A move that surprised me, there were reports that Augsburg’s bid for Tajon Buchanan was in the 3-4 Mill range. Pepi is garnering 20 Mill.

As far as quality, is there that much of a difference between the two? I know Pepi is about 4years younger. i am surpised he opted for a club that is currently in the relagation zone.
