Still rather Soares for 30m.
Itd be difficult to call:
Zaha - prem proven but he would need to hit the ground running many of the same attributes as Pepe and similar numbers. Well drilled defensively, works hard and will put in a shift. 20m cheaper.
Pepe - 3 years younger so more time to improve and develop with us. Puts in a shift same as zaha and offers the explosive play we need. 20m more expensive, which will hinder us in future windows as it's a 20m debt every year for the next 5 years apparently.
Soares - magician with the ball, one of Brazil's brightest young talents. Left sided, comfortable on both flanks and 2 footed. owned by 4 different parties so a deal would likely be extremely difficult to complete this window (we agreed to pay for Gremios portion but not the other owners).
