I have said in another thread that I am surprised Barca would let him go that cheap. They rarely let players who have come through their structure to their first team, go on the cheap. Even Bojan, who they sold to Roma, went for something like £14m despite Barca looking like they were keen to sell.
Alrite mate,
The deal with Bojan was I believe £10m, BUT, Barca has the option of buying the player back after 2 years for the same amount ( hope thats correct, if not, it was quite similar ).
So, with the price at £7m, I'd be careful if it involved the same type of agreement.
£7m for a player with his ability, could be a steal, but we have before been linked with players with great ability for cheapish money, only for us to pass the option on and give other clubs the benefits of there talents. :-
Christian Rondildo, Japp Stam, Sergio Aguero to name a few.
Lets hope the club do there homework on the player, and if he ticks the boxes of what they want, then please splash the cash on the lad.
