These are the same arguments people make every time we make a head scratching signing that turns out to be shit.
Not a good omen Mark.
So should we all just turn on him now Ross?
I couldn't be arsed arguing against people calling him a waste of money when I really hope he isn't. It isn't a position I want to make right now.
I don't know how you have the motivation.
I mentioned him already in the thread, or maybe the other one. He's in Binny's thread above.
So the example is one player?
Jairo played in the Segunda last season aswell. Difference is he's being bought from a club in the Segunda div B as they got relegated. Luis Alberto is being bought from La Liga. Buying a player from a third tier league club in financial crisis will be a bit different than a player from a La Liga club no?
You didnt think this through Ross
anyone any idea what price barca had the option to buy him for ?
and i've no idea why this is being debated , they paid 7m for him based on his season for barca B. Whether or not they overpaid we'll find out but clubs have been paying stupid money for flops for years when they thought at the time he was worth x or y . I mean some gobshites paid near 20m for downing .
I think Rosco is having some sort of a mid-life crisis and needs someone to talk to.
It's ok Rosco. We're all here for you. So, what is it that you wanna talk about ? Luis Alberto ?
Yeah. Totally agree with you that it's a gamble.
I'm still too young for a midlife crisis.

In Barcelona B Alberto was 1st in assists and 2nd in goals.
4m option.
Zaha is a lot better than ince thats why. Zaha only switched off once he got his transfer.Thomas Ince really had a fantastic season didn't he, I have no idea how Zaha is rated so much higher than him.

He was signed by Utd, in media land that automatically makes him one of the top 5 players in the world, there will be outrage if he doesnt win the FIFA world player of the year next season
