Iago Aspas

Sky now reporting that Chelsea fancy the lad and considering a 8.5m bid.

 

I don't think we'll be going for him at the price ,if we were then the deal would have been struck by now imo.

 

I reckon Chelsea are in for him riding on the back of Michael Laudrup's judgement. I would have thought that they were well off for strikers but they can afford £8.5 million just to see how he goes. We would struggle to find the transfer fee and certainly couldn't compete with Chelsea on wages. All we could offer is almost guaranteed first team football. Chelsea can afford to bench that sort of money. We can't.

 

Aspas won,t move during this January transfer window, probably in summer but not now. He has grown and played all his life in Celta Vigo and with his team fighting in battle relegation It´s very difficult to get him unless We make an extraordinary bid or payment his clause and player would agree.

In any case, I think He would prefer to go Swansea than Chelsea because He´s still young and needs to play, not warming bench

One last thing: Aspas is not a usual striker. His definition is good but not like most of powerful forwards. He plays as a permanent moving striker, trying to find spaces for him and creating for his mates, keeping and passing ball when He´s on a flank or at the midfield.

For me He is top class. He is able to dribbling in very little and make long diagonal like Messi save the distance of course

 

That's exactly what we need a Messy Jack

 

Reading in for him for an immediate move

 

Guys No one has any idea where he is going valencia appear to be the forth club to win the race to sign him. His agent is punting him around and papers desperate for stories.

Agent is probably trying to get a bidding war, best deal etc

 

He has signed.....but not for any British club.....forget him now and move on to someone else....should have gone in early...

 

Dai, who has he signed for? Just curious.

Either way, I agree we need to move on to someone else, and probably will.

 

i think its Valencia....not sure as i tuned in just as it was announced on talksport earlier £8.5 million

 

We were in early but he wasn't in our price range

 

£8.5 is well in our price range today and thats cheap for a quality player like him. what swayed it was a garenteed 5 1/2 year contract..

 

The deal is not done with Valencia. They don't have the money to sign him and his brother (also his agent) has denied any knowledge of this deal. Paper talk again, we still have a chance to get in there.

 

Well any long term deal will be a worry when our manager only has 18 months left on his own deal !!
