Were he to come out and say he actually quite fancies a move this summer, I'd love us to bid for him. If he'd had a very good euro tournament his fee would have been through the roof. As it is, we'd be looking at an Essien fee.
People can scoff all they want, but if you dont see his potential as a 20 year old kid out performing the big names in France's squad, then you've got nothing. Hell, half the caf wanted us to sign Anelka earlier on in the season - Benzema played twice as well as him
Not all of the higher profile strikers are actually playing well in this tournament.
Ruud, Podolski, Villa, Torres, Van Persie... I'm going to have to add Kuyt - They have all left their mark already.
Gomez, Klose to an extent, Toni, Henry, Anelka and Benzema were misfiring.
