Yaser Asprilla - signed for Girona

[LestaLad]

“Leicester enters the race to hire Yaser Asprilla (20), he joins #Porto 's interest in the player as well. The option of #Rennes in standby.”

 

I know we aren’t opening threads for random rubbish but this guys actually a very good player and I’m sure we’ve been linked before from his agent.. and also I need that Ayew thread to sink further down

It’s a massive yes from me! 
 

Gerrrimmm in!

[Danno]

Our first Brazilian!

[Harry96]

Yes please 

[Lesta Legend]

Apparently visited Rennes yesterday with the expectation to sign for them. 
But has now flown back. 
 

Maybe we’ve been used to push a deal along or maybe there is late strong interest!

 

A right winger though, meh.

No chance we get this guy

[Ric Flair]

I was impressed with the bits I saw of him last season. Similar profile of player to Soule. A left footed RW/attacking midfielder.

[Micky]

He reminds me of a certain Algerian winger....

 

Looks class

[mozartfox]

This had better not scupper the Ayew deal.....

[Pliskin]

Watford have a nack of signing good South Americans. We should take note. I’d take him, he has potential.

Definitely a very good player .

 
He seems to have been linked to a lot of clubs this summer tbh.

 

We’ll probably end up selling him at end of August and have no time to get anyone in .

The mother supports Watford so I’ve seen a lot of him since he joined them. 
 

Along with Ismael Kone who’s now gone to Marseille, Asprilla has been by far Watford’s best talent in recent seasons(Forgetting Joao Pedro), he has that creative flair that is exciting to watch. 
 

I also think Watford haven’t seen the absolute best of him, he’s got a few more gears in his locker imo. 
 

But will this happen, my head says no.

Yeah this will just be a smokescreen for someone like Ryan Fraser

Asprilla is a smokescreen for Ryan Fraser, who is himself a smokescreen for Cameron Archer.

Yaser Asprilla 

interesting. he also seems to play a lot in the CAM role as well. Got to be some legs to this as seems a great alternative to Soule

[fox_favourite]

Is it a player that we need? Yes. 

Is it a player that we could afford. Yes

Should we try to get him before other clubs. Yes

Would he potentially be good for us. Yes

Does it get Foxestalk approval. Seems to 

 

And for those reasons, this isn't going to happen. Close thread.

It’s a good comparison, just comparing him with Soule in terms of a couple of key creative stats...

 

Soule

Smart Passes per90 - 1.50

Key Passes per90 - 0.91

 

Asprilla

Smart Passes per90 - 1.03

Key Passes per90 - 0.85

 

Of right midfielders in Serie A, Soule was 1st in the Smart Passes statistic. 
Of right midfielders in the Championship, Asprilla was 2nd in the Smart Passes statistic. 
 

My head says we won’t get him, but at least we’ve been linked to a couple of creative players, albeit they usually play off the right.

Wonder what sort of fee? £10-£12m + addons?
