KaKa Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 His agent saying he is now in talks with one English club that is not Everton this a day after saying he was going to Benfica could well be the agent using us to get Benfica to offer more Maybe ... or maybe we have stepped up our interest after the agent used Benfica to get us to firm up our offer.

KaKa Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Think about it ... with all the speculation in the past few days Oliver didn't even comment on it today. Aimar is nailed on to sign very soon. Oliver has either been warned after the Modric incident or given false information and so he went with the Insua "smokescreen". Is it a coincidence that Insua is Argentinian? I think not. You can just see it now ... Oliver: "Come on Kev who are we signing next?" Keegan: "The Argentinian who Rafa is familiar with" Oliver: "Can't be Mascherano ... must be Insua!" Keegan: "Yup. You go with that." Oliver: "Cheers Messiah" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't even know that. I genuinely thought it was really weird that Oliver had nothing to say about the Aimar link today as he will usually comment on any link he can get his grubby mitts on.

Real Zaragoza president Eduardo Bandres said on Monday that they won let Aimar go unless transfer conditions are clear; in addition, they remembered they also received offers from English, Greek teams for the Argentine midfielder.
