But the fact is you can't get an quality forward player as good as Mirko for anywhere close to the price it would take to land him. Therefore it makes sense paying the 8-10 Million Euros to get Mirko than it does to pay triple for a player who is younger but at the same level, such as Jovetic. Probably makes more sense to get Mirko at 30 and keep him til 34 or 35 than get Jovetic now and sell him for half the money you spent when he is the same age. Also Mirko is more of a guarantee and that too is worth paying for sometimes.
I think his fee and relatively modest wages more than justifies what you get with the player even if you cant make much profit from a future sale. Especially for EPL clubs with their inflated player wages. He is a real bargain. Its a shame he did not want to join Arsenal if its true he rejected them.

I am not all that thrilled about this transfer if we exercise the option. I mean, he is a good player but he is not world class and you are paying 19m. I think in the transfer market these days, the difference in quality of player between 20m and 35m is enormous. Better spend that and get rid of other squad players you don't need.
Anyway, whether we like it or not, Osvaldo is still a better player on balance than Giovinco and Quagliarella. I assume that Vucinic will be also be lowered down the priority as he would have been first change before he decided he wanted to leave. So Osvaldo will be first change for Tevez & Llorente.
That means that in theory he will get plenty of games as we are about to play a game every 3 days once the Europa league starts - even Conte can't have Tevez-Llorente starting EVERY game.
