He'd be a great understudy for Soldado if it happens. Again, if it doesn't, it doesn't, but it's not his fault all the parasites that have attached themselves to him had dreams of a bigger payday than reality warranted. We need to remember that agents and third parties get their claws into these young Brazilian players early and their fates aren't always their own. I don't hold all the near misses against him. If we miss out again, good luck to him at Inter or wherever. He seems a good kid.

If you're happy with Soldado, JD and Kane then you're deluded.

This. Soldado could blow out his knee September 3rd and his season is over. If our backup strikeforce is Defoe and Kane we are royally fucking screwed.

My advice to Levy/Baldini: IF you were even exploring Damiao as an option - take that money, call Benfica and offer that amount for Rodrigo.

From previous attempts, I'm not too fussed either way. If he comes, I think he'll give us a genuine alternative option to be able to rotate/rest Soldado, rather than overwork him due to a big drop off in the quality of replacement. Of be doesn't, it's no loss.
To be honest, that's the way I feel about Willian too. After the summer we've had so far, I'm more than happy. I have faith in Baldini to go out and get us the required players.

It's because he was new and exciting still. A young Brazilian striker who knocked them in for fun. Since then his name has been written so many times his name is as exotic as Alan Smith. He is still a good player, but the excitemement has gone. Hasn't scored as many this season for them. I feel he should have moved when he had the chance. He may have lost his big chance now.

I'm just a huge fan of Rodrigo and his potential at this point. He can also operate as a wide forward which gives him extra value. But, as far as a future #9, he's one of my favorite talents.

What's your take on Muriel?

Another fantastic player. I think he's got a bit of Suarez in him minus the douchebaggery and cannibalism. Likes to drop deep and drive forward. I think he'd be fantastic in behind a striker like Soldado.

100% agree. Different level now, higher ceiling in the future and more versatile.

I'd still happily see LD join us for something reasonable like we paid for Paulinho. He's a major upgrade on Defoe, Ade or Kane. There are arguably better around at a similar price but the argument is always 'would they actually come to us?'. Starting the season with just Soldado is a big risk. I'd be glad to get any striker of LD's standard right now.

Is there an actual price that we know of that seems to have the most truth in it?
