You seem to be saying we should be wary of signing foreign players becuase one didn't work out. Yet we have a whole list of ones that did Older people will remember us signing a pair of Chinese players that couldn't speak a word of English yet they worked out well for us. Suggesting that we shouldn't buy someone because he's Spanish is a daft response when the Premiership is littered with foreign players (and managers) that have little or no English

If we bought 2 players from Spain, that know each other it's easy for them to settle. It's a risk of a small budget, maybe if we bought 2 players from Barca it might make munir settle.

All for buying two players from Barca ! Purring at the thought of being a finishing school for Ajax and Barca players...

Can't see us spending that on back up I'd imagine if we signed him he play as one of the front three and be a starting XI player. At £15m my gut said it was a good buy. €25m is a fair whack more and to be fair we'd probably be better off spending it elsewhere. Maybe a bid of £17m would test there resolve. Think that's about €20m? Probably to much though. Rather we play RLC up top and spend the money on CB and WBacks. And a keeper!
