Surely we either get him on a private jet....or we get out there and do Medical etc and he signs papers out there..whole new world of transfers!!

It's a fair point, but not really knowing anything about the Everton deal it does seem outrageously cheap. Maybe the wages they offered, the remaining contract duration, the less prolific goalscoring can account for some of the difference? But 500k... I think that's far more surprising than 6 million for Calleri

He signed for River Plate in 2012 so my guess is he probably only had minimal time left on his contract, hence the price.
Having people who can score goals would be very exciting - and this guy could be the difference between mid table and being the real deal! I really want this guy in. No idea how many Elvis will get, but more than March would score I guess. Just now it would be good to see Hemed getting goals from open play before he starts to lose confidence. Signs that Baldock could score a few this year are good. KLL certainly is getting a few. I am sure Kayal will get some. Then half a dozen from Dunk .....

Leo........... thats a short memory.............. i haven't forgotten mighty Federico Turenzio and genuinely thought (at the time) both Battipiedi and Baz plucked from Argentinian obscurity would be flair for a club like ours
Boca Juniors playing alongside Tevez??.............. what the hell is happening to our crap club from Gillingham and Withdean, Only seems like last week (2008) when I was at, what was the Walkers Stadium delighted that we were able to cling for a lucky 0-0 against Leicester in league 1. Mickey Adams pt2, where our only tactic was to hoof it long for Nicky Forster to chase the few times we got anywhere near the ball.
This is all to much to take.

Wonder if the club could offer COG as a sweetener in the deal.

The Argentine league is streets ahead of the Uruguayan league, for one. And Boca are arguably the biggest club in the country.
Contract length? Age? Potential? Initial outlay may only be £500k but huge add-ons for appearances/goals?
There could be a ton of reasons.

Elvis is a front man I thought, if we are after another surely baldock will be sold....
All the nay sayers really do puzzle me .
If we have no chance of singing Careli, would club representatives still be out in Buenos Aires three days before the window slams shut (sky tv copyright)
I would have thought if there was no chance, we would have come home, and put more effort into getting someone else. Our recruitment team seem pretty switched on now, so, , although I'm not convinced we will get him, we must still be in with a shout

We did buy a player for £500K as well from Shrewsbury. Goes to show we can shop in both ''Poundland'' and ''Harrods''

That's alright - Brizzle City are bound to offer us £10-12million to have him back and that will cover all our outgoing costs this window!

Would imagine Elvis will play more as a winger. Doubt Baldock will go, he has been good this season so far and is forming a decent partnership with Hemed.

We are surely not rich enough to gamble millions on another untried Argentine.... Leo had proven his worth in Europe, this guy would be a total leap in the dark....
