Last couple of points on Coates. Don't think he's one for the future, think he'll challenge now for a starting spot & yes he's fast enough.

@oleaasen_lfc yes, he more than enough pace to play in the PL, he's quite fast for a CB.

I believe Coates' 'flaws' are largely correctable, i.e. needs to make better use of his size, be more physical, unproven in Europe etc

Obviously Coates has some developing to do, & some flaws (who doesn't) but main thing is he's athletic, has great size & reads game well.

Assuming the Ovacion report is true, as said yesterday think Coates is a great prospect with a high ceiling, think £7M is a great price.

JenChang88 Jen Chang
@oleaasen_lfc It's definitely £7M for LFC, but Nacional don't get all of it, part of his rights are owned by a third party.

Sebastian Coates has been signed, sealed and delivered to Anfield. For a fee of less than half the price of Phil Jones the Merseysiders have bagged themselves twice the player.

Fucking Hell, the Independent love him!

http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/transfers/historic-sebastian-coates-transfer-a-coup-for-liverpool-2342927.html

Sebastian Coates has been signed, sealed and delivered to Anfield. For a fee of less than half the price of Phil Jones the Merseysiders have bagged themselves twice the player.

Uruguayan heavyweights Nacional received a fax this morning from Liverpool meeting their £7m valuation of the centre-back. The deal concludes a month of intense transfer speculation surrounding the 2011 Copa America Young Player of the Tournament.

Nacional said all along that it would take an “historic” fee to convince them to part ways with the defender who stands just a few blond locks short of six foot six. The fee certainly smashes the previous Uruguayan record of £3.5m to take Nicolás Lodeiro from Nacional to Ajax but still represents a real coup for Liverpool.

On the downside for Nacional they will receive just over half of the cash after selling a portion of Coates’ rights for £100,000 to a third-party investment group while the player was still a trainee.

Liverpool were not the first club to wade in with a concrete offer for 20-year-old. FC Dnipro actually bidded well over the asking price but the player refused a move to the Ukraine.

Manchester City were also sniffing around and even had top Uruguayan businessman Francisco "Paco" Casal doing their bidding for them. Following an injury to Mamadou Sakho it was also reported that Paris Saint-Germain were weighing up a move for El Flaco Coates.

With Coates’ agent Matias Pittini bombarded with a host of enquires from high profile clubs all over Europe credit must be given to Liverpool for stepping up their chase and securing the signature. Just as Luis Suárez convinced Lodeiro to come to Ajax it appears the striker has once again used his significant influence within Uruguay to get Coates to Anfield.

Enough about the off-the-field shenanigans, what exactly has this kid got in his locker? Let’s get the tired clichés out the way now; dominant in the air at both ends of the pitch, tends to stay on his feet but equally adapt at a last gasp lunge, great physicality to usher attackers off the ball, can walk the ball out of defence or ping a long pass off his right boot and he’s definitely not afraid to risk a booking.

Coates joined the Nacional academy at 11-years-old and broke into the first team seven years later. Before making his bow with Nacional the defender helped Uruguay finish third at the 2009 South American under-20 Championships.

Since making his debut for Nacional against Bella Vista on 18 April 2009 the Uruguayan has started every single game for the club, suspensions and national team duty withstanding. Despite only playing three months of the 2008/09 campaign his performances in the title winning team as well as on a run to the semi-finals of the Copa Libertadores saw Coates named the 2008/09 Uruguayan Championship Revelation of the Season.

In the close season Coates traveled to Egypt to play at the under-20 World Cup where Uruguay went unbeaten in a group containing eventual champions Ghana. Below Uruguay and Ghana in the group came Uzbekistan and then England.

Although Nacional missed out on the league title the following year Coates’ stock continued to rise. His performance in Buenos Aires against Banfield in the Copa Libertadores was a joy to behold. Coates dictated the play at both ends of the pitch as he scored the opener and set up the second in the 2-0 win over the reigning Argentinian league champions.

Coates then missed out on a trip to South Africa despite being called up to Uruguay’s senior squad for their crucial play-off double header against Costa Rica. The defender would have to wait another year before winning his first cap. His international debut came in a friendly against Estonia just a week shy of the 2011 Copa America.

With injuries dogging both Diego Godín and Mauricio Victorino the door was left ajar for Coates to partner Diego Lugano in the heart of defence at the continental competition. A string of fine displays heralded the arrival of the latest uncompromising Uruguayan centre-back, a fighter for sure and a winner to boot.

Neymar’s name was already etched onto the Young Player of the Tournament award before a ball was even kicked in Argentina, but then Coates kicked Neymar into touch. The achievement may have paled into insignificance against winning Uruguay’s 15th Copa America title but the Young Player award seems now to have tipped the balance for Coates getting a work permit.

There’s been a touch of the Cesc Fabregas and Luka Modric about Coates’ inevitable transfer away from Parque Central but the Nacional youth product remained quiet and respectful throughout. He even answered his manager’s plea to play in the game against Defensor Sporting at the weekend despite still looking jaded following his Copa America exploits.

With this in mind it’s unlikely Kenny Dalglish will want to throw Coates into the fray immediately. Judging by some of Coates’ monstrous performances in el Clásico del fútbol uruguayo against Peñarol the Merseyside Derby seems the right time for Liverpool fans to judge what sort of player they have on their hands.

A week after the Everton game Coates will celebrate his 21st birthday, what a truly fantastic bit of business from the Red Men.

"It's a club with great tradition and is Louis..."

Sebastian Coates

After practice yesterday held on the lawns and after sharing what may have been the last barbecue with his teammates, the defender spoke about the offer from Liverpool and admitted that he seduced. He admitted, in turn, did not respond quickly to the Ukrainian proposal pending to realize the vision of English football.

