royalstu Appears to have agreed terms with Valencia for €10m.


Ed Malyon ‏@eaamalyon
Just talked to someone who definitely knows. Reports in Spain of Valencia offering clause fee for CFC and SCFC target Iago Aspas NOT true.

Hope this guy is right! He is convinced its not true according to his sources and works for the Daily Mirror.


Why care at all? You can't seriously think this lad, "the next David Villa" is coming to Reading?

That would be the Daily Mirror that has gone with about 7000+ transfer rumours over the last few years and has got less than a quarter of them right? Ooo goody.

Guillem Balague is more reliable though and seems to back this up.

We've got to do something big one day.

Another fan that see's a transfer fee as the only sign of ambition. What about signing someone on a free, coughing up around 2m in signing on fee, seven figures for the agent fee, then around 55k a week wages? That's the deal I've heard Pogrebnyak is on, plus extras (doesn't make it true of course), and Ady Williams is certain it's 60k. That's £6m this season alone. But maybe we'll do something 'big' one day.

Show me the numbers to prove he's more reliable - how many rumours has he tweeted, how many actually happened.

I think the Pog has done well. Could have probably scored more
If we could supply him more. He feeds off the scraps we create (lol)
Ie set plays and occasional cross.

Please sign another quick winger and creative cm.

Calm down pumpkin. I'm satisfied with the level of ambition the club has shown and have been for a number of years. I was referring to us doing something big in terms of transfer fees and we will eventually, but I don't see that as a sign of ambition.

paco Herrera: "Iago Aspas Dizzy with offers"

J. CONDE - VIGO continued reports of alleged deals Iago Aspas are altering the environment in Celtia, who yesterday began preparing for Saturday's match against Malaga, before opening a second round of the league championship in which at least requires winning eight of the nineteen remaining games to make sure you stay in the top flight. The uproar that has arisen around the striker complained yesterday Moaña Paco Herrera, who reiterated that the club will only leave the player in January if someone deposits 10 million euros plus taxes, which are stipulated as cancellation clause contract that binds him to the team until June 2017 Vigo. So far, no one has come up with the money. Both the club and the player's environment only insist that Reading has made a formal bid for Celtia striker.

"Aspas is dizzy with so many potential deals," proclaims Herrera recalling the intense week footballer lived as the team was preparing to play against Real Madrid and Espanyol due to the incessant rumors of contracts worth millions to leave Celtia. The technician lamentations occurred a few hours before social networks beginning on or blow smoke with information from a radio station ensuring that Valencia had reached an agreement with Celta to take blades after the season.

The confusion over who represents the player does not help to stop the tide of rumors. Two footballers agencies dispute the representativeness of the whole affair Aspas. In fact, his brother Jonathan Aspas went into action in recent days to try to restore order. Yesterday the excéltico, now in Cypriot football (Alki Larnaca), refused the offer of Valencia. So did the club Levante, who did acknowledge be interested in the Celtia, which its technicians continue for some time. Jorge Santomé representing the Aspas brothers, emphasized that only Reading has offered money to Celtiac and the player to take to the Premier League. The English did not reach the ten million that requires the team Vigo, but was willing to pay the player 15 million, four-year average.

For Herrera, the buzz that has been generated on Aspas is "more difficult" for the team Vigo. "We had a whole week of move that does not help us at all. Iago is dizzy with possible offers that are hard to refuse." In fact, Celtia coach doubts samples can count on the player for the remainder of the season, although he believes that the price of the buyout will back many of which now appear as suitors, including Valencia, with a serious financial problem. "Our president is not going to let that happen. Only if someone comes and puts money in the clause. Way nobody can prevent Iago leaves, nor our president or Superman."

Herrera, however, relies on the ability of abstraction Moaña football player and think you can count on him "one hundred percent" although rumors continue to sell.

Recognizes the technical difficulty of giving up as succulent as contracts that have offered Aspas: "If you will put on the table an offer dizzying, that solves life forever, it is very difficult to turn down." And Herrera is prepared to continue the saga Blades two more weeks until the transfer window closing.

Herrera is aware that the loss of blades mean a setback to fight against relegation. "Without Iago would have many difficulties to achieve the goal because we are talking about the revelation of the League, one of three players who are different from the rest. Without it, we will have more difficulties because it is our reference in attack."

Celta coach, however, assumes that the club would acquire another player if any concrete of any offer that arise daily by Iago Blades.

From the club and the player who represent only insist that Reading has submitted a formal offer to the Celta even praised for being less than 10 million termination clause. The rest, they say, is speculation.

