Today’s linked player . Striker from Spain . https://www.relevo.com/futbol/merca...nua-pesca-espana-lanza-20240709135503-nt.html “Been linked with Atletico Madrid striker Carlos Martin (Spain u21) by Spanish media. Spent last season at Mirandes who survived relegation in the Spanish second division. Scored 15 goals. Also has a fantastic record for their B Team.”
Am a bit suspicious of Spanish players these days, all a bit 'Geijo-hum' - they rarely live up to the wraps they come with. But I suppose he could be the next Deulofeu...
He's signed a five year contract with Athletico, so unless it's a loan .. Whoops - just noticed you had already mentioned that...
At 21 I guess he has youth on his side - scored a goal every two games last season, but not for Luton - was on loan all season at Colchester and Lincoln. Unless we're planning to offload Bayo, Rajovic or Forde I can't see why we'd be signing him.
Another ex player in their 30s? https://x.com/thewatfordway/status/1811835964320256158 Not sure we need another attacking midfielder type . More an out and out striker
I don't remember him being particularly outstanding during his loan spells - but I guess he may have improved over the years. Would rather have the Luton guy to be honest
My father now lives in Lincoln, well deeper into the fens, and he goes to see Lincoln now and again as it is far for the old boy to get to Watford and beyond. He grew up in Bushey. Anyways, he says he is not that good. However, he scored a hatrick against Bristol Rovers, which was when we went to see Birmingham v Watford and he couldn't believe it and was in fact annoyed he'd missed it. Talk about changing colours.
Anyway Andrew French seems to suggest otherwise . https://x.com/androofrench/status/1811858846945804795

Don’t know how true or reliable this is but hopefully if there is a bid we will say no thanks . https://x.com/WD18Fans/status/1813683717170467250
He's only got 12 months left on his contract I think, with no word of an extension offer that I'm aware of - so perhaps the club are willing to sell? Silly if they do though... Or, as stated, Trabzonspor have contacted him - and we know nothing about it.
