 * Symbol confirmed.svg Would suggest ALT1 with a few small changes (see below). New GA, long enough, within policy. Cited in-line to Guardian article.  Sounder Bruce  06:39, 30 November 2016 (UTC)
 * ALT2 ... that the €11 million spent by AS Monaco FC in 2012 to sign Lucas Ocampos was the most ever for a Ligue 2 player?
 * ALT2a ... that the €11 million reported to have been spent by AS Monaco FC in 2012 to sign Lucas Ocampos, was the most ever for a Ligue 2 player?


 * Hi Bruce, thank you for the above. If possible, would you mind putting it in the queue for me? I haven't figured out how the process works yet. Thank you, Liam E. Bekker (talk) 08:04, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, I cannot move this hook into queue. Another user will do so at a later time.  Sounder Bruce  23:13, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
 * The article states that the transfer fee was 11 million euros but one of the sources gives 15 million. This discrepancy will have to be dealt with before this nomination can proceed. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:26, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi, thank you for the message. I don't see the reference to 15m? The articles for both ref 8 and 9 indicate 11m. Liam E. Bekker (talk) 07:34, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
 * It's reference 7. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:37, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi, found the problem. Removed the Goal.com article which reported an incorrect amount. Three sources, including the Guardian, cite the value to be 11m which is accurate. Liam E. Bekker (talk) 07:42, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
 * The word "reported" is used in the article and I have added it to give alternative hooks. This means the hooks are still accurate even when another source has mentioned a different figure. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:33, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi, I'm happy with that. Thank you. Liam E. Bekker (talk) 12:16, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
