Details about the ownership of this guy aren't concrete, with reports saying various things - it looks like it could be a "Tevez" style deal.

That's a big gamble (£3.5m) on some guy who's been playing 2nd tier football in south america.

Very lazy journalism.

Transfer fee is nowhere near £3.5 mil .. Deal could rise to that, in reality, I'm led to believe the fee is pretty minimal.
