The problem with Candreva is that it indeed was 8m Euros but for HALF his contract, so he was valued around 16m.
Caceres would've meant no Krasic though.
Ahh, you're right. I should have remembered that.
In retrospect, what a fucking dumb deal that was, which proves my point that the loan and buy option deals are NOT always "the best." To think that a younger 20's player could make such a huge impact in such a shit team that we would be convinced to sign him is completely ridiculous, especially because only four months were left in the season. And if we did want to sign him, we would still have to go through the co-own process.
I didn't even think about that before, so thanks for bringing yet another example of Secco brilliance to my attention.
At least Candreva could move the ball, unlike a few other tards we have now. But yeah, at those inflated exercise prices, it's obviously too much.
