Navas won't be going anywhere.

Pazzo is being lined up by Juventus.

Hasn't Navas got issues regards homesickness and anxiety? He's been linked with moves for years but constantly scuppered them because of an inability to leave Sevilla.

He's started to overcome it already (he may be in Spain's WC squad I think)>

But, how can we spend so much money when we have NONE! 🙂 We're not getting any of those players.

He's nailed on then !

His anxiety first panic attack will kick in around late August.

 

[keniget]

Navas wouldn't last a month in the Premiership. No thanks.

 

[ibromurph]

Yep.

Also, for a boy who gets homesick, imagine what he'd feel like stuck in a tower, looking through the window and catching glances with Insua.

 

[StevieM]

Yep... I can see us signing Carlton Cole as Torres' replacement.

With maybe Darrent Bent thrown in for good measure.

A lightweight AND homesick winger, another suspicious Italian and Carlton fucking Cole

Being in a squad full of Spanish players which knows it's going home in a month or so anyway won't be that hard even for Navas, Wizzy. I wouldn't touch him with a bargepole. If he comes to England to join just about anybody he'll be another Reyes waiting to happen.

I heard a rumour about Pazzini the other day actually.

Can we not be linked with someone boss, like "Liverpool look set to weigh in with £20M bid for unsettled Higuain" or something?
