Sebastián Eguren will be joining us in the summer

[Hazel Motes]

I've heard this from various sources. Most of my sources are VERY reliable.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The 27 years old Uruguayan midfielder currently on loan at Villarreal CF will be joing us this summer for ca £2m.

Sebastián Eguren Ledesma plays on central midfield, is a good passer, got a eye for the goal and has lots of fighting spirit. He'd fit perfectly in to our team.


I'M THRILLED!

Obligatory youtube clip with bad music and irritating graphic effects, please.

And, NO, I wont reveal my sources - not this time either. Get used to it!

He looked a bit slow playing for Rosenborg in 2005. The pace of the Norwegian league is about 14,5% of the EPL, on average.

Fuck, if he's the missing piece it's going to be a shit jigsaw.

And I say this with some confidence, despite (obviously) never having seen him play.

[Randy Marsh]

Finally! A central midfielder, we're quite short on them

[Hazel Motes]

He can also play on the right and in the attack, he's a natural link man aswell as a excellent defensive midfielder.

If true, it might be the confirmation that Xabi is leaving. Rafa might be looking to cash in on him. However, I don't think that we are overly stocked on central midfielders to be honest, we use three of them so we have greater need for cover.

Agree.

[crouchaholic]

With all due respect, Remington, I REALLY hope your sources are wrong this time. This guy is nowhere near good enough.

[Rashid]

Just what we need.... maybe soon we can play a 3-6-1 formation to accomodate them all.

[Hazel Motes]

Hmmm... I read somewhere that he tested positive for cocaine... Anyway, good or not, I believe he's coming.

Eguren tested positive for cocaine after a match in the Copa Libertadores, on February 12, 2004, being suspended from football for six months. He blamed the coca tea which is widely drunk in the Andean countries (as a medicine which alleviates the effects of altitude), and he got the shortest suspension for this kind of cases (this specific match was played at 2,800 meters above sea level, in Quito).

Who will you drop though? Carra? Skrtel? Agger? Sami?

[Teigen]

Oh man... Watched him several times when he played for Rosenborg BK. Honestly, this player is just crap. How can a player, who didn't do it well in Norway, be good enough for us?

Hope your source is wrong here, Remington!

Getting a little sick of all these jarg south americans coming over here for a couple of mil then fucking off after a year, Paletta, Leto won't make it and this guy. Why can't we just save the money we have and buy a TOP midfielder who will go straight in to the first 11 as if Xabi leaves then we need somebody as good as if not better to better the tam not more 'squad players'

Where the fuck is Leto? Heard nothing of him for months, is he injured?

[WaltonRed]

Maybe rafa thinks Lucas can step up and this fella is cover.

We get 10+ plus for Xabi, most goes on a winger but two of it goes on him.

I can live with that. (i suppose)

Perhaps we can sell both Xabi and Pennant if this player plays right hand side. We might then use the proceeds for a quality right sided player?

[Rashid]

More squad players to feed the rotation obsession.
