Another to add to Otter's list http://www.calcionews24.com/calciomercato-ultimissime-sampdoria-svolta-okaka-offerta-del-watford-449244.html
The transfer market Sampdoria inevitably depends on the sale of Stefano Okaka. The attacker will see the current contract expires in 2016 and Sampdoria not want to risk losing him on a free transfer in a few months, and here he expects the right buyer. And 'it arrived? Maybe. According to reports exclusively by colleagues SampNews24.com, in fact, the Watford has come forward with arrogance. OFFICIAL OFFER - To act as an intermediary is the lawyer Beppe Bozzo, agent of the player that would bring the terms of the proposal of the English club. On the plate 700 thousand euro per season plus bonuses for Okaka and five-year contract expiring in 2020. At Sampdoria should instead be 2.8 million euro, a figure of less than 4 million required by Ferrero but that could eventually be accepted by society Ligurian. In short, the saga seems to have unlocked: now expect new updates, the Watford hopes Cheap. £2m price, £10k a week?!!
Cheap, good age, has played in the Premier League and the mention of a 5 year deal makes me think it's true.
This would be a good signing. For the past five years he's basically been a **** Balotelli (see his backheel goal for Roma), but at Sampdoria under Mihajlovic he was absolutely insane at times this year, IIRC Milan tried to buy him in January. Scored on his Italy debut this season and is a player really on the up, plus he wants out so shouldn't be too hard to get him.
Keeps up the trend I mentioned yesterday of one cap Italian internationals..Fabbrini, Motta, Ledesma..
Personally, I'd prefer him to Gestede, if we are really after him at all; especially with the increasingly insufferable reports coming out once a week about how we'll have to 'up our offer' or whatever. I couldn't be further from in the know, but it smacks of loud agent/Blackburn talk more than anything else to me. To be fair, if we are in the market for a fourth/replacement striker, I'd prefer almost every other one we've been linked to over Rudy, so I'm not saying that much. Not sure about Okaka's pace, but could be one of the better options. My vote is for Doumbia above all, though, however unlikely that actually is!
Beppe bozzo - titter! Now I've heard it all. Simultaneous a good proper Italian name, the name of a circus clown and a Pozzo, Beppe, Baz hybrid Zeitgeisty
I want to see a picture. I'm imagining a receding hairline, please let him have one and oily remaining hair and short
DiMarzio: "Okaka from Sampdoria to Watford , a market perspective that has now found an obstacle . The Sampdoria striker is not convinced of the destination , and then the discussion should jump . Okaka currency and reflected , but for now the Premier moves away"
