Bacca's agent quoted as saying.

"Before he went to Chile, we wrote down a list of clubs that fit that description and Liverpool was on that list."

but then he also says.

He has a good salary in Sevilla but we know how much clubs in England can pay."

is this just touting for highest bidder??

Agents will be agents - there job is to get their client as much money as possible whilst making a tidy profit themselves - these things should surprise nobody.

The only reason I can see him leaving Sevilla to join us is money but if he signs and scores goals then I'm not overly bothered. Some in Spain think because he hit the big time late in his career he is looking to maximise his earnings.

MrA, are you deliberately trying to put Bacca in a bad light?

Underneath is the quote in full - i wonder why you didn't feel you had to quote it all? It is exactly what the press do to make headlines. Breaking quotes down to pieces, quoting out context. Are you the same MrA, are you just looking for a headline?

"We are really looking at three things - number one is to have a happy family situation for his wife and son because he had a bad experience in Belgium. The second is to find a good team with a good project. Before he went to Chile, we wrote down a list of clubs that fit that description and Liverpool was on that list. The third question is the contract. He has a good salary in Sevilla but we know how much clubs in England can pay."

Wouldn't any sensible person want that? A happy family, exiting professional challenges and a good wagepacket?

not intending bad light at all. Sevilla have champions league football next year, he is on good money, family happy etc.

Just wandering why leave that for Europa league with us - the only other Premier league team linked with him is Man U I think (correct me if i'm wrong) - who have champions league football

so if it is not just about the money why would he come to us? All that bollocks about projects - every club can pitch an exciting project if they have a good recruitment team in place

Yeah, but what his agent didn't say was that the "list" was written on a sheet of toilet paper!

I heard he wrote down the names of 3 teams and put each into an envelope.

he is superp player and would be worth every penny. he won europa league two times in row being the best player in spain for two years(after 2 aliens). he is winner,real hardworking striker and he will produce. we need him and if we get him even with rodgers in charge we are up there with the big boys

Bacca will be worth every penny we pay for him and in wages because he is just that good. Better, he has a great mentality and plays with a chip on his shoulder because he was overlooked a lot and only signed his first pro contract at 21. I will pay him 100k a week before I waste fundsand time on a lazy Benteke.

Rather Bacca than Benteke.
