The cheap spread made this an easier one than normal to instant sell for me. If he goes to Turkey or Argentina he is unlikely to come back to Europe so he'll be worthless.

Last time the dip cancelled out my bonus but the increase in my portfolio value in the build up more than made up for it.

I think any decent team would get a good full season out of him. He could add some experience to a younger squad e.g utd next season. Also a whole host of options in Italy. Serie A does tend to be quite kind to older defenders.

He says he wants to continue at the top level and that he's a fine wine. the fact he is still first choice for Brazil backs this up despite his age. Essentially PSG offered 1 year and he wants 2. I think this rules out a China or Qatar etc as they clearly don't match his wish to play at the top level still.

He is a strong performance player so his price should go up in a PB league. I own 300.

Anyone who bought 3-4 months ago must be sitting on hell of a loss. I think talk of dropping to £5 is wrong though when you consider other players across the index are closing the gap to the top few. Once that gap closes top players may see some buying action. That said I'm glad I don't hold at the moment- his 3 month graph is not a great picture.

I think both Alcantara and Kroos will come back into people's mind over the next month or so and jump up in price as a result.

I also would consider Di Maria at PSG as being another possible option. Even with 12 goals and 11 assists in Ligue 1 last season, he is Less of a PB threat but certain to be looked at at the start of the season as a cheap option at a big team (that always wins!) for In play dividends. If you look at his graph he is a good 20p below where he started last season and I think he'll see some more buying action as the new season approaches. (Currently 62p)

@MJDubya

He seems likely to go up long term due to age, position, likely move to a bigger club at some point etc.

He could also get a good rise if he does something noticeable in the Copa America. I'd say there's still money to be made on him.

Alcantara is a pretty safe bet for a stable hold. Only just over £2 now compared to £2.50 during the season. Very good for PB and always plays.

I'm also holding a lot of Alsanne Plea as I think he has a lot of potential over the next couple of years. He is less than £1 and just starting to get in and around the French national team.

I was 65p in the green still after instant sell so I sold simply to take some tidy profits and not be too greedy. With Utd seemingly out of the race, it was just getting riskier than I'd like.

Thauvin just shot up about 9p in 5 minutes. I wondered why!
