The_Steve Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Acuña has big huevos. Exactly the kind of player we need in the squad and not just for the skills they offer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was an absolute beast in the World Cup and took no prisoners, a mate of Emi's too (one that he talked to about our project perhaps?). Seems like a cross between Chopper Harris and Norman Hunter (for those old enough to remember them) to me. I pity any winger that tries to dance past him, one look from him should be all that's needed (see below). I just hope someone doesn't try to poach him off us, before the deal is actually done. Maybe the kind of character we need and are lacking? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisvilla4 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 He looks like a cross between bale and tevez, with a dash of dowie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 I'm all for Emery raiding former clubs for players he knows and that have won him Europa Leagues and/or national league titles before. As mentioned, he'll have a good understanding with Carlos and the out balls and interplay will come to them more naturally. May be a direct result of Mings injury and the fact Carlos is now likely to get serious game time. This guy looks a complete beast. A big yes to Acuña 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villanmac Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Weirdly he's the player who i remember the most outside of Messi and Emi in that Argentina squad at the WC. Thought he was brilliant or at least very involved! I think he might be a bit unheralded as he isn't the prettiest penny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas10 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 (edited) Uh oh… It is an amount of €5M plus €2M in variables, a price far removed from what Sevilla FC intends to obtain in this transfer market. In fact, some fans have described it as "ridiculous" on social networks. Edited August 15, 2023 by Jas10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He struck me as a real fighter and grafter but… a bit cumbersome and technically lacking… But, I’m sure he’s better than many of us may assume… At the very least, he’s definitely more mobile than Digne and more capable and aggressive defensively… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted August 15, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 15, 2023 He has a touch of psychopath about him… lovely. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine we might stretch to 8+2, if 5+2 really is the opening offer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’d still be fine, sure but (for me at least) this is purely conditional on getting rid of Digne (decent fee, wages gone )… Better suited player with more to offer and an existing relationship with at least a couple of our players… According to transfermarkt, contract expires June 30 2025.

His wages will be a lot lower than Dignes and he is also versatile having played all positions on left side and played some games in central midfield.

VillaChris Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Ah so that's who Emi was begging to join us in the Argentine camp. Any word if he's travelled for the Super cup match as I can remember Moreno not going with Betis when they were playing the Super cup in the Middle east and he joined us 24 hours later.
