I'd be delighted, and not too surprised either. I'm sure this guy has some pedigree, and it'd take a truly shit striker to be on less than twelve goals this season with the amount of chances we create during games. I've been told it's £3.5 million, not hard to believe if he was being scouted by La Liga sides.

So he will either be a better, Argie CMS or a shitter CMS for basically more money - I can take that.

This move failing could backfire massively on Gus, on paper he can deliver - whether he does or not is anyone's guess.

Anyone who scored 28 goals in one season in the Spanish equivalent of the Championship is good enough for me. Lets hope we can get this deal wrapped up.

IF we sign this guy, I think it is safe to say this is Poyet's biggest signing on many levels.

1- A large outlay
2- Needs to score goals/assist.
3- No injury record (as in with Vicente)
4- If he fails, then I think it's fair for everyone to agree that Poyet, couldn't spot a striker in a box of matches( fair enough)

Agree with that, I also agree with your opinion of it swinging either way massively, and not taking a middle ground. Could be a massive flop, scoring only 4 goals next season before being shipped out, or could be a huge success, Lambert-esk type player that gets us to the play-offs and then is poached by a La Liga side. For some reason I can't imagine him in the Premier League but I've never seen him play so what do I know.

Quite like the idea of a striker who has a nickname of 'Cyclone'

 

[Mellotron]

Bizarre people comparing him to CMS - sounds like he couldn't be more different.

 

[empire]

Thanks for the video. With finishing like that it seems he is going to get plenty of opportunities to practice his celebration with us (it's shit!).

Unveiled at the Amex before the Newcastle game would be amazing!

La la la la la Bamba, we've got Vicente, Bruno and ULLOA.
La la la la la Bamba, Andrea Orlandi, Daveed and Calde.

As i said, he was at the Amex. Why would i state this knowing all afternoon (listening to Talksport) that he was on his way to West Ham.
Why he was there, i know not..........but someone does.

 

[brightonmark1234]

He really could be the missing key we've lacked. Thanks.
