mwj Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Erm Marca's a half decent paper, and surely if they wanted to drive traffic they would just make something up about Ronaldo or Messi instead of a foreign club last in their league and some random player. Marca is not a half decent paper It's a sports newspaper, it's not exactly going to be The Times is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The player himself has been sharing articles linking himself with a move to us, so there may well be something in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villan4Life Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 (edited) Re: Alfonso Alves (He cost Middlebrough about £12million) Santos if he signed would be £2.5mil max as out of contract in the summer!!

dudevillaisnice Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 To be fair didn't Boro sign a few from La Liga, Stuani etc. We are signing players from worse leagues. I think these targets are realistic and would stay in the championship. For a start Brighton and hull were supposedly after that Santos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont_do_it_doug. Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Fantastic technique for the first 2 goals in particular. He seems very agile and has a touch of the poachers instinct about him. I'd be interested to know if he has any pace? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
