Wittmann 86 Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Like Trent, suspicious of this one. Very happy if it's true though... It just seems wrong somehow. I could see it being a dry gag that had been lost in translation fairly easily. And journalists regularly follow the herd... You can't lose something in French when it is started and then investigated/reported in French. There is no translation process. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

DCJonah 14,033 Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Just read his team have confirmed his leaving. This would be pretty special. Link to post Share on other sites
Nostarapter 31 Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 If this is true it seems like a massive coup for us, very highly rated and linked with clubs in better situations thanus Now that is a proper statement! Clubs in better situations Link to post Share on other sites

VillanousOne 3,217 Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 It's been reported by major football outlet over there. Don't see what's to question anymore. Not really, its more outlets recycling the same story over and over. Obviously hope its true though, but remain cautious I didn't expect Gueye, Ayew or Amavi to be true when i first heard them.

Khizzy 284 Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 If this is true and we're not getting Darder, would people still be happy with this signing? Hope this doesn't mean that we've given up on Cambiasso joining as well. Link to post Share on other sites

Villa87 211 Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 I am irrationally excited by this considering I have no idea who he is or how he plays. Anybody got any specific insight on his game? Link to post Share on other sites
Delphinho123 5,773 Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Nantes are resigned to him leaving for an English club. Only thing left to find out is which English club he is joining. FWIW, I'm sure it will be us. I still think we need another central midfielder after we bring in Veretout though. If we get Praet I might actually feel positive about the new season!

Don't see what's to question anymore.Not really, its more outlets recycling the same story over and over. Obviously hope its true though, but remain cautious I didn't expect Gueye, Ayew or Amavi to be true when i first heard them.I don't agree with you, the media outlets running the Gueye/Amavi/Ayew stories are now linking our next (supposed) signing from the French league. But regardless they have been very good sources, so if they run it then I'd say it's credible. Edited July 28, 2015 by mightysasquatch Link to post Share on other sites
DCJonah 14,033 Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) Surely too much of a coincidence for the links to appear last night and his club confirm he's leaving this morning. Edited July 28, 2015 by DCJonah Link to post Share on other sites

Wittmann 86 Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 It sounds so much like a Villa transfer to me........'unnamed English club' we know we like to keep things quiet....Unfortunately, a loud mouthed french journo who has links to the president of Nantes lets it slip. Just because it wasn't broken in our press doesn't make it nonsense. Who for one knew about Crespo until Cordoba confirmed it? Link to post Share on other sites
