Who do they think they are? He plainly wants to come here to become a better player and now they want £500,000,000 for him.

Doesnt matter, the brilliant Grahamo Potterino will lead us to PL victory.

Considering they’re strapped for cash, it doesn’t surprise me.
If they are strapped for cash, we will get him for a better price... are they?

I don’t know why they’re being so greedy? Their valuation is completely out of order. The lad wants to come here. They shouldn’t hold him hostage.
£10m should be enough to do the deal. He’s Brighton through and through.

Are you serious? maybe 15 years ago, he's turning 37, he hasn't been at the top level for more than 6 years, lots of loans....well past it.
Rodrigo in Valencia (the Brazilian) is the one who is available this window and Barcelona were interested before all the current turmoil and management change. even he's a bit older at 29, but added bonus that Leeds would like to sign him.

Hmm. Not easy getting a decent striker is it. I hope we’re chatting up the 6 and 7 out of tens as well as flirting with the 8 and 9s otherwise we could end up going home alone

Funny as just read article saying Benfica will struggle with fee....loads of bluster and BS around signings....

Nowadays I tend to think of it as a promising sign when things go quiet at our end and we don’t get mentioned at their’s
Hope not given their COVID figures released today

My experience suggests that when going home alone in these circumstances, it's quite possible to make the best out of a bad situation and you later realise it was probably for the best
The analogy applies here ... ah, sort of

One way I reckon COVID will affect transfers, is that selling clubs are more likely to insist on money up front ... the thinking being, there's so much unpredictability that you never know if a buying club will have the money it thinks it will in 12 months time.
This works to our advantage. PL credit is probably in a better place than it is for other leagues
They brought in about 160 mill last summer from Joao Felix and Jiminez, then 20 more for a striker this summer. 20 odd million for Núñez should be within reach.
Wage-wise PL and Bundesliga clubs might gazump them but the agent claims money won't be the key factor. Ordinarily, that'd sound like bollocks but it would make sense if they already have eyes on his next move. A good season at Benfica could set him up for a seriously big move. For a kid from Uruguay, it might be an easier transition to head to Portugal than to Germany or England, both on the pitch and off it.
Having said that, talking up Benfica might just be the agent trying to draw in other clubs and raise the fee. Who knows.

Any Spanish speakers? New article about us in the local Almeira rag. Not a scooby what it says, 18 mill bid?

Open it in Google Chrome and it will translate it for you on the fly.
Offered 18m Euros plus 7m to match the Benfica offer, Southampton also bid.
