The Alfredo Morelos transfer moonbeam has been launched today by the Daily Record.
Last January’s mystery offer from a mystery Chinese club for the Colombian striker provided internet bampots with plenty of material as every aspect of the deal was taken apart. One BBC reporter eventually looked into the authenticity of the rumour, revealed that it was a moonbeam and then was forced into a humiliating denial.
Sevco’s annual accounts predicted a £4m shortfall for the year with those projections based on selling certain players and without the £100,000/week wages commitment required for Jermain Defoe and Steve Davis.
With Dave King forced to come up with £19m to satisfy the Court of Session this month the South African based criminal won’t be pumping in any of his money into the toxic club.
An £8m transfer fee from Nice would be very welcome for the hot-headed striker who somehow avoided his fourth red card of the season in the December Glasgow derby.
Mario Balotelli is about to be sold by Nice, with Marseilles apparently favourites to sign the controversial Italian creating the apparent interest in Morelos.
Steven Gerrard spent most of December warning that his only worthwhile striker wouldn’t be sold despite no real interest in the 22-year-old.
Today’s moonbeam will allow Gerrard to warn Nice off from making an offer at today’s Murray Park media conference, a warning that the French club will happily accept.
