Not seen such Bravery!
So, is he suddenly going to appear at the AMEX Elite Football Performance Centre today, or has he still got to haul himself over from South America before we hear anything ?
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊

Lets hope whoever scouted him knows what he's doing.
Cant afford for this one to be Mark Farrington Mk2.

Indeed, but think of the upside. It works, we get promoted, worth many, many times the fee. Or he is successful but we miss out so he goes to Prem for £mmmms. TB is an astute gambler...

All transfers are a risk. Its a sign of the market place we're in that our risks are now potentially in the millions rather than the hundreds of thousands. Zamora for 100k was a massive risk at the time.

Hope he isn't another Elvis Manu.

All the South American press talk is about Bolanos & Corinthians.
Reports seem to confirm he is on his way to Brazil to discuss terms although all his agent says is that he is "available for negotiations" with a suggested $8m fee
Some comment that it is surprising that "no good European club has made a strong offer ($10m)" - my impression was that we had.
HOWEVER one site (Bastidoressccp) are offering an EXCLUSIVE that Corinthians don't actually want to sign Bolanos so maybe all the other stuff is agent driven?
Confusing but have to say #keepthefaith or #holdthenerve.,... Or just keep watching & waiting
Edit: his agent, J Chamorro, has now confirmed that the link to Corinthians is "just rumour" and that they have offers from Europe) England, Turkey, Italy) and Asia (China)
It's moved on a bit since 4 o'clock this morning!
I'm beginning to get excited

Why would he be? He's a different kind of player and about 6 x more expensive, and has more experience.

Why? There's now a tweet saying that the bid accepted was from BHA! I can dream....
I admit I know very little about South American football. I can barely name a few clubs, let alone name players who are playing for them. So is this Bolanos fellow basically the consolation prize for not getting Calleri?

No, Bolanos is the real deal, apparently Calleri is rubbish. [emoji14]

Some think second choice, others that we were trying to get both.
More likely to have been the real target all along with Calleri a smokescreen

Who?

If we do sign him, and at that price, I really really hope the club are doing the FFP number crunching correctly, especially with the extra cost for Knockaert!
The transfer fee will be divided across the length of the contract anyway
