Village Idiot Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Ok, I have been hunting around and he's also linked to Arsenal, Sevilla and Atlético, so I suspect it's just the usual random linking every time a player is successful. €20m is indeed his release clause.

Dave Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Why wouldn't we spend that much? Probably because it's pretty much twice the amount Ashley has ever sanctioned for a player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Why wouldn't we spend that much? 20 millions on a player who's had one good season? Love us to take that risk, but just can't see it happening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 We sold a player for double that on the back of a good season so to sign his La Liga equivalent for 50% of that would be seen excellent business by Ashley imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 IF Pards can get MA to go for that deal he will be hailed as a Toon legend Its either going to be an amazing summer window or a totally tragic one, no inbetween. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 He would be a great fit for the PL. He's a tall and strong lad but also capable with the ball on the floor. Good burst of speed too. Paying the full €20m is a tad risky though, although I can't see Málaga settling with less than that given they don't need the money at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 That and Tiote's new contract would probably be all the Carroll money spent. Not a chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 If we're gonna blow £20m on a striker, good God do we have to get it right. I confess to knowing nothing about him, but for it to go on a young lad who's had just a decent spell in La Liga... seems a bit risky. That's if there's anything whatsoever in the linkage.

For £20 million I'd want a tried and tested goalscorer. Someone like Darren Bent would have been ideal as he WILL score goals. A "number 9" striker is our main target this summer and, subsequently, next season could be disastrous if Pardew/whoever gets this one wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I'd far rather we got two £10m players than put all of our delicate eggs into one basket. Neither scenario's gonna happen, like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Yes, the business lies in picking Salomón when he was worth €3.5m, not 20. You did that with Tiote and Ben Arfa so it can be done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
