I don't want us to waste a summer with useless pursuits. For starters, we'll most likely haggle on transfer fee and once that hurdled is settled, we'd have to agree personal terms. It's not going to happen. How long did it take us to sort out Theo's contract? Are we now supposed to believe we'll blow £20m+ and £250k in wages on a player that's 27?
As good as Shrek is when he's motivated, he's still liable to do something stupid. On or off the pitch. Wenget wouldn't sign a combustible player like him. And even if the club were to suddenly loosen the purse strings, I don't think they'd lose their senses and years of conservatism in one fell swoop by splashing out unreasonable amounts on Wazza.
This story is ridiculous, even by the tabloids' usual standards.
We really should have gone for Wazza when he left Everton.
