Seems like the type of player he'd go for to be honest, On the look out for a player who isn't good enough for the Newcastle side and for eight million! Makes you envy United's scouting system in contrast since they signed a very exciting prospect in Javier Hernandez for around the same price.
Truth is even with today's inflated prices you can still get a very good player for eight million pounds, rather than an average 25 year old winger.
Also Barca signed Ibrahim Afellay for about 2 million, really puts things into perspective.
