My spanglish is not very good, about as good as google but it appears Stoke have agreed a $13m deal, and then take the player in December..this is more believable.

EDIT: Bladders post is even more believable! NEXT!

Well, it was fun while it lasted. Certainly more fun than being linked with Chris Holroyd

The news that a couple of days ago he said he said he'd like to play for Inter one day doesn't make this any less likely, does it?

The fact that an Argentinian with Italian heritage would like to play in Italy is hardly shocking. Nor is his claim that he'd like to win the title with Boca. Coming to us is still unlikely but I don't see how the situation has changed.

That's more like it!

The moves still on!

For extra straw clutching I found this. Maybe the big clubs are still dubious and we could be his door way into a big club eventually in Europe, if he turns out to be good enough of course.

Jonathan admits he must improve his eye for goal and the field suggests that it is doing so in the best way , but a player with his qualities can only grow further . The threshold of 22 years , the final consecration Calleri look at home , before setting out to conquer Europe . An attacker so mobile with a good basic technique is the bread for European football , and what the indications are that it will not need a period of acclimatization very long , once landed in Europe . The success of every single South American in Europe is dependent on many factors and is always unpredictable , but the feelings of this guy is good .

Well they say money talks, and I've nowadays realised that bookmakers odds are often a way to get info. Not always precise, but a pointer.
Knowing as has been suggested 'El Lizard' likes to play the odds, I'm wondering how much any of his wonga has influenced our incredible shrinking Championship odds...BHA now only 4/1 for promotion, and 6/4 from 9/2 to make the top 6. It certainly wasn't my twenty quid that did that ! ???

Some clarity: The Argentine Peso is known colloquially as the Dollar. Hence they differentiate by calling the US Dollar the US Dollar and not the Dollar!
The current exchange rate is about 14 Pesos (Dollars) to the pound, so the fee being discussed is about £1 million!

Worth a gamble for that.

You think Boca would be willing to sell a 21 year old striker who's scored quite a few goals in his short career, for 'about £1 million' :facepalm: Absolutely no chance, I'm not saying we are bidding as much as is suggested but if you seriously think a big club like Boca would sell Calleri for that sort of money then I cannot help you

So you definitely know it's the peso being referred to in the article then?

English - [ALERT] A team of England, is not the Stoke City, wants to Calleri already. The offer is good but insufficient for mouth. HARD.

'Insufficient for Boca' (literally 'mouth' in Spanish)
