yeah, i heard he is a great target man !
Even if this rumour was true and we did reject 50m for Amauri, i'll still be glad we did it.
First i want to say that Amauri is the most complete striker in the world. He's not a great poacher as Trez or RVN, he isn't a great support striker as Del Piero, but he is very good in everything and no other attacker is so complete.
Amauri is a good goalscorer, he has very good positioning, he can play everywhere in attack, his airial power is unmatched in the world, he has amazing technique, he has a magnet on his chests and he picks up all the long balls, he can create chances for himself and for the others. He's pure gold.
As for the 50m offer...
First of all, in January we'd have lost Amauri if we accepted the offer. Trez is expected to be back in February (he said so in today's interview with him). David will probably need time, at least a month, to be back in form, and it will probably be way too late for us.
Then, are you guys sure that we'd have invested the money smartly ? You keep attacking Secco for being an awful transfer guru and now you say that with the money we could buy Fabregas. Are you sure that Arsenal will sell? Are you sure that Real won't offer 60m ? Chelsea won't offer 80m?
Even in the summer i'm not sure we can buy such a world star, how can i be sure that we'd have bought a great player in January ? Plus, this world class player, whatever his name is, will be cup-tied in January.
Amauri was a great transfer. We are so lucky to have him. I hope our board wo't be foolish to sell him now or during the summer.
