You've all no doubt heard that Laudrup is stewing over meeting the release clause for Iago Aspas, thought to be 10 million euros. You all must be thinking, why gamble 8 million quid on a player with half a decent season at the top level?
Because he is outstanding.
I have watched Celta Vigo games this season, partly due to the hype Aspas has created and he has, almost single handedly, kept them alive. Selling him now would spell almost inevitable relegation.
Not only is he comfortable on the ball, he makes himself a nightmare for defenders by not keeping to any structured position. Most of the time he will pick the ball up anywhere in the final third, making him impossible to mark. He operates as a hybrid of a No 9 and a No 10.
Not only has he got the attributes of a striker but he can create goals as well as finish his own chances. He tends to play the right pass consistently, and has the vision to dictate play while spearheading the attack. Him and Michu could be interchangeable swapping attacking mid and forward roles during the match.
The lad seems to have a decent work ethic, and will press for virtually the whole game. He has performed with fairly poor service at Celta, and I personally think he would set the Premier League alight. He is undoubted quality and if we sign him, we have another world class player in our ranks. Come on Huw, you know what to do.
End of rave review hahaha
