Never met him but he sounds like a cutie. Skinhead with a sperm count of around 900 trillion. Mmmmm.
Ewwww.
Liverpool target Iago Aspas could have to fork out up to £4million to seal Anfield deal
The Celta Vigo livewire will have to settle a dispute with his own dosh if his move is to ever be rubber-stamped. Spanish forward Iago Aspas will have to pay up to £4million out of his own pocket if he is to finally secure his dream move to Liverpool.
The Celta Vigo man's drawn-out transfer to the Reds has been blocked for now by Spanish authoritiesover some contractual wrangling, and information seen by MirrorSport would mean that the 25-year-old needs to pay out millions to agents in order to secure an Anfield transfer.
Aspas' agents on Tuesday made an official complaint to the Spanish Olympic Committee (the approved body to deal with agent disputes in Spain) and to resolve it, the striker is likely to have to fork out £3-4million.
That amount stacks up from the debt already owed by the player to his representatives, plus 5% of his gross contract at Celta AND Spanish IVA tax (21%) on top of that. Then there is 5% of the contract Aspas renewed with the Galician club last summer until 2017 (plus IVA) and 5% of the proposed Liverpool contract, not forgetting tax.
The dispute stems from Aspas enlisting a third party of agents to negotiate him a move while already under contract to the Aimsport Management Group.
The forward insists he's not being signed as a replacement for Luis Suarez, who has been told this week to stop flirting with Real Madrid and to ask for a transfer if he wants to leave the club.

why did he need to get a "third party of agents' involved ? could his own not do it ?
Wow. I thought this was done, was confused by the increasing thread size. So in short, Ayre negotiated the transfer with some random uninterested party.
Just wow. No wonder Suarez is hesitant about putting in a transfer request, the poor bastard could end up at LA Galaxy instead.

We can do better anyway.
No, Ayre negotiated with who Aspas nominated as his rep.
I'd like to sign him, he'll replace Downing in my book.
So in other words Aspas and Ayre are dumb and dumber. I'm not reassured by this.
I'm not sure about that now. I think he'll be an alternative to Sturridge up front. Downing won't get replaced, he'll just.be made redundant with a gap left in that area of the pitch. No big loss though.
Ayre didn't do anything wrong for me. Aspas is probably just being cheap/ financially prudent - he's clearly getting a better deal from the new agent
Because he showed the clubs hand to some random cunt who was not authorized to negotiate the deal. But he will nonetheless tell Aspas all about Ayre, such that when he comes to the real negotiation it will be more like a sexual assault. That is pretty dumb of Ayre.
I know this doesn't mean anything but why is this website listing the Aspas deal as done?

Surely there's 2 components to a transfer - a deal with the selling club & a deal with the player for terms.
The second part can't happen, in theory, without the first part.
So, given that he's had a medical, we can assume the first part was conducted to the satisfaction of the selling club.
This seems to be more about a contractual wrangle between the players old agents - who he allegedly owes money to and his new agents who negotiated his terms of his deal with LFC.
It sounds like it's got fuck all to do with us.

Iago Aspas: From Celta to Liverpool
June 15, 2013 Special Features 1
Iago Aspas was one of the revelations in the last season of the Spanish League. The star of Celta Vigo is not the typical striker compared to past Liverpool forwards like Fernando Torres or Fernando Morientes and present ace, Luis Suarez. Outside, Aspas is a quiet and shy man, but his personality changes in the field.
He lives for and by football and his job makes him happy. Aspas has a winning character and always wants the victory. He is a hyperactive player on the field and a nightmare for the defenders due to his style of playing. The other teams can’t trust his physical appearance because Iago Aspas is a player who likes tackling and dribbling past defenders. Fear doesn’t exist in his vocabulary.
He was born in Moana, a seaside village near Vigo. In his family, there are two more professional players – his old brother, Jonathan Aspas (Alki Larnaca) who now works as his agent and his cousin Aitor Aspas (Guijuelo). Aspas has always played in Celta and like myself and the majority of vigueses, he has been a supporter since he was born.
His first match in Celta’s Balaídos was in June 2009. Celta Vigo had to win Alavés to avoid relegation. With Celta badly needing to score, Aspas came on as a substitute in the second half. Surprisingly, the young player scored two goals in the last ten minutes, Celta won 2-1 and continued in Segunda División. Aspas became an idol for the fans since that day.
In the 2011-12 season, he emerged as a star. Manager Paco Herrera opted to use Aspas as a forward and in this position, he discovered he was a goal scorer – a leftfooted who shoots equally well with his right foot. In addition, he has a good penalty shot. His ability was recognized as he was named Best National Scorer in Segunda División with 23 goals and Best Forward in that league. He was the leader of the rise of Celta to Primera División. At the age of 25, Iago Aspas debuted in La Liga and showed his quality from the first match.
Aspas finished the Liga 2012-13 with 12 goals and 8 assists in 34 games. He was the best player for Celta and he was the architect of the permanence. However, his strong character played a dirty trick on him. In an important match against Deportivo, the eternal rival of Celta Vigo, Aspas head-butted Marchena and saw a straight red card. The forward received a four-match ban, as a consequence. Sometimes Aspas can’t control his impulses… and that is his greatest fault. He protests most of the referee’s decisions, even though he isn’t a violent player.
Tactically, Aspas is accustomed to play in a 4-2-3-1 system. For this reason, I think he will adapt quickly to the Liverpool style of play. I expect Aspas to have a good understanding with Coutinho because both have a lot of quality and love attacking football. He can play as the lone stricker or with another forward similar to him. I also think he would be the ideal partner for Luis Suárez up front. Both are fast, clever and can score.
From my point of view, Iago Aspas will win at Liverpool as Michu did in his first year at Swansea. My only doubt is if he can adapt to English customs because he is a man who loves his Galician origins. Aspas barely knows English and he will need the support of the Spanish players. With Aspas keen on showing his quality on a whole new stage, Celta fans will support Liverpool because we want our hero to succeed in England.

I hope his English is good though.
Sounds like a crappier version of Suarez to me.
Ever the optimist.
