No chance!

Yes why would PSG not take up the deal?

Because he'd rather sign for us.

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

No chance!

I am digging your optimism.

If you were PSG, worst case you'd buy him for 6m and sell him straight away

Either they don't rate him (or don't feel like he'll fit), or he doesn't want to play for them.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Comedy season! Seriously?

 

[Dancin Ninja BHA]

Can I be the first to admit I haven't even heard of the player, let alone know which position he plays, strengths, etc.........sorry!

 

[Gonzo BHA]

A couple of years ago he was being talked about as one of the hottest properties in world football. If anyone can get him to fulfil that potential then surely it will be RDZ.

Not with others offering double the wages.

Our only hope would be that he is willing to take a more patient, having already been at 2 "super clubs". Maybe, just maybe, he'd rather go somewhere that he's more likely to get regular starts.

Or maybe he'll take the massive weekly pay on offer elsewhere.

 

[BevBHA]

Have read interviews saying he wouldn’t be certain to accept PSG as he wants to play, hence joining PSV in the first place so would be interesting to see if he sticks to that

 

[Coldeanseagull]

It seems he only plays for abbreviated teams...PSG, PSV,.....between us and Dortmund then

What about CSKA and AEK?

I increasingly think our name is added to these lists as a way of putting the willies up big 6 and similar club directors (and the fans who pressure them into player purchases).

They want the club directors to think .... "if we're beaten to the signing by a little club like Brighton and he turn out to be magic we'll look silly. Quick let's up our offer"

 

[Farehamseagull]

If we pulled that off it would be astonishing!

I think its because we sold a load of players then didn't pìss all the cash away. It give the rumours modicum of believability.

Everton were linked with everyone where their owner was throwing money away.

 

[Stato]

Have I got this wrong, or doesn't that tweet just say that PSG, and only PSG, have an option that would get him for €6m?

If that's right and they don't take it up, won't he be PSV's player? Although we might have asked about his situation, once we got this answer, would we willing to pay what they'd ask? We've already spent £30m breaking our transfer record on an attacking midfielder this summer, and are still in need of a centre back, a goalkeeper, some full back cover and potentially a replacement for Caicedo. Moises would bring in a lot of money, but, if we weren't getting a bargain, would we splash a good part of it on another first eleven ready attacking midfielder? Previous evidence suggests that we'd be more likely to take a punt on three or four unknown South American teenagers who might be ready in a couple of years.

Worse case would be you buy him for 6m and then find you can't offload him right away and are now stuck with his wages.
