Kant Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 He'll play tonight the final of the Europa League (Sevilla v Benfica). I'm quite sure the release fee is not accurate, but he would not be cheap either. Sevilla need to sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirallas Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Seems more and more like EFC should have looked at this forum and read my rants on buying Bacca just one year ago when they could've had him for around £7-9m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirallas Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Hindsight... You have recommended some shite to us though am sure. Mirallas for chief scout? Maybe not. Really? I was the one contradicting a certain forum member about Chadli being better than Mertens. Well look at where Mertens got at Napoli, as compared to Chadli at Tottenham I have heralded Lukaku's coming at EFC 4 months before the deal was done. I didn't rate Leroy Fer when he was about to join us and I think now I can say I still stand behind that opinion. And about Odjidja, I was always sceptical about his potential at EFC, and today he's not even always a certainty in the starting line-up at Bruges (even when he's fit). Who else did I recommend... Vermaelen, he could still join EFC, Arsenal are going to discuss a potential departure this summer. I'm pretty sure I must have recommended Mignolet too when he was still at Sunderland... I'm always a big fan of Adam Johnson... well, those guys got nothing to do with EFC atm, but you can't exactly call the lot of them 'shite'.

Mirallas Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 (edited) Fair enough but I think that Chadli could do a job here. Benteke or Lukaku? Both are excellent strikers. Benteke is more of a tall guy who can win headers, keep a ball, do a quick turn and shoot, he plays a pivotal role up front, which works nicely anywhere. Lukaku works well at EFC, because he does his attacking runs and can hold off a defender. EFC often attacks via the wings, with Baines, Coleman, McGeady, Mirallas, Deolufeu, Pienaar... So when you got a striker up front who can run at a high pace, hold off a defender, then you got a man who can run along with the wingers, receive a pass and get a shot in, while physically outperforming the defence. Passes through the center would be more difficult, cause he doesn't turn quite as well, his first touch is pretty bad... In reality you see that such passes often go wrong with Lukaku.That's where you need a Benteke. Lukaku+Benteke = dynamite. They each have their own benefits. I think if you synthetise it to an abstract conclusion, then Lukaku is more of a man on the receiving end of fast attacks from the wings and Benteke is more of a man for passes from behind. (But Benteke is so gifted, any form of service he could turn into a goal) Edited May 14, 2014 by Mirallas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Sevilla need to sell any club buying off them must have the advantage where price is concerned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blueboy122 Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Wouldn't mind Racatic from them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirallas Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 He's such a pure sang striker isn't he Not a physical enforcer like Lukaku, but he's a pacey little goalgetter. Great to see him play again, it's been a while for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cake Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Wouldn't mind Racatic from them Have cooled a bit on Bacca after watching him tonight, admittedly on tv. I think he might need a bit more time than PL defenders will give him. Rakitic is a definite, though (and Mbia). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he might need a bit more time than PL defenders will give him. Rakitic is a definite, though (and Mbia). That's just one game. He's also not used to this, just over 2 years ago, he was brought to Club Bruges from the columbian competition, he played at Bruges for a year and a half, where be became top scorer of the belgian competition, and was clearly playing below his class. He's only been in Sevilla for less than a year, let alone having ever reached the final of a European competition. This man almost singlehandedly beat Real Madrid earlier this season.

Kant Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 I'm not entirely convinced by Bacca. He looks good most of the times but nothing special, he doesn't have potential and it looks like he choked tonight. €20m seem excessive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_E Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 I don't want him either. Definitely not for 20m, much rather get Rémy then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nikica Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 He's not worth £20m, but it's harsh to judge him on last night. Benfica are great defensively and it's hard to get change out of them. But I agree with the overall point that you shouldn't risk £20m on him if the chance arises.
