Saw some stuff on Twitter earlier that we’ve enquired for him, I think it was some sort of Italian source (Gazzetta) that reported it (not sure if reliable?)
I don’t know if this rumor is true or not, but Carlos Bacca is a good player. I call him “devil” because his power and his ruthlessness into the goal zone are incredible.

One thing for sure is if we sign Carlos he would hit the bacca the net a lot

I’m a fan of South American players, I think they work harder and aren’t as fragile psychologically. So yes an improvement over Olly whinging on the turf, certainly.

True, he did start brightly enough though. You reckon Van Gaal had anything to do with it?

To a degree yeah. Fact is though he was on big money and showed a poor attitude in reality.
He started well, got injured for a while and 3 games into his return his house was burgled whilst his wife & daughter were at home, that was the beginning of the end of his time in England, he put his house straight up for sale after that.
Basically a clinical slightly slower but much stronger Walcott. Best on the last defender but yeah don’t want us to sell him though montella doesn’t see him as good for his style of play.
I wouldn’t want Bacca because I don’t feel like has has the attributes to be successful in our system. This is one of the reason Montella wants to offload him, because he feels the same way about him at the new Milan project
