Generally agree, but a certain caliber of player will naturally produce smoke because they're being watched (and touted) much more than others. When Brands moves the target up, there will be more smoke than previously, even if less than with other clubs.
That said, I have no idea if Neres is a realistic target, but I will definitely be getting my hopes up so they can be smashed to bits in about 6 weeks time. That's the lot I've been given in life.
I can't believe you've finally responded to one of my posts without the use of Papes.
A proud day.
