Optimistic Nut Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 But he'll only stay if he's got £70-100m to spend! Think it's clear that as long as we spend what we have then he'll be happy, or at least accepting of it. Next summer though I have no doubt he'll be expecting us to be in that £15-25m market and paying £100k plus wages that West Ham, Leicester, even Bournemouth are playing in.

LRD Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 So with this and Manquillo, that's two former U-21 Spanish internationals that didn't quite get there after being highly rated. I guess there's worse transfer strategies. Could have been three Spain U21 with Sandro Ramirez. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 To think Colback was just one injury away from becoming an England international... Think my levels of schadenfreude peaked when that injury was announced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roids Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 It's been reported he's coming because of Rafa. Yeah, I think we've punched above our weight here. Nice to see. He's a Spanish U-21 who's done the grand sum of fuck all in his career, we haven't fallen off that bad Christ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoke at home. Cabaye scored the free kick and Taylor celebrated by laughing in Begovic's face. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stal Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Probably a post for the questions thread, but how long does a medical take? Genuine question, not a whinge about us dragging our feet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbo Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 The medical was yesterday, or at least part of it. Most of the time we take ages it's because we're putting together all the media/interviews etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collage Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 The hero that no one needs. Remember an article where he talked about his mackem hatred ahead of the derby and was like "I hate them.

He's a Spanish U-21 who's done the grand sum of fuck all in his career, we haven't fallen off that bad Christ! Give the guy a chance, he's only just turned 21. He's won Under 21 caps for Spain and secured a move to a club the size of Dortmund. That's not fuck all for a young player. This lad could easily turn out to be our best player.

I don't disagree with any of that but similarly we aren't punching above our weight, that's been my only point of contention. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 This guy looks nothing like Colback going off that video, he actually looks decent. Well he can carry the ball and go past players, that's a massive upgrade just there. Goes for the return pass as well which Colback would never dream of. I suppose the only question mark would be how he will hold up to the pace of English football and getting clattered a few times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafa wouldn't be signing him if he thought the physicality was an issue. He knows the Premier League too well to take that sort of risk. It might take him a while to adjust but he's a big enough lad, I doubt he'll be phased. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the video doesn't really show him doing much of the physical stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Merino is a defensive midfielder with lots of engine - he just happens to not treat the ball like a hot potato. He seems a very Benítez player to me in that regard, but don't expect him to be a creative force. I'd expect him to be a Colback upgrade, provided he's successful in the league.