SILVIA PEREZ

-This roast just shared, was his farewell?

No, no. It was a single against minced married we did the other day before the game and had to pay the roast married.

'At last came the offer was expected from Liverpool.

Yes, come. And he was waiting for Manchester City

-Compared to last week, at least now we know that their destination is England.

Yes, just missing a few more days to close the period passes, you can still go either way.

-But what appeals to you the offer of Liverpool?

Yes, it's a club with great history and tradition in English football. Furthermore, it is Luis (Suarez) would be a great help to me.

- Could we say then that is going to Liverpool?

-The offer serves all parties, that it can be said that the pass is already a fact.

- So you prefer to Liverpool before the Manchester City?

Yes ... see if it would have to supply the City and what I pose to compare, but I think the help of Louis (Suarez) will be very important to me.

- Did you talk to him in the last few hours?

Yes I spoke. He contacted me and we chatted quite a while. Why I said it's great that there is a Uruguayan team. But if it's someone I know well.

- What do you tell?

-As the club. It is important because little by little he is gaining the fans, are doing a lot of goals. He's doing very well and that's good for me because I'm coming to another Uruguayan club.

- Did he say whether he spoke with the coach on arrival?

Yes, he told me he spoke with coach Kenny Dalglish and the sports manager of the institution.

- Did he say that one of the things that are strange is the sunlight?

Yes, but I do not care. When there I'll get used to that and other things too.

-The Premier League is a very interesting, completely different to the previous offer of Ukraine, right?

-No way, so it was mostly my intention to wait and not quickly answer the Ukraine. There were many rumors that I wanted in England, but nothing concrete. Fortunately, now received the offer.

- Do you know when to travel? Because he reportedly had reserved tickets for tomorrow.

No, still do not know when I travel. National need to discuss the offer arrived, contact me and take the final decision.

-Supposedly, the deadline for response is not very wide, I assume the risk of playing this weekend against Cerro or prefer to stay away?

I do not know, would be discussed with Marcelo (Gallardo). I always said that while he was here in National wanted to play and why did the last game, but also a technical decision. Because suddenly prefer to assemble the squad that he knows is going to stay here.

-At some point he managed the possibility that one of the two clubs buy it now, but let him six months playing in National, would you like that?

I do not know, would have to see what those proposals. It depends on if my new club I'm going to take into account or not.

- Is your father in Liverpool with his representative Matthias Pittini?

No, not in Liverpool. My father went to Europe and contacted him and with my agent.

- Will ask for jersey number 19?

I do not know whether it is available, but I love it.

-Last week he was going to have to get to speak English, are you doing?

'More or less. But in that sense Luis (Suarez) I am also going to have to lend a hand.

http://www.ovaciondigital.com.uy/110824/futnac-588620/futbolnacional/-es-un-club-con-mucha-tradicion-y-esta-luis-/
number 19 is downing, right?

Reading these translations is like the instruction leaflet that comes with flat pack furniture but with an added beauty.

I hope he signs just for the thrill of anticipating his next interview.
 
Never mind Seb, perhaps you'll accept a rather continental feel of 91?
 
Coates goes to Liverpool

The negotiation takes place club to club and let free $ 6,500,000

Are you interested in this story?

SILVIA PEREZ

Sebastian Coates's future is in Liverpool. And it's a pass record. The total business is $ 11.5 million National and you are free six million and a half of the U.S. currency.

Finally, after several days of waiting which took shape as was expected. Tricolor arrived at the headquarters by fax, the supply of Liverpool defender. It should be recalled that until then the only concrete proposal had come was the Dnipro D'Petrovsk Ukraine. But football was not convinced that fate.

The negotiation with Liverpool is done club to club and that was one of the factors that influenced it were decided in favor of the institution of the land of the Beatles.

The six and a half million dollars will be charged the tricolor in three annual installments. And for the club's security vendor guarantees are four from four different banks.

Moreover, it transpired that as the offer from Liverpool is less than the Ukrainian club offering six million dollars for 50% of the tab of the player, the 10% representative Matthias Pittini not what you get discounted National but the share of the player.

It should be recalled, in turn, that there were several English clubs that were interested in hiring Coates. And until yesterday it was awaiting formal offer from Manchester City, club he had had several telephone contacts. Unlike Liverpool, the City's offer came with Casal Group as an intermediary.

Notably, in turn, that Coates does not have an EU passport does not comply with the requirement of playing 75% of the matches of your choice, requirement for EU players. But by this time in England working to get authorization for the fullback job. The fact that the defense tricolor has been voted the best young player of the Copa America would facilitate the process.

SUAREZ. Salta striker seems to have much to do every time National is about to realize a million dollar business.

Luis Suarez returned to tip the balance to his team, as happened when Nicholas went to Holland Lodeiro. It is recalled that at that time the national leaders had everything arranged for "Nico" happen to AZ Alkmaar, but Suarez played a major role to finally landed in Ajax.

And now, Suarez Coates influenced to go to Liverpool. Not only spoke to his team-mate, but so did the technical and sporting manager of the institution stands for.

The top two players in the Copa America, Coates and Luis Suarez, play together again, but with another shirt.

National has not yet decided whether to hire another full-back by the departure of Coates. There are now less likely to do so because you can only get a player who is in free condition. Could be strengthened in December.

Personally, one pleasing aspect of this potential deal is that it goes someway to dismiss the notion that we are blinded by our thirst in English talents, or so it seemed.

I like this a lot. A LOT!!!
 
I hope he is good. Our South American track record is sketchy at best.

Im not that excited because hes a centre back who probably wont play much (until Agger breaks again) and ive never heard of or seen play.
 
It's if wrapped up today, It would be great to see him come off the bench at the weekend. I cannot wait to see this guy play!
