I just have a gut instinct that Camarasa is a tidy player compared with what we have, but that's it. I wouldn't spend tens of millions on him or give him huge wages. There's hardly a clamour of Premier League sides wanting his services.
Had he been consistently streets ahead of any of our midfield last season I'd be genuinely excited at any prospect, but then again we wouldn't be in the running for him again. I'm not saying I wouldn't have him here, of course I would, but I wouldn't spend the earth on him or give him high wages, either.
