Let's not get too carried away ... Hes playing in the Ecuadorian league in front of 7000 fans every game. We can give him a better standard of football and 10x the pay packet.

Acabo de hablar con José Chamorro, representante de Miler Bolaños y me dijo que lo del Brighton & Hove Albion es FALSO.
Interesting one.....
Would seem that emelec have messed us about and we have pulled out.
Or, the most likely, the player doesn't want to come but emelec are trying to force it through as we are the highest bidder (by far)
Or Albion are trying to keep it under wraps until next week just in...
Another article suggesting Corinthians can't afford asking price .... Agents desperately trying to tout him around south America before he reluctantly gets pushed off to the Albion !!!
Worth noting that there is a lot of recent twitter posts linking him with us and the hitc article suggests we outbid Corinthians with our 7.3m bid. Interesting to see how the Ecuadorian club handle it if bolanos doesn't want to move to England.
Let's hope this is put to bed soon!!
Terra futebol which is a very well regarded twitter feed says the Corinthians bid is 32 million brazilian real which equates to 5.5m pounds.
I reckon he's going there
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.
Got this one wrong.
Pato was their record signing from Milan for £12m. So they have form. Suspect it's not too bad a shout if they really are interested. Much closer to home.
Grabban has a 1 in 2 record for Bournemouth in the championship and a 1 in 3 for Norwich !!! And recently scored against arsenal. FAR more proven than bolanos.
