Heard from a dubious source we were in for Recoba from Inter for #8m. Can anyone confirm this ? Would be an excellent signing in my opinion

what's so dudious about your contact? Are they likely to have an inside track?

In theory a well placed source but has been wrong before hence my suspicions

Do you know much about him Andrew?
I seem to recall him being a skilful m/f player.
I feel sure we will make at least one big signing over the next 3/4 weeks to capture the imagination, and fire up both the fans and season ticket sales. Everyone is expecting it to be a striker, and although a highly creative m/f player wouldn't go amiss, you then have to wonder who misses out from Solano, Gavilan, Dyer? It could still be Solano. I'm assuming that Speed, Lee and Bassedas will rotate in the holding role.
All this still leaves us with a problem wide left, unless BR is determined to push ahead with his plan to play Domi there.

Recoba is special, worth #8m of anybodies money

Saw him score unbelievable goals a couple of seasons ago

The Guardian's "Football Unlimited" says that Inter are losing the battle to stop him moving to an unnamed Premiership club.

Recoba might even be left footed but I've seen him play up-front, behind the front striker like Peter B used to play. Prefers to pass than score himself unless he is outside the box when he has one of the games better shots, power and bend. hope it comes off.
