These guys only have to put up with playing for the Albion for half a season then if we fail to gain promotions they may have a release cause in there contracts and if we go up they will get paid Premier wages and would be worth more on the transfer market.

Shouldnt they have switched them on Tuesday evening so that supporters in the west stands could see what was happening on the East wings clearly.

The way I've read it is that we're looking at another South American striker who is playing out there already? Not a South American striker playing here or in Europe.
So I wonder who this other striker plays for down there? Who is near the top of the striker chart and is reasonably young (resale value)

I was just looking on the scoring charts in the Argentine Prem..
Marco Ruben at the top of the scoring charts would be a realistic target IMO. Joined Dynamo Kyiv from Villarreal in 2012 and struggled to adapt, has been out on loan three times in the last three seasons and is currently banging them in for Rosario Central. His contract at Dynamo runs until 2017 but I can't see him returning there.
Mind you, it seems this season is the only one where he has consistently scored goals (21 in 28). He had two goals in the three seasons before that and is turning 29 in a couple of days, so there are certainly drawbacks.
Another potential target, Leandro Miguel Fernández of Godoy Cruz. 14 goals in 26 apps this season and only 24. Looks impressive on Youtube but then Billy Paynter probably has a highlight real making him look like Lionel Messi.
Again, having a strong season this time around but hasn't scored goals consistently throughout his career.

Lets hope these South Americans are full Internationals or have a dodgy European passport or they wont be coming.
I'm merely speculating of course, and I know for sure we are looking at Argentina, hence it made sense to look for players playing there.
On the Brazilian front, Lucas Pratto of Atletico Mineiro could be an option. Argentine that holds an Italian passport and "is also an avid fan of The Simpsons, has tattoos of both Homer and Bart, and an english bulldog named Santa's Little Helper". 12 goals in 28 this season:

I'm not a big Naylor basher (beyond his writing), but I do find it rather tedious how he claims that he/The Argus are running exclusives when there's a 100+ page thread on here about Calleri. I wonder what their editorial policy is, and whether the editors/advertisers insist on including the bigging up of The Argus at every available opportunity, because it really diminishes what they do and indicates that they're inhabiting an entirely different era to what we're actually in which, in turn, reinforces the increasing irrelevance of the paper.
