man, are you on drugs or something?
no, did you take into account that a 30mln bid for him got rejected? do we have 30mln to spend no.. Has lucas prooved anything in europe, once again no, at his young age its too risky to spend with these ridiculous prices. 10-20mln for a player his age with his potential is more reasonable..
tevez has prooven himself at two big clubs, + he's in his prime.
And remember, Kaka wasn't as much as a gamble because we didnt pay much for him, and players like him don't turn out like that very often..
Keep into consideration my friend, Robinho at Lucas' age was supposed to be the next big thing, is he? No, in addition both RVP and Tevez are better then him(in all respects, they play different positions but overall is what im getting at)..
Im not saying he won't be great, maybe he'll replace messi as the worlds best in the future, he has the potential but potential is always potential, prooving it in big competition is something completely different and for 30, most likely 40-50 since that 30mln bid got rejected, I think thats too high risk
Rather: RVP 20mln, Strootman 15mln, Kolarov 10mln.
If we can be 2x stronger in every department, why would we ever think of spending this stupid money on a player with immense potential but still young as ever..
That's why i said id choose tevez and RVP over him, and present day, not in the future but right now TEVEZ and RVP are better then him yes.
Do you want CL next year? or 3-4 years from now, when we already have ELS who maybe won't be as good as lucas but will get the job done.
Just for the record anyways.. if i had to buy a talent in brazil right now and we had the money to begin with, it'd be neymar..
if our management had a brain, new brazilian talents come out almost every couple of seasons, and i mean talents with World class or if not worlds best potential, we should have some scouts hiding out in brazil for a few years to find some brazilians before their prices sky rocket
