Sorry but I strongly disagree with that. You sign a player of Suarez' quality regardless of his issues. Balotelli is just not in that class.
I really hope the Balotelli rumours are rubbish.
for 14m you cannot go wrong, rogers might be able to take him to another level, these days for that type of money you can get Leeds' best player....
hella sign him for 14 mill
95% of transfer are complete bull shit so who knows what is happening. Don't think this deal will happen bit apparently these were the quotes from Vidal on some Chillean tv channel.

I'm very happy with the Herrera purchase and think he will do well for us
well leeds player might not score any goals and win anything.
And in related news: Joe Royle has rejoined Everton as a youth team 'advisor'. What does that involve? 'Now, this is a pint...this is your mouth...pour it down...'

Telegraph saying that an 8m bid for Davies has been rejected
So no Moreno, for the sake of a few million. And not just Moreno. Shaw, Rodriguez, and Rojo, 3 really excellent young left backs, all available this summer. All could've been long-term solutions to a very, very, long-term problem. About as guaranteed investments as you could hope for in football.
*That's* a lack of ambition, right there.

Worth a try I should think.
Rodriguez isn't going to stay at Wolfsburg much longer, that much is certain.
No arguments there. Just get the feeling it'll end up being someone like Monaco spending 20M on him, and offering great wages as well.
How is it, we have apparently bid 16m which shows ambition they want 20m, 4m is a significant difference. How do we know if Rodriguez or Rojo are significantly better (Rojo appears to be a red card waiting to happen sent off 5 times in last 2 seasons) and we all agree Shaw is overpriced. I admit I don't know a great deal about Davies but I can't see these players are 2 to 3 times better and he is less likely to have his head turned than the others if he kicks on and somebody comes in for him in a year or two.
How? Because we're giving up on a first choice for a position that's haunted us for years, for the sake of £3-4m. A player who could play for the next 10 years. Spread that £4m across 10 years - £400k a year. Factor in inflation and you might be looking at £200k a year in current terms.
It's an insignificant amount of money when we're talking about a long term investment.
Btw, I've no idea why people seem so confident we'll get Davies for £10m. If he's as good as most think, the first thing Swansea are going to do is look at Shaw at £30m and think he must be worth £18-20m.
He isn't. But £14m today buys you a steak pie & chips. More than worth the gamble.
Is it ? We may have valued Moreno at £13-14m and pushed the boat out to £1m to get him, then you can understand 50% more than our valuation isn't just a 'few million'. Simply put we really don't know. Shaw for £30m+ is simply potential, that is a helluva risk, he may be great for 10 years or he may not progress at all. What other 18 year old has gone for £30m plus ?
As far as who we do get, and we will get someone, then maybe they will actually do a better job for us. The Davies offer rejected sounds promising, a more defensive minded LB compared to Moreno/Shaw.
