1. Hed score more than Cavani (Cavani, Tevez, Balotelli)
2. Hed play where we would have put Isco and be better at doing that job (Isco)
3. He would provide more assists than Isco, Balotelli & Tevez. (Isco, Tevez, Balotelli)
4. He'll score freekicks (Balotelli, Kolarov, Tevez)
5. He will sell more shirts than the rest of the team put together
edit: 6. He is known to have enjoyed working under Pellagrini
One singing covers the job of all those individuals and if we work out the finances its quite feasible. Plus its possible because of our Nike deal.
To me it makes perfect sense.
edit: You know this has got me thinking. Maybe we were after him all along and we were trying to sign Isco to make Real agree some sort of deal with us?.. (Far fetched I know but you never know with all these football politics).
Well, something is going on. Something big.
The reasons you give for buying him are bang on the mark. As are the reasons others have listed for not wanting him.
If he moves to England, that team will probably win the league.
I think our owners have made Messi enquiries. If they are shot down/have been shot down again and again, then it is not entirely impossible that the greatest alternative is Ronaldo.
Fuck it, I'm sitting back with my arms crossed.
