure?
I could see that it might work and that at that price there is less being risked but I do wonder why his club president and fans want him out so badly and why, so near to the end of the transfer window he is has not found a club in Europe nor one in his home country?
But if he were a success here it would be a steal.
I was initially against the idea of Pato but if Berahino is really out of reach I'd take a punt - as long as we bring a CDM in. (I don't think we will fwiw)
If he does come in we go from no options in attack to seemingly endless
With Perisic to Inter looking like a done deal, I don't think they'll come in for Lamela and Townsend has been talked up by Poch so I don't think he'll go.
Can see Pritchard getting a Prem loan tbh.
Get Wanyama though and we're in fucking business.

You wouldn't know sexy if it mounted you like Secretariat.
haha, i feel exactly the same. After all, he is still a well known name. I have a weird feeling however that Levy doesn't throw around his money "just for the fun of it"
That's a fair enough shout, but, could you not use that logic for any transfer ever? Why do they want to sell? Why are they happy to move on?
Case in point...we are chuffed to be rid of Soldado, Villareal are chuffed to have him?
You see my logic?
Being good/bad at one club is not a prerequisite to be good/bad at another.
Not sure a penalty miss can amount to a bonafide reason for not wanting a player. Granted he's made mistakes but always enjoyed watching a maverick at the club - a la Berbatov, Kanoute, VDV, dalmat..etc
Corinthians paid a huge fee for him by Brazilian standards, as I recall. Probably it was as much a punt (also by third part owners, I would think from what you hear from South American football) to sell him back to Europe later for more, as it was a footballing decision. With him having been loaned out for a while, it's probably now or never if they want to cash in.
As for why he hasn't found a club, it is indeed a red flag. It could be trouble with - potential - third party owners. Also he seems to be doing well on loan at Sao Paolo, so if I was in his shoes, I wouldn't be in a hurry to move just because the Corinthians president wants to sell. Especially when moving back to Europe a second tour, I'd be damn sure to pick the right club, if I did move. Which bodes well, if he comes our way, I guess.
I'm for a punt on Pato we have nothing to lose but as others have said he is scoring for fun in Brazil why do they want rid of him so bad?
Go out of the country for a couple of days and we get a blinding Euro group and we sign a striker (sort of)
Might go offline until Tuesday now and see if the next few days can also bring us some good news.
