Rip Van Winkle

From the BBC

Andy Brassell
European football expert "He's been very good over the last couple of years.

"Sporting have hit hard times and have to sell him but he's kept his end up pretty well, given that he's been in a really struggling team.

"He's really built up the physical side of his game and is a very good finisher.

"Sporting only own 35% of him. The Portuguese media say the deal was done on Wednesday for 10m euros (?8.5m). They need the money to pay the wages.

"The idea is Norwich pay now and get a bit of a bargain, because his buy-out clause is about 22m euros (?18.7m)."
