Either they've left it dangerously late to start negotiating or there's some weapons grade media bollocks flying about. Possible, also possible these teams are stringing them along to get 50-70M.

Trensa Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 It is a meme tweet but this is DC talking after the game last night. -Diego, Do you stay in Sevilla this window (winter)? -I'll be here for a long time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen another translation where it's translated as "I have a lot of time left here". If it's more along the lines of this it could be a reference to the time left on his contract. Either way, him playing yesterday hardly screams a deal is close as has been reported media wide. Their assistant manager also said he expects him to stay for the remainder of the season.

Dandy Man Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Pretty hard to spin that small snippet any other way than he is not leaving, he is literally saying "I will stay here a long time" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Got to say, although I would like this guy in as an alternative to any players we have now, I do have a feeling (just based on the little highlights I have seen) that we could do a lot better with the money and that he would struggle to adjust to this league.

Don't say it too loudly because people don't like it but it doesn't reflect well on the ownership. Spent 3 weeks chasing Botman and Carlos and didn't get close to signing either. It'll be interesting to see where they go from here in their search for a new CB. Caveat - I like the new ownership, their communication is good, we've made 2 decent signings so far and they will clearly do everything in their power to turn us in to a club competing for trophies. I'm just not oblivious to the fact they've made a mess of their attempts (so far) to recruit new players in a key position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 What a shit show. Not bothered about losing out on good players but I will be annoyed if we don't have other negotiations running concurrently. Surely, at this stage, 25m on Tarkowski would be a smart move? Burnley couldn't turn that down and we would instantly improve. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I was going to say that based on me very bog standard Spanish that his quote isn't that damning, but the Tweet about the club considering pulling out doesn't sound very good at all.

Novocastrian Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 We need to forget about pulling £40/50m CBs out of CL clubs in this window. Surely there is obtainable players that would improve us for a lot less. Leave the long pursuits until the summer and we know which league we are in.

Bada Bing Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 We are shopping in the wrong market for the position we're in to be honest, making this window unnecessarily difficult and protracted. Can't fault the ambition but we need upgrades on the likes of Lascelles, Clark, Shelvey and Ritchie which doesn't require £40m champions league level players. Still think we'll get 3 - 4 players in though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Going to be a fascinating but probably mind-numbing 10 days. Feels like we've had a couple of really public pursuits which have very clearly broken down because of money; perhaps that was part of the intention... I guess we're really going to see what the consortium are made of over the next 10 days. This is the time where both buyers & sellers get jumpier and deals get done - I think we're going to end up spending but I'm not sure about the quality.

toon25 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I know it's been said before, but picking up some of the best talent in the Champo wouldn't be a bad idea. Brereton, Djed Spence, the Bournemouth lad, Ilias Chair, Cavaleiro, etc would all be decent buys. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Still think it might go through personally, just depends if we are prepared to wait until the end of the window. Sevilla were talking about needing to sign a replacement first so they are willing to do a deal, but it's not happening until they get someone in.
