If our targets have chosen other options than to hell with them, who cares. I would much prefer a player wanting to play for us than forced to play for us.
Silva doesnt get me too excited as I dont want to upset the Nani and Valencia project on our wings, a more centrally minded player would be a lot better in my opinion examples being Modric or possibly Joe Cole, read today about closing in on Suarez from Ajax seems a good signing but of course for every Nistelrooy theres a Kuyt or Huntelaar.
