Jesus Navas to tickle our sidelines

[john@staustell]

So it seems this deal is all agreed, AS reported last night that the only thing missing is the player's signature.

I'm hoping this has been discussed as a potential signing with Pellegrini. I'm a bit uncomfortable with the continental system of dumping players on a coach and saying get on with it.

Isn't it more like dumping the manager on the players and saying "play for him"?

I'm thinking of that horrible coach at Seville who took over after Juande Ramos split. Now that was definitely a case of dumping a manager on the players.

This move is looking like it's close.

I hadn't seen these quotes before but if he said that, then I guess this is only a matter of time.

According to SSN He is one of Pellegrinis targets for city. So I wonder who else is on his wish list

Navas signs for Manchester City

Jesus Navas is already a City player. It's not yet official but it's a only question of time before both clubs confirm because the deal is closed, as reported by Radio Marca Sevilla. The deal will be for 25M euros plus add-ons.

The player will get 2.5M euros net pa, in a five year deal.

This economic boost affects the future of Negredo. His departure looked certain but now, with money, Del Nido feels he can retain the 'vallecano' who has scored 25 goals in La Liga and 31 in total.

Jesús Navas ya es jugador del Manchester City. Aún no es oficial pero es cuestión de hora que ambos equipos lo confirmen porque el acuerdo está cerrado, como adelanta Radio MARCA Sevilla. El club de Nervión ha cerrado sus traspaso por 25 millones más objetivos.

El jugador ganaría 2,5 millones de euros netos por cada una de las cinco temporadas por las que se comprometerá con los ingleses.

Esta inyección económica afecta al futuro de Negredo. Era segura su marcha pero ahora, con dinero, Del Nido se siente con fuerzas para retener al vallecano, que ha marcado 25 goles en Liga y 31 en la temporada contando los 6 logrados en la Copa

makes keeping Dzeko more viable. We are dealing with a manager that got RSC scoring after all. Besides, Cavani is gonna cost something like 60m, and we'll need someone who isn't a midget at some point in the season (no matter how skilled of a midget they might be).

will be interesting to be playing with a skillful winger,

If we are going to play with wingers we NEED someone on the left as well. Otherwise it won't work and the team won't be balanced. Unless we're going to do a Stuart Pearce and have someone like Samaras or Sibierski on the left. That worked well..

After seeing on twitter that graham hunter had all but confirmed Navas signing, i thought i'd have a look on the seville forums and see how they view the transfer.

There i stumbled across this;



Did we make a gaff yesterday?

This is the forum btw, worth a (translated) read.

[Sideshow Bob]

Yeh, but all these cocks don't know a good thing when they see it/are offered out during the lap of honour.

City always sign someone on my birthday, they never disappoint.

A little Navas fact that just popped up on my twitter;

71 - Jesus Navas created the most chances from open play in La Liga during 2012-13. Crafty.

Can never hurt to have a bit more creative guile imo.

i like what i've seen from him in la liga and at the euros. however, i am a bit surpised at his low numbers for 2012/2013: 54 app (club & country), 2 goals, 9 assists.

Perhaps he is now sick of being at home?

Now reported as pretty much done by Sid Lowe in the Guardian.

I'd say that he is about to be announced
