    How do you know there's a bid lodged?

    I've watched acqufresca a couple of times and every time he's looked the part, thought he'd be well above us, maybe coincidental I saw him on his best days each time?

    Be a great signing if true IMO.

    Ah, just re-read it, did it on a phone. There should've been a question mark at the end of it (bid lodged?)!

    He did well for me on FM, scored 18 in 29 starts in the Prem and 7 in 11 in the Europa League up top with Matty Fryatt and as we all know games like FM and FIFA are pretty much like real life ;)

    You should get in touch with the club and let them know this. It could be vital information they may otherwise not have known.

    I just thought I'd bump this as he's now being hailed as an almost cert to go to Brazil and is being rated in the £15m bracket. I've watched this kid since he top scored at the annual Italian summer youth tournament and told anyone who'd listen that he's the next Christian Vieri. I bet we couldve got him for 500k even last summer, never mind when first spotted a few years ago.

    If you're serious.

    He has been a rising star for the last 4-5 years and would've cost way way more than that.

    He got 5 goals last year, didnt rip up any trees and Juve were desperate to co-own with another club and the chance to send him to a rival abroad wouldve been far more attractive. We'd have got half of him for that price I'm sure.

    And you dont need to tell me he's been a rising star. As I said, I watched him top score in the Torneo di Viareggio.

    I remember Man Utd being interested a few years ago. I think they signed Hernandez instead.

    He's definitely not just emerged this year. It would have required six figures to get his signature.

    Where did anyone say he's emerged this year? I think pretty much all the comments have been about his obvious potential as a youngster. And you seem to be overlooking - as I already clearly stated - that Juve would only do a co-ownership, which as I said they wouldve been delighted to do with a foreign team hence the 500k estimate.
