TaylorJ_01 Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Never heard of the fella but it's made my day turned from s**** to average. Remember the World Cup? I can barely remember yesterday man He was the midfielder for Uruguay. Was very impressed by him at the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 I love the fact that we're actually being linked with players like Arevalo/HBA... Was expecting nothing of the sort after reading that press-release earlier in the summer... Having said that, I don't think there's much in this one, probably just random name-out-of-a-hat shenanigans from the Uruguayan press. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Haris Vuckic Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 As if the Uruguayan press care about linking people to us man. he will sign, probably on Tuesday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Doubt there'll be much in this. We've already got Barton, Guthrie, Gosling and Smith as options in CM, potentially Nolan as well (though I suspect he'll be mostly used in a more advanced role). Would be nice if we could get him in and maybe ship out Smith though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be nice if we could get him in and maybe ship out Smith though. In theory we haven't got a DM though, as much as Smith would like to think he is, Butt hasn't been replaced so far. Hughton said we were watching someone in the world cup didn't he? So there is a chance it could be Arevalo. Been linked with Mancienne on loan and reported bid on Cheick too, which make it look like we have a defensive midfielder in mind. Call me crazy but I think I would prefer Mancienne if we could get a decent deal. Seems like a safer bet and was in good form for Wolves last season. Not really going to complain about either though.

Optimistic Nut Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Like a few have said, seems like this Peruvian bloke playing games. http://www.larepublica.com.uy/deportes/420259-arevalo-y-dario-sin-contrato-y-al-margen "Hours go by, and nothing has happened in terms of the promises made to Egidio Arevalo Rios. The strongest link was announced by Pablo Bentancur from Newcastle in England. He was in charge of the sums involved, but there was never an official statement. They began to doubt the validity of this offer, and felt they could treat it as a "Peruvian prank", for his rivalry with Rabajda and Chijane."

If I'm reading right, does he say we've asked for 24hours to see if a potential player from Ivory Coast will be available first? Looks like it.

Optimistic Nut Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 "Yesterday I travelled to England to speak with their management, and they told me they wanted 24 hours to think about it. Two weeks ago it all seemed done and dusted. Time in football goes by very quickly, we were asked to wait until after the Uruguay match, and now we are waiting. We had already made an agreement but time will tell. They are definitely keen but they also have their eyes on another player from the Ivory Coast. Fortunately, they remain interested, but they have asked for a day to think about the other player first." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Sweet! Looks like the club are after some legs for the midfield regardless, and that would be a beautiful thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I know this whole thing seems bollocks, but seems a bit mad that he'd mention that we're looking at an Ivory Coast player. Pretty random to just pluck out of thin air. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 That last quote has pretty much sold me on this rumour. Particularly as we were indeed linked with Tiote Cheick just the other day. Looks a lot more promising now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Heneage Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 still don't buy it Thinking back to the proposed deal to Cagilari I don't remember nearly as many quotes coming from the agent. Which could be naivety on my part, but I'd think if he was just trying to engineer a move, he'd have not mentioned it us as consistently as he has.
