What do I think?
Do you really want us to answer that?

Do you think he is a good player??.. What do you think the likelyhood is we would go back for him for 15 million Euros?? Is that good value for money?? Would you prefer another winger??
Sorry I wasn't more specific... you don't normally have to here!

quaresma is a far better option. don't know how much he'd cost though.

I like quaresma, but I do think we should find other targets, other than simao and quaresma.

I think that Simao is a good player but he is old because he is 30 or more years. Quaresma is a very very good player in Portugal though in Spain he did not stand out.

I'm not convinced that Simao will hack in the EPL.

I also am of the opinion that Simao may not be upto the riggors of the premiership. He does look very lightweight and going up against some of the big burly full backs over here could be somewhat of a problem for him. In all honesty he may be more skillful than Pennant (I've not seen too much of him to be honest) but I just don't know whether he'd be able to show more than what Pennant does.
As for Quaresma I know little about him. I know that like Simao he was at Barca in his early career (around the same time as Luis Garcia) and that the two of them seemed to vye for the same position alot of the time (I think). LG seemed to come out as the preferred choice most of the time. I assume he must have improved since then for people to be mentioning him but from what I remember from his Barca days he wasn't anything special.

simao...
the guy is class im really angry we haven't done anything to get him because he can more than hold his own on the right wing...
but i just get a feeling we wont buy a new right winger this summer...
rafa knows he has pennant, and gerrard if needed...
i have to admit im not a fan of gerrard being put on the right wing...
i have my doubts on pennant being our main right winger, even though he had a decent season...

Does this guy offer much more than Garcia?

why dont we both both simao and quaresma? why dont we buy gareth barry, stewart downing, joe cole, micah richards and jermanine defoe? go all english. 
then we can also get tevez and lahm if possible...anyway i think the under-21 championships are going on now im sure rafa has his eye on that.

If we are going to sign english players then 100m wouldnot be enough

Simao is a good player yes light but he done well when he played us and manu, he can do things no other player can bit like luis but he dont give the ball away as much? i really dont know he's better that we have already so ye! plus he was player of the year 2006-7 not nani or qusmimra(spelling)
