That is what edges me towards this deal. Payet's best years are going to be similar so strike now, I guess.
And he is not supposed to be on that massive a wage so if we save 15m and some wages as compared to a younger signing who has scored a similar number of goals, might be worth it.
Still prefer someone younger, but can see a logic to it and would not be displeased at all.

You also forgot to mention that he could get a career ending injury during his first training session with us.
Thought I'd also point out that potential downside, for anyone that apparently can't think for themselves.....

I agree with the potential upsides. Just stating the potential downsides for those who seem to be unsure.

If a £20m striker gets a club of our size in the Champsies, I'd say thats good value for money?

What does your Baseyian probability method tell you Bacca is 'worth'???

Who cares if he's scores a load of goals for us during that time, eh Alex?
It's all about the RESALE value of him.

The likelihood is we'd get next to nothing for him in 2 years time (or be stuck with him for the duration of his contract), and that he'd begin to be on the decline as a player at some point in the next year or two if not already. That's the potential downside, and it's a considerable one.

He's Payet's age, 2 years younger than Ronaldo and 5/6 than Ibrahimovic.
Top players are so fit now that at 28-32 it's the pinnacle. The fact he's goals have improved the older he has got suggest this with him too.

He's only been at AC for one season, but he's very much a fan favourite there (source: Italian bloke at work).
Scored a load of goals for Saville when they won the UEFA cup twice in a row, and scored a load of goals wherever he's been.
I think he's very much worth the risk.

Too old? Do you think that of Payet also? They're the same age.

Disagree with the age thing and how much he's worth.
We'll more than likely be looking for another top striker in 2 years anyway so get two good seasons minimum out of a striker who knows where the back of the net is.
Sign him up, Slav.

Too old. Especially at the figure being quoted.
