Any of these names include Oliveira or Rodrigo?
Leandro is in double figures as no.9 for brazil.
15m?
Bargain
And nor should it be.
If Damiao looked that promising there would have been a plethora of european clubs bidding for him last summer. I doubt if we bid more than the 11m quoted by Inter's chairman today, and nor should we have, because he was a gamble on various levels and if we had bid 20m, plus his wages, if it went wrong we would be on the wrong end of a 35-40m pill. And this is not an option for a club in our position. The wrongest deal we've ever done (I believe) was Bentley, and that deal has probably cost us about 25m less any fee we end up with. A club who made a pre tax profit of just 600k last year cannot afford to take many hits like that. Just about every major deal has to make financial sense. Paying market value or over market value for players yet to fulfil potential would be mental and end up with us becoming......yes I'm going to say it again......Leeds.
It's better to buy 10 Aaron Lennon's for 1m and hope just one makes the grade, that buy 1 Bentley and he doesn't.

"Do a Leeds" is such a fallacy.
