Zapata - Deja Vu ?

[QPR1976]

A South American player who no one had ever heard about from a Team few have heard of.
For a ridiculously high fee (£6.4m !) much like Faurlin (£3.5m said GP although it turned out to be only £750k, eventually)
There's bound to be 3rd party involvement, so I just hope everything is 100% above board.

Let's sign him first. Then worry about the rest.

Bit like Michu came out of nowhere for Swansea although that was for £2 million and not the reported £6.5 that we are allegedly paying for Zapata. JUst hope the club dont end up luring players here on big wages and long contracts like they have in the past.

With you on this, hope we have learned from the past.

The reports I've seen have said 'rising to £6.5m' so we'll see I suppose. I still think we're unlikely to win the appeal, so it probably doesn't even warrant worrying about at all.

The good thing though is he's only 22, if need be we can always sell him on.

This 6.4m fee come from Sky, who also report that it's 3.5m! Also it was in the paper this morning that it was 1m! The fact is nobody knows!

[QprSinceBirth]

His wages will be very low , being 22 and coming from the argentine league .

[Mellowhoop]

I saw 1.5m

Faurlin is Argentinian, not South America. So OP is pointless.

Waits for nibbles......
