How much money are we going to waste on Simao?

[Guest Benjay]

I've seen this guy play quite a few times for both club and country and he is not good enough and is definitely a panic buy if the story is true.

 

The biggest figure I've heard is 15mil euros. I'm guessing thats around 7mil pounds, which is far too much for this player.

 

Does anyone know exactly how much we are spending on this player (in pounds)??

There's a hint in the title of that other 8 page thread this post could have gone in.

Quite a few times? Well, thats OK then. And how can you dismiss him as a panic buy? And what "story", us bidding for him?

 

Y'know what, if it comes down to believing people like you or Rafa about how much to pay, I know which one I'll be following.

15m is about 10.25m quid , i dont know much about him but a lot of people are raving about him, time will tell

"seen this guy play quite a few times "

 

Benfica fans who see him play week in week out seem to think quite the opposite.

 

Think ill go with their opinion.

Judging on the way Rafa spends his money, he wouldn't splash 10 mil on a bloke he's not confident in succeeding in the English League

So let me see if I've got this transfer lark right:

 

Spend money on the likes of Crouch and Reina = bad thing, cos they cost too much

 

Don't spend lots of money on Owen = bad thing cos we should be able to spend lots of money as Yerpean champs

 

Try and sell Cisse to buy Owen = bad thing cos we shouldn't sell Cisse

 

Fail to sign Owen cos we don't have enough money for him = bad thing, sack everyone.

 

Seen to be interested in players like Stelios and Solano for around a couple mill = bad thing, how can such cheap players be any good, we should be punching our weight spending lots more on quality players.

 

Try and sign a quality player with the money we DID have put aside for a right sided midfielder rather than players we don't desperatley need = bad thing cos he costs too much, and is s*** and not good enough for us
