Nah, can’t see this one happening 

Are you sure? 
 

There’s various reports of us bidding / asking for conditions. - indeed this looks like one we’ve tracked for a long time too.

 

He’s been up for transfer all summer, turning done Rennes in the process.

 

We also know Watford have been pushing for this one to be resolved behind the scenes of late - wanting him back training and considering him for the squad against Stoke (ultimately left out).

 

Yes, I know Girona are reportedly interested, who also have Champions League football, but I’ve not been able to find any suggestion they’ve tabled a firm bid.

 

Therefore - we might be the only current offer and he saw enough in us last night to say “let’s do it!”

I think there are a lot of assumptions in the above. It could make sense, but I just feel it's unlikely, at best

Us and Rennes are the only teams to make an offer

This confirms interest, but suggests no bid as of yet.

No sir Asprilla

Kasey’s just signed a new deal I see… is he about to go out on loan because we have another wide player coming in 🤔

Spoke to my Watford supporting mate at golf again today, he said the club don’t want him back, best thing is that his Watford mates said at the weekend they would take (wait for it ) Hamza Choudhury in part exchange as they really rate him…

Central midfield is probably the only position we are lacking players tbh .

“Girona FC is currently the top candidate to sign Colombian winger Yáser Asprilla (20).
The player is willing to come (in this sense we have an advantage over Leicester City) and the terms of the contract with the player would not be a problem but negotiations need to be held and an agreement reached with Watford FC.
Although the GFC is willing to make an unprecedented financial effort in the club, there is a gap between what we currently offer and what the English team demands. Formulas are being sought to make the transfer cheaper.”

 

Sounds like even he don’t wanna come hahaha

Story of our summer. But Girona journo. 
 

Other reports say he wants to stay in UK etc.

I'm concerned the "couple" that Cooper insinuated were hopefully close were referring to Asprilla and Ayew as doesn't sound promising. One is a familiar feel of collapsing and another massively underwhelming.

[kingpower]

oh look, another one who has us as his last resort...

[FoxinNotts]

Tbh with his complicated ownership, I just can't see us doing this deal. I'd imagine we've moved on from this.

[Muzzy_no7]

Why are we wasting time on this when we could go and get Seb Nanasi for 4-7m?!?!!?
