Balance out whether this investment is worth it in the long run if he plays an important part in helping the club achieve Champions League football for next season, and we can gain some sort of consistency in those 2/3 years we can get out of this player. It allows us to buy some more time to search for a younger alternative (that could even happen in the summer), while adding a player who is proven at the highest level.

If we fail to reach the CL for a second consecutive year, it will be very damaging to the club and it'll be hard to find a way out of that. The negative of missing out on CL will outweigh the positives of finding a cheap alternative in my opinion. I wouldn't have the same approach to this transfer if we still had Quagliarella, but we'll have to pay for our bad luck unfortunately.

I'm sure someone has that table of how much clubs receive in TV rights for each stage of the CL (Groups, quarter final, semi final etc). At a guess I think we got €25m from that season where we lost to Chelsea.
I understand & completely agree with what you're saying. There's no doubt that not getting CL 2 years in a row is quite damaging. But there is one big flaw in using such a reasoning right now.

Forlan joining us does not mean CL qualification.
Just like Forlan not joining us does not mean no CL qualification.

Right now we need someone up there who can score goals in the absence of Quag. Would I want that person to be Floro Flores or would I want Forlan?

Neither.

Throw a few extra names in the mix.





Like Bojinov or Maccarone :D

I love naked women wearing high heels. It's my ultimate turn on.
My ultimate turn on is showing up at my date's door and seeing she's wearing some sort of 'fuck me' dress. Tells you she wants it and what's truly great about is that from that point on you have all the power :D.
