He's turning 30 this year. Let him go... let him gooo... Just put some faith in a young winger or something. 18M for a 30 year old substitute, meh.

Sane move would be getting that Leroy guy from Schalke.

Isn't he supposed to be the next big thing to come out of Germany? I really doubt we're going to fork out 30-40 odd millions for a backup for MSN, when a young (and thus insanely expensive) CB is priority.

Counter-argument time.

1/ I'd argue that understanding squad status and playing time is more important than talent or potential. Nolito's a really really good player and more importantly he knows the Barca way.
2/ He's obviously keen to come back. Probably at the time in his career where he just wants to win some medals.
3/ He will be 30, but for now, he's 29. Plenty of our squad are that or older and performing well. We're talking about a backup player here, all we need is 2 or 3 good years to be a success.
4/ I'll remind you guys Villa left at 32. After his injury, he still performed relatively well up to when he left (also at Atletico). Again, 2/3 good years until the next crop are there.

Guys like Sane, Brandt are undoubtedly talented, but we've got the best front 3 ever, it's just about keeping the squad harmonious. Few years on we'll be looking at starters.

That said, I wouldn't mind someone else (Sane may be a bit pricey), just hope it's the right fit.

We'd be doing a great disservice to ourselves by buying a young talent now because we'd only be hindering their future development. Acquiring them later might be more beneficial since they'd have more time to fulfill their potential.
