we were in for him last season, Benfica put a 90m clause on him, so that says to me he was wanted as first choice, however due to his price we walked away.
we went for KK , again his price was silly for a 29 year old, we went for kounde whose price was excessive considering his inexperience, maybe Benfica have said we will lower his price add ota and its a deal(maybe they needed the money) weve said yep we will do it.
hes been scouted and pep wanted him last season
he isnt our 4th choice
he is young and experience
bluemoon is full of slapped arsed cry babies who want their own way.
just my take on things.
