On Twitter this morning :
Some comment that it is surprising that "no good European club has made a strong offer ($10m)" - my impression was that we had.
We certainly are being bold by trying to deal directly with South American club. Trying to think of other Englsh clubs who have bought directly from SA and not come up with many. Hernandez signed for Man U from Guadalajara but Costa, Aguero, Sanchez all came via Spain ( and of course Ulloa). Has there ever been a direct signing to a Championship club?
Is this a sign that this and Calleri are just in the too difficult box?
My balls are telling me it's on.
How does that manifest itself? Tightening, dropping etc?

Fenerbache, Udinese, Sampdoria, Espanyol, Shanghai the reported competition while Corinthians are seemingly/maybe/maybe not out of it.......... but not clear who has actually bid.
Who would he choose?
Latest "inside" (ex-player?) leak from Emelec is that bids are from England (bhafc) Spain (Espanyol) and China (Shanghai)
Resolution in theory later today

I smell bs with the espanyol link. Their record signing is 4 million. Which was 10 years ago. Like most Spanish sides they're broke and by looks of it have only paid over 1 million once in the last 5 years.
