He would be great for you - inject a bit of much needed pace and directness into the team. £40m is pricey (esp given his age) but it's hard to think of anyone else who is:
a) Potentially available
b) Willing to go to a club w/o CL
c) Of that quality, with that kind of experience.
Watching him at the WC, he looks to be in the (fitness-wise) form of his life and he has more to his game than just pace (like Ribery - who is basically shot now at 31).
I think that you just have to be realistic - you are going to have to pay silly money to get top quality players to even think about it.
Bit like being a Spurs fan, but without the United factor.. or Van Gaal.
