I don't remember him from playing us last season. Any good?

He only played against us for a total of 36 minutes across both games last season.

Below John Percy but above Alan Nixon

Yes wide player with pace and good technique .

Is he worth getting ridiculously excited about and spending all weekend on Foxestalk waiting for the inevitability of him signing for Rennes?

You mean West Ham or Everton

A good summary of the player on this podcast from the Copa America!

Rennes aren't allowed to pay the fee that the agent wants  - https://www.footmercato.net/a3323672305195508393-le-stade-rennais-en-passe-de-se-faire-doubler-pour-un-crack-colombien

 

Porto supposedly can't afford him - https://www.ojogo.pt/3070155697/yaser-asprilla-apontado-como-alvo-mas-fora-do-alcance-do-fc-porto/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

 

Seems like it SHOULD be pretty straight forward then...

Roma couldn't pay the Soulè fee too 👀

We could make boiling an egg complicated.

If - and it's a big if - we genuinely do have money and the Soule link was as genuine as we think it was then this transfer would make a lot of sense. We missed one target, this is the next guy up, very similar profile.

 

Be interesting to see if the Fabs and Percys of this world jump on it shortly.

So once one of the Tier 1 sources throw their tuppence in, we can see a little “tier 1” under the thread?

No basically depending on the country the player comes from it’s a Kier 1 or Kier 2…

 

 

… sorry

Yeah that's the idea. To be honest, I've never heard of the French sources tweeting this, they could be brilliant. I guess we learn as we go along don't we? 

 

But yeah if Percy puts an article out in a bit confirming our interest and saying we've made an approach then we'll update the tag to Tier 1 and recommend the post.

This makes me far more excited than it should.

It cuts both ways. It broke me a little having to mark the Matt O'Riley, Gabriel Sara and Reo Hatate threads Tier 4

Our first player from Earl Shilton 

[st albans fox]

With only a year left surely the price won’t be more than €15m ??

Recent article on him.

 

He's an excellent prospect but not the sort of player that helps you stay in the league. It doesn't mean we shouldn't sign him though, if you could tie him to a 4 year deal, he's the sort that even if we got relegated would help murder the Championship to get us back up. I just think that compared to say Soule or Nelson, he's more raw. High celing though for sure!

Unsurprisingly not included in Watford’s pre season friendly today.

Maybe we’re gonna go for a Colombian 🇨🇴 double, and get Asprilla and Richard Rios over the line

We do tend to try to recruit groups to help with the club culture. Wouldn’t be surprised at all to see a few spanish speaking players through the doors. 

 

Although after a year in london perhaps his english is good? 

[LcFc_Smiv]

No one on the Watford forum appears to be any wiser, they seem to be hoping us being linked is to drive up the transfer fee from Rennes.
