If we manage to pull off Soares then I'll be in Jisbelief.
Roughly £12.3m at current exchange rates. Bargain
£8m. I could tell you where it's come from, but I won't.
100%?
Who was it arguing a few weeks back that the "option to buy" section of our deals wasn't worth the paper it's written on? Del, wasn't it?
I think this proves, as I suggested at the time, that it's a ridiculous piece of business by ourselves and it's absolutely worth having that agreement included in any deal concerning a player like Jota.
It was quite obvious before we signed him that he'd be too good for the league we are playing in. It was also extremely obvious that his value would increase over the season - so for us to have a pre-agreement in place of just over £12m (or £8m if Craig is correct) for a player of his talents, is utterly ridiculous.
We're taking the piss, quite frankly.

In Del's defence, the option to buy only works if the player (and his representatives) want to stay. If we were languishing around in, say, eighth place then our option to buy would mean fuck all.
