Still think they must be talking about Argentine Peso rather than US Dollers.

Trust me, there is no way on this or any other Earth we'd be signing him for under a million quid - something around the USD/GBP conversion values given above would be far more likely in this case.

 

[elwheelio]

A combination of pesos and nectar points with a bit of e-cash..?

 

[LamieRobertson]

Deadline day is coming ever closer and all these names keep cropping up

 

[Icy Gull]

The latter - getting him at/around the prices quoted would require more than doubling our current transfer record.

Is he twice as good as CMS? If so he's still only League One quality

 

[rool]

On the basis that most of the signings have been under the radar to everyone this summer, surely all these names flying around today are just red herrings to put other clubs off the scent whilst we tie up the Leon Best deal.

Just hard to believe we are talking about Brighton and bidding £9m in the same sentence. Fantastic times ahead.

 

[grummitts gloves]

Uncle Tone been winning a few poker games lately?? Big bucks!!

 

[Miximate]

No left foot I reckon.

Next...

Will work well with Solly as at least they will have two good ones between them !

 

[Stat Brother]

I guess with Stephens and Kayal picking up cards and the others failing to shine, it's only right to get in another defensive central midfielder.

Although I do hope the club find some attacking flair from somewhere, soon.

 

[brightn'ove]

Perhaps, knowing that the FFP limit is much higher this season, we saved up all the cash from sales the past few seasons to go BIG this year.

 

[supaseagull]

Typical NSC response from a player none of us have heard of.

Personally, no thanks. Unproven Championship players who've never played in Europe are not what we need.

Would much rather we spent the money on someone like Vydra or Hooper

 

[brightonrock]

We kinda have? Uwe Hunemeier, Tomer Hemed, Jamie Murphy, Conor Goldson and the Big Finn have not come particularly cheap. Not to mention Rosenior must be on a few quid!

This.

Hunemeier (£1.7m), Murphy (£1.5m), Hemed (£1m) & Goldson (£600k) brings our spending to nearly £5m this summer in transfer fees alone. That's not even counting their salaries, or the salaries/signing on fees of Maenpaa, Bong, Rosenior and Zamora (none of whom come cheap I'd imagine), or the contract extensions for Dunk, Bruno & Calde.

Even with CMS, McCourt, Hughes, Agustien & all the loanees off our books - you have to assume this is our biggest ever wage bill and most expensive transfer window to date.

This would surely blow out of the water and crush into the dust any lingering, misguided allegations of penny pinching on the club's part.

 

[Frutos]

Typical NSC response from a player none of us have heard of.

Speak for yourself.

 

[Seasidesage]

Looks exactly what we need from his showreel. The goals are all from either running off the shoulder of the last man or in the box tap ins.

The Albion signing players for £7m? **** me I've seen everything now!

 

[severnside gull]

The latter - getting him at/around the prices quoted would require more than doubling our current transfer record.

Worth baring in mind the club have rubbished those figures, according to that argus article

Argentine pesos are more likely than US dollars IMO (just cannot see us spending £6m) which makes it a tad under £800K.
He would need to qualify for an EU passport though and remembering Ulloa that doesn't necessarily come quickly.

 

[Brian Fantana]

If we sign him and Elvis, I'm going to be throwing the kitchen sink at us going up. Still available at 5-1.

No, they're not.
And he has one already, reading the thread.

1) The price isn't in pesos, its quoted in US dollars. The peso price is not realistic for this player and his level of ability.

2) He has an Italian one already.

Fair enough - didn't read the whole thread.
One hell of a punt for our club on a lad with potential but lacking experience. Be surprised but delighted if it came off

Me old man said very much the same. And obviously you're right. To commit that sort of money, we must be pretty confident. Fingers crossed.
