That's what I thought at first but after reading a report in the Spanish press it seems it is the way I describe it.

edit - Sid Lowe seems to see it the way I do from what he's posted on twitter.

Yep! One hell of a rapid rise, fair play to him though he's scored plenty in each division he's played in.

Thorne's back packed in for good and he retired, apparently he's travelling the world and surfing a lot, it's a hard life.

Ah! Thanks for clearing that up. Makes a lot more sense that way for both parties.

Sid Lowe was reporting Barcelona had to buy him back but Catalunya Radio said it was an option to buy back.

Again then, what happens if nobody wants him?

He goes to Sunderland.

Liverpool to reduce the MUFC away allocation to 1950 due to persistant standing.

Don't seem to have taken title number 19 very well down in mersyside.

Just under 3000.

Cahill's 3/4 years younger than Jagielka, and, whilst Jagielka is better now, Cahill has more potential, for me.

£15m is overpricing a player, think about it, he's 29 and he's never played in the tampons league. You've got to remember, Jagielka is a centre half, their prices are always generally cheaper than attacking players, don't ask why, it's just the way it is. Realistically, Jagielka isn't worth over £10m, so asking for just under £15m is an inflated price IMO. Jagielka's price will only go down as father time catches up on him. Moyes has to be sensible and realize he could probably find another good defender (when you take his record with defenders into account) for a much cheaper price.

Everton have to be realistic about their plans. They're a club that rely solely on transfer income, if they're getting £15m for a player who's 30 in a year, then they have to ask themselves if they'll get any more than that or if it's time to cash in.

Is it just me who reckons Bojan is vastly overrated?

You can't really tell. He scores goals for fun whenever he gets a game, he's still very young and could well kick on and be whatever he wants.

Conversely, he could just have looked good and scored because he was in Barca's team. You won't know until he tries it somewhere else.
