Very highly-rated in Spain, and has other suitors from abroad and in England - notably Newcastle. He's a forward who plays across the front line and turned 22 just last month. From that article, they list his traits as being fast and having a high intensity/work-rate. Edited 12 June, 2015 by Saint-Armstrong
angelman Posted 12 June, 2015 Posted 12 June, 2015 Is every player that we are being linked with also being linked with Newcastle and West Ham (and vice versa)?
Sour Mash Posted 12 June, 2015 Posted 12 June, 2015 We've been linked with so many players already, its hard to get excited by any of these stories. Not sure where a player like that would fit in to our first choice XI if everyone was fit, but would be an obvious good addition to the squad.

Sour Mash Posted 12 June, 2015 Posted 12 June, 2015 Looks like a "No.10" to me who can also play out wide. I always think of a "No.10" as someone who's the main creator for a side, threading through little balls to other attackers etc (know its more than just that). Don't think this bloke has got one assist at all last season.

Redslo Posted 12 June, 2015 Posted 12 June, 2015 (edited) Is every player that we are being linked with also being linked with Newcastle and West Ham (and vice versa)? Makes sense. Our finances are comparable. The level we can reasonably be expected to play at (in the medium term) is comparable. And our need to add players for next season is comparable. Football Manager rates him as a CA 129 PA 161 which amounts to not quite being good enough for the premier league right now but with the potential to be great. The consider him to be fast and agile, but not extraordinarily so, with very good technique. My scouting screen excluded him because his concentration skill was only 11 and I had to draw a line somewhere and I picked 12. FM does not consider him to have good defensive skills at all, but that is normal for a striker in FM. Edited 12 June, 2015 by Redslo
Saint Charlie Posted 12 June, 2015 Posted 12 June, 2015 Anyone good enough to be called up by Spain (as Costa withdrew), is still only 22 and plays regularly in La Liga is worth a look for £5m. Maybe another Ayoze Perez type who did really well for Newcastle.
buctootim Posted 12 June, 2015 Posted 12 June, 2015 (edited) Some sites list him as a wide left player who can also play up front. Edited 12 June, 2015 by buctootim some not most
buctootim Posted 12 June, 2015 Posted 12 June, 2015 better than ellia? Thats what I thought, replacement for him.

But question is, do these other clubs have the much vaunted Black Box?

buctootim Posted 12 June, 2015 Posted 12 June, 2015 Sounds like he is Ramirez Mk2 based on this. Being called up by Spain, or FM stats? hmm
iansums Posted 12 June, 2015 Posted 12 June, 2015 Apologies, but when I say his name it makes me want to sing this.
buctootim Posted 12 June, 2015 Posted 12 June, 2015 Apologies, but when I say his name it makes me want to sing this. or play this
doggface Posted 12 June, 2015 Posted 12 June, 2015 Looks an exciting prospect. Not the finished article but looks a real talent that needs developing. Getting a full call up could be a great time to bring him in before price rockets. We lack decent forward options.
shirleysfc Posted 12 June, 2015 Posted 12 June, 2015 How long until Alpine starts calling him Juan-ky... just another Carlos kick-a-ball...
VectisSaint Posted 12 June, 2015 Posted 12 June, 2015 Being called up by Spain, or FM stats? hmm Given what I quoted I think that's pretty obvious. I didn't quote the Spain part. Spain and Uruguay are continents apart, just like you and me.
Graffito Posted 12 June, 2015 Posted 12 June, 2015 That report suggests that the signing is likely to happen soon as long as we pay the full price and no other club comes in with a better offer.
the saint in winchester Posted 12 June, 2015 Posted 12 June, 2015 Looks like a "No.10" to me who can also play out wide. Like Mane??
Window Cleaner Posted 12 June, 2015 Posted 12 June, 2015 Do the English really understand the Number 10 role ? Think Zidane,Platini,Baggio,Cantona, Hoddle at a push. Players of exceptional talent and vision who dictate the way games are played, it's not speedy wide men who like to drift inside, there you're thinking 9 and a half..

Plastic Posted 12 June, 2015 Posted 12 June, 2015 Sometimes....dual national me. Certainly don't live in England, haven't done for over 30 years. Yes I know you live in France. Not sure that comprehension of the no.10 role is defined by nationality though. Perhaps experience.
Window Cleaner Posted 12 June, 2015 Posted 12 June, 2015 Yes I know you live in France. Not sure that comprehension of the no.10 role is defined by nationality though. Perhaps experience. Let's just say that you see it far more often outside of UK football, it is not an English notion and UK football does not produce them..

Plastic Posted 12 June, 2015 Posted 12 June, 2015 Let's just say that you see it far more often outside of UK football, it is not an English notion and UK football does not produce them.. True that not many English teams use or fill the role well. Probably because midfielders aren't given as much time on the ball as their European counterparts.

mulletsaint Posted 12 June, 2015 Posted 12 June, 2015 (edited) Who? Obscure to say the least, not many would know how that song goes. The Northam would struggle. I'd imagine almost anyone who likes alternative music would know that song. Was also used by Baz Luhrmann for the Romeo & Juliet soundtrack back in the 90s. However, it was meant in jest, I'm aware we'll be stuck with generic pap for any new player that comes in. Edited 12 June, 2015 by mulletsaint

The9 Posted 12 June, 2015 Posted 12 June, 2015 Who? Obscure to say the least, not many would know how that song goes. The Northam would struggle. It's not obscure enough that this 42 year old doesn't know the words to it. Though it does help if you know it's "You and Me Song"... Still, it's no "The animals went in two by two".
cellone Posted 12 June, 2015 Posted 12 June, 2015 No idea what Football Manager does or how relevant it is to the real world. Is it relevant? But question is, do these other clubs have the much vaunted Black Box? Black Box = Football manager

Still, it's no "The animals went in two by two". But do you know the tune? Difficult to get a song going unless the tune is known. Anyway its only meant in jest. Need to stick to mainstream if the Northam.are going to latxh on to anything.
