Villan4Life Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 If we get Sanchez i'd be pretty happy. Seems quite a "big" signing for us though. Could be one of those ones where he's linked to us but then chooses someone like Everton at the last minute.. Funny you should say that!! i just found this article, he has a 2mil euro buy out clause http://toffeeweb.com/season/14-15/rumour-mill/27873.html Reports from Spain claim that Everton have met the €2m buy-out clause to acquire Colombian international, Carlos Sanchez Moreno, from Elche CF. Nicknamed "La Roca" (the rock), Sanchez appears to be part-owned by Array Group Europe BV and Events Petxina SL and the reports suggest that the Blues have had to buy out those controlling interests to bring him to the Premier League. The Echo's Greg O'Keeffe says that Roberto Martinez "has no genuine interest" in Sanchez, however. Sanchez is a 28 year-old central midfielder who can also operate at centre half and has 44 caps for his country including at this year's World Cup in Brazil where he played in four of Colombia's five matches.

dAVe80 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 How many midfielders do Everton need FFS?! This would be a great signing in my opinion, which is why I don't want to believe it will happen, as I'll likely end up disappointed! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Could be on the radar as you'd imagine a relegation battling team like Elche would be paying their players a pittance. Sad but that's how we have to view transfer targets nowadays. If they earn more than a fiver a week no deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be a great signing in my opinion, which is why I don't want to believe it will happen, as I'll likely end up disappointed! That was before they signed Bešić. They don't need him now. More concerningly he has been recently linked to QPR. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thefeet1980 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I'd be very pleased with signing Sanchez. If Keane could put an arm round his shoulder and offer a few tips, all the better. Get it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Carlos Sanchez I think id piss myself with excitement, he is exactly what Villa need. His man marking performance on Messi in Copa America was the most disciplined and best way to stop him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichiBoi11 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 How strong is this Carlos Sanchez link? Twitter fluff or a legitimate source? The usual twitter link but apparently it's in the Spanish press as well and foreign press have a better success rate than ours on these kinds of things so I'm keeping my fingers crossed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KjParton Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I just think we'd struggle to compete on a wage level with QPR/Everton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samjp26 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I just think we'd struggle to compete on a wage level with QPR/Everton. I agree, but can either of those teams guarantee that he'll be a starter? I don't think they can and he has already said he is more than happy to stay at Elche.

PieFacE Posted August 8, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted August 8, 2014 Apparently QPR are in for Sanchez too. If true they will probsbly pay way more than we will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
