OUR Summer transfer trip takes another surreal twist with an £11m (borrowed from the bank of WTF?) bid for Lucho.
That’s what we’ll chant from the Gwladys after the Porto skipper definitely signs for us ahead of, ahem, Juve, Valencia and Manchester City.
This is a truly mad one.
Everton are said to be ‘confident’ they will get their man. The story is raising more eyebrows than Mourinho’s charity shield line-up.
The ever-reliable Youtube skill-barometer confirms Lucho as a scorcher of a player who unlocks defences with unerring passes and bladders them in from 35 yards.
He’s 26. He’s talented. He plays for his country and he’s going for big bucks.
As our Dom put it yesterday....”It’s just not very ‘us’ is it....
(Incidentally, I will be overjoyed to have my cynicism shoved back down my throat here....If we sign him I’ll get a massive Daniel Amokachi tattoo on my back and/or turn up at the Taxi club on Saturday in cycling shorts.)

It'll have to be the Amo tat, Greg. The Taxi collective is still struggling to deal with the cultural shock that is the smoking ban (anyone wanna buy 25 Cohibas?) without having to cope with anyone in cycling shorts too! And it'll take a brave Blue in Lycra to walk into a bar full o' reds awaiting the 5.15pm Setanta Villa kick-off. But if we get Lurchio Superbio, I doubt you'll care! File under Nunez, Muller, Shearer, Owen and Riquelme.
