I could talk myself into Ibanez, Abreu and maybe Hermida but I'm thinking the price we would have to pay just wouldn't be worth.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Well, we can't afford to pay more than 10 million per anyway I'd think. I think Abreu gets more than that though. I'd guess Ibanez is 2 years, 20 million and he'll be well worth it. I know we'd at least like either of them more than Alf and the 16 million hes making next year, followed by 18 million each of the 5 years after.

Ibanez was making $5.5m per year the last two seasons. I think you've vastly overrated what he's going to fetch in FA.

Yea, I probably am. However, until we know what direction the FA Market is going this off season I just see the limited number of viable options available and I think the guys we are after are gonna get big money from someone.
