Topic: Iago Aspas

[Zoomers]

You always see him on the sidelines jumping and trying to motivate the boys. Best of luck Iago, I hope it all goes well .

[PIPA23]

bizarre article that. Only a year loan?

yes, with option to buy him and sign for another 3-4 seasons.

[jaffod]

Deadwood off the books. Anyone thinking we'll get more than £1-2 million for him is fucking deluded.

[lessthanmatt]

Hope he does really well always seemed enthusiastic here despite lack of game time

[soxfan]

Can't fault his attitude, always gave his all and celebrated like a fan on the sidelines even though the easier option would have been to sit there and sulk. Hasn't quite worked out for him with us but best of luck in the future Iago.

Exactly. I'll be rooting for him. Seems like a wonderful guy. 

[thelinnen]

Farewell.

Worst #9 ever!!!!!!!!

[deFacto please, you bastards]

Worst #9 ever!!!!!!!!

Diouf was worse, for his actions alone.

[jckliew]

Cant brain why we bought him and loan out Borini , still. 

[rawKBottom]

Good luck Aspas, maybe you deserved more opportunities, but not to be the case, thanks to the best strike force in PL we had when you were around.

[BabuYagu]

Why do they agree to put a buy clause in when loaning players?  I dont get how it can ever be beneficial to the seller cos the loan club will only ever take up the buy clause if the players worth more at the end of the season, unless theyre italian where they will just try to renegotiate it anyway.

Same reason a buying club puts a sell-on clause or buyback clause in a contract, because there would be no deal without it.

We want rid of Aspas. No takers. Someone offers to loan him, cover his wages, pay a fee of £1m or £2m and if they like what they get buy him at the end.

Ultimately it´s win-win. If he works out well, we get the fee we want plus the loan fee. If not, we got back some of his fee and his wages off the books for a season at least. They get to try before they buy as we did with Cissokho and Mascherano.

[The Mule]

I think somewhere like Swansea would've been a better fit for him.

More game time to get used to the pace/physicality here (which he clearly needed), and less pressure to perform.

There is a player in there somewhere though.

Good luck, Iago.

[redan]

Good luck to the lad

However we always seem to be backed into a corner with these loan deals

[GlenJohnson2]

Good luck Iago! 

Last summer he was the signing I was most excited about. Just shows what I know...

[royhendo]

Good luck to the wee fella. If he doesn't win the ball back against Villa, Sturridge doesn't get his worldie.

[Funky_Gibbons]

I'll always smile when I think of Iago Aspas, and the worst corner I've ever seen live.

The week before we played them, Chelsea lost 2-1 at home to Sunderland. Sunderland's first goal came from a corner played to the edge of the 'D' to an unmarked player who wasn't closed down and was able to control the ball and shoot.

That was obviously something we noticed and worked on as our first corner against Chelsea in that home game we attempted exactly the same routine but I think we miss the target. Aspas gets a lot of stick for that corner but he is clearly trying the same set-piece but someone hasn't made the necessary run which makes him look the idiot. Although frustrating at the time, i don't think it's fair to blame him for that corner.

Good luck to him, never really got a chance here with Suarez and Sturridge ahead of him.

[clinical]

He's not that bad and will be very good for Sevilla.

[Gods_Left_Boot]

Best of luck Iago!

[dublinred101]

Delighted, hopefully get decent backup now.

[Hazell]

Hasn't worked out for him here. Good luck back in Spain.

[Carlito Roberto]

Good luck to the wee fella. If he doesn't win the ball back against Villa, Sturridge doesn't get his worldie.

A proud moment for the transfer committee.

[Hash91]

Why hasn't this been announced on the official site?

[MiserableP15]

The blades nickname is right over my head

[Chakan]

The blades nickname is right over my head

Aspas in Spanish means Blades , apparently.

[tubby]

Good luck to him.  Weird transfer as he just never looked anywhere near being a regular for us last season.

[Wabaloolah]

Good luck to him.  Weird transfer as he just never looked anywhere near being a regular for us last season.

which one of Suarez or Sturridge would you have dropped to accommodate him though?  I suspect he was bought due to the anticipation Suarez was going to leave last year, he didn't so Aspas didn't really get a look in when he was back from the ban

[StrikingMidfield]

Couldn't cut it here, but I'd be very happy for him if he could restart his career and do well for Sevilla.

[C]

Why are we doing buisness with Sevilla when they are haggling over a couple of mil for Moreno??

[Flash6289]

So Ayre went all the way there and only negotiated a year loan?!

Kudos to you for making the case. I've been trying (in vain) to do so as well ever since that bungled training-ground-routine corner kick occurred. People do love themselves a scapegoat, don't they?

[LiverpoolKopKings]

Why hasn't this been announced on the official site?

in fact he's still in the squad page and there isn't the on loan tag next to his name

[Geppvindh's]

So they wouldn't

[Miltonred]

Seemed like a good lad to have around, looked like he gave his all in training and was always looking to get involved anytime he got on the field, it just never worked out for him. I can remember a couple of games we already had in the bag where he got in great positions but never got fed. Might have done him the world of good to have got on the scoresheet even in those types of games.
Scoring is all about confidence.

[Schmidt]

I liked him, on the rare occasion that he started up front he looked really sharp and was a definite threat, but because he was shunted out wide for a few games and then dropped everyone calls him a failure.

Hopefully he has a good season at Sevilla, I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for him.

[XabiGerrard]

Good luck to him, will be tough to find a better corner taker

[rob1408]

He'll do okay in Spain, some players just struggle to adapt.  Best of luck Blades.

[soxfan]

Good luck to him, will be tough to find a better corner taker

Show some respect. He gave his all for us. And let's not base his entire abilities on a corner or two he took in cameo appearances. He was a very good player in Spain and will likely do well upon his return there.   

[Redman0151]

Aspas tells Moreno not to move to Liverpool as he'll never feel like he does at Sevilla.

[Caston]

Haha cheers pal

[EmotionalCitrus]

Haha the noodle-armed little goblin.
