It didn't stop them selling Welbeck to Woolwich.How much does Manure want for him, especially when they see us as their close competitor for CL. Not much chance of this happening I guess.
He is 27 this summer so still young enough and good enough to command a regular start for a lot of PL clubs. The "problem" we have, in that so many of the "first" team are young, is either getting even younger deputies happy to wait their chance, or oldies happy to sit back and watch for most of the time, but to contribute when called upon. If Soldado could score, he'd be perfect. If Chico accepted that situation, it would be great, and a Spanish speaker to boot.He is a better option than Soldado and Adebayor. The problem is signing someone that is good enough but happy enough to be benched for Kane 90% of the time.
If I'm a premiership striker and the best deal I can get is playing second fiddle to Soldado, then I would just call it a day because it means I'm not worth shit.Don't know how he'd feel playing second to Soldado... But worth a shot!
@KAISERwells You may dislike my post as much as you like – so to speak. Even thinking about signing him is overrating him. It would be like signing Defoe again, only with a foreign name and less womanising powers.
