Looked like were about to sign him, twiiter just said it was confirmed for around £7m. May just be rumours though. http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/2896...tiations-with-borussia-dortmund-over-transfer (doesn't sound promising but heard on the cottage corner forum apparently is it materialising) Hes 26, paraguayan/argentinian. Last two clubs Cola-Cola: 49 goals in 53 appearences. borussia dortmond 35 goals in 74 appeaences. Was apparently very very good for the las two seasons, but then had an injury over summer and hasn't scored yet this season.
That's a worry - 49 goals, 35 goals then nothing. Just what we need - another striker who is goal shy. Wonder what the injury was - amputated foot by the sounds of things. Who the hell are Coca-Cola, by the way?
Indeed, for 7m has got another flop written all over him. the three times we've splashed out over 10m (to the best of my knowledge0 we've been let down- Ruiz, AJ, the other goes without saying. Id rather not have this guy, would rather Rodellga (spelling?)for half the price Sorry: Colo-Colo, best team in the Chilean league, but not really saying much.
That's an amazing strike rate ... almost .5/game in the Bundesliga - our best is Dempsey at about .3 per game. He's young, too; 27 from Paraquay. In December, it was reported he was for sale about about 12M Euro, but close to the transfer market closure, his price might have dropped (like meat close to its expiration date). One report has us offering 7-8M Euros. That report also has us in for Eren Derdiyok, a 24-year-old Swiss international who's at Leverkusen. He's big and scored 23 goals in 81 appearances.
This was the one transfer that could have saved today for us. Unfortunately it won't be happening. Bolton have also stolen ahead of us for Sordell.