So according to this willing to pay him €15m over 4 years, or £60,000 a week.

I also like that Aspas translates as blades........

hypothetically if we were to smash our transfer record. I would prefer it to be on a number 10 than a striker.

We need to be playing a 4-5-1 to keep things tight! You spend 8.3m on someone they have to play and the only way that would work would be in a 4-4-2!

Having said that is going to be someone who could link play or play of the last man?

This. Not quite sure on this one, unless McD is optimistic that Akpan/Corrico/Jem would be able to fight it out themselves for the two CM spots... Admitadley more quality than Tabb and Legs, but surely we would just see the return of our relative defensive frailties?!?

I know very little of him, but I'm sure I've seen that he's equally comfortable as either?

This was wrote in November but he seems decent and highly rated. It also states that he can play as a striker or just behind the striker which is exactly what we need.

The Celta Vigo striker has bagged five goals this season in 11 appearances, a decent return for a club who are currently languishing in 17th place in the Primera Division table, and has already been dubbed as a Celta legend by the club’s fans.

The young man announced himself on the Celta scene with a priceless brace against Alaves in their Segunda Liga clash which eventually helped the former stay in Spain’s second division. Since then, Aspas and Celta have gone from strength to strength, after having avoided relegation; they set their sights on promotion to the Primera Division, which they achieved last season.

During that season, Aspas notched up 23 goals in 34 league appearances, second only to Leonardo Ulloa of Almeria, and setting himself up for some close scrutiny in his first full season in Spain’s top division.

So far, the 25-year-old has shown himself to be more than up for the challenge, starting all 11 of the club’s games so far, the most recent of which coming against Ray Vallecano, where he scored twice in a game the Celestes should have one, surrendering a two goal advantage to lose 3-2. However, the one bright point for the Galician side was Aspas, who took his two goals with a poacher’s instinct.

What we saw with those goals was a striker who could turn into a 20 goal a season player, and if he keeps up his current rate of scoring this season he will indeed become a high scorer for the club.

A very dynamic forward, capable of playing either as the central striker or behind another front man, Aspas’ two goals against Rayo displayed a predator’s instinct of where the net is. He is also a strong header of the ball, with that first ever goal against Alaves coming courtesy of some very clever running off the ball before wrong footing the keeper to head past him. The game winning goal in the same game came from a ball parried by the keeper to put it on a plate for Aspas to tap home. Some may say luck played a huge part, but Aspas created his own luck by drifting away from his marker and getting to the ball before a second defender to send the home crowd into raptures.

As the main front man, Aspas enjoys playing on the shoulder of the last defender, and if any Celta striker is going to be in the right place at the right time, it’s going to be him. He is a real poacher similar in style to Manchester United’s Javier Hernandez, with the raw ability to find the back of the net; he is deadly in and around the penalty area, especially when he has the ball on his lethal left foot.

The question now is whether he will stay on with the struggling Celta side.

Gone are the days when the likes of Claude Makelele and Michel Salgado donned the light blue of the Celestes, and the club no longer look forward to a top six finish as they did regularly a decade ago. In more recent seasons owing to financial problems the club has had to rely more and more on bargain buys and products of the youth academy. Aspas graduated from the club’s academy and has been part of the setup at Balaidos since the age of eight.

So from this point of view, it is easy to think he may remain at the club that nurtured him as a youngster indefinitely, and this is further backed up by the contract extension he signed in the summer which ties him down until 2017.

However, in these days where player power is more influential than ever, Aspas may well be tempted to ply his trade somewhere else if he feels it is the right time to leave. That said, he seems quite intent on staying with the club he’s been with since he was a boy, and if he was to move it would probably have to be to a much bigger club, maybe not a Real Madrid or a Barcelona, but perhaps a Sevilla or a Valencia.

Celta have been known to sell their major talents to big clubs in recent years but they may well be able to hang onto Aspas as his loyalty to the club may prove to be the deciding factor in any potential move.

The prospects of the club may also be a factor in his decision to stay or move, and if the club are relegated they may find it hard to resist a big money bid from a bigger club. However, they may be able to keep hold of him if he decides to remain loyal and reject offers from bigger clubs, much like club record goalscorer Hermidita did, who turned down offers from both Barcelona and Real Madrid back in the 1940s. Aspas certainly has the skill set to surpass Hermidita’s record of 107 goals, now it’s all down to him to decide whether he follows in the great man’s shoes.

Here's some of his goals: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LbREMVEYsI

sounds decent, and there are some very good players in the spanish leagues for bargain prices.



this isnt exactly bargain territory, but would be the statement of intent(money wise) that people are asking for
