Alejandro Moreno

So why not make money when you can make money on a guy that, while he's a very good forward and has proven to score goals when he's on the field, hasn't been on the field for you much and hasn't proven to be the guy at the club.

I thought it was an opportunity missed for not only Ricardo Pepe, but PSV here, an opportunity that may not come around again.

Yeah, Ricardo Pepe's played about 35% of the minutes available to him.

Till's the goal scorer right now, the offensive midfielder they have.

So, it's not like they're hurting without Ricardo Pepe.

They've got almost a 20-point lead in their division.

What's the real reason?

Well, this is what I'm getting to, Chris.

I

I think the only reason here is they said, well, hold on a second.

Fulham's really going to pay us $43 million for this kid?

What if he plays the World Cup and scores a goal or two?

That's got to be the only reason because it doesn't make sense.

He's not going to be available until March if he's lucky.

What are you banking on?

Because you've already won the league pretty much.

You're out of the Champions League.

So what is it you're really holding on to?

Unless Ernie Stewart and company at PSV think, wait, if they're about to give us $43 million, if they're about to make this player one of the highest transfers in their history, what will somebody else give us if he has a decent World Cup?

That's the only thing I can think of.
