A few news sources are reporting we are close to bringing Roque Mesa in from Las Palmas.
Not heard of him before, but from looking at videos and checking stats he looks like a Britton replacement. Second most completed passes in la liga last year, 14 x bookings so he puts it about a bit. From the videos he pretty much looks identical to Leon in terms of playing style.
I'm glad we are looking to strengthen this area, £9 mill apparently. |  | | |  |

If that's the case, he'll stay at his existing Club either on Loan or with a deal done for January, stinks really that Atletico can get away with it, Barca had a Transfer Embargo and I don't think they did or could do any business whilst the embargo was inforce. |
Barca signed arda turan whilst under the embargo, he just didnt play for them until the january window |  | | |

When the Bournemouth bubble bursts it will go with an almighty bang.
Surely they've got to start expecting to flirt with the top 6/europe/winning a cup when spending that kind of money? |

Mesa wouldn't want that though, he makes his ambitions clear. Getting into the Spanish World Cup Squad. He won't do that if he misses half of the season.
Either he gets that loan back option, which i'm sure they can't do because then they've signed him, he comes here or he decides to stay at Las Palmas.
Taking an age. | | | |

According to my spanish workcolleague he says the paper that reported this story AS writes stuff to sell papers. He also says if it is not reported by Marca, it is not likely to be true. | | | |

He needs to get his arse in gear then, 'cos pre-season starts on Monday. |  | | |

Didn't they already get a slap on the wrist for this? | | | |

Don't those papers have either a pro Barca or Pro Madrid bias? Not sure which way round it is.
If news breaks in either, it's usually to promote their preferred club. |  |

From why I read Athletico are interested in signing Fabinho from Monaco, who plays as a deep lying playmaker also. Maybe the mesa deal was a smookescreen(hopefully!) | | | |

Alternatively we could go in for Fabinho. | | | |

Yes in theory they could, but Mesa wants to play asap to ensure his chances of getting into the Spanish team are stronger | | | |

Unless he is an absolute revelation, he isn't going to get in the Spanish World Cup squad playing for us. Would probably stand more chance at Las Palmas then moving mid season.
Really got my fingers crossed on this one though, looks like a hell of a signing if we get him. | | | |

Spain's more liberal on squad choices than dinosaur like England. Michu is a good example | | | |

Michu had a brilliant season and got a run out in a friendly the following year. | | | |

Michu was a revelation and he got one cap.
Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see Mesa come here and force his way into their World Cup squad. He would have to be phenomenal to do it, but that would be perfect for us.
I just don't see him looking at us as a way to get to the World Cup. | | | |

Mesa apparently followed the Swans on Twitter, but unfollowed before rumours about Atletico Madrid started. |  | | |

Ye but what's the difference if Mesa has a phenomenal season? It's all down to how he performs if he comes | | | |

Of course it is, but your previous post alluded to him having a better chance of getting in the World Cup squad here. He would have a better chance with a phenomenal season at Las Palmas, or even half season in Madrid. | | | |

Na premier league is held in higher regards and personally o don't think half a season will do any player good, premier league is the stage for showcasing, just my view | | | |

Agree to disagree on that. There are lots of reasons we would be an attractive option for him. I don't think the Spain World Cup squad is one of them. | | | |

Interesting to read that the player Athletico were rumoured to be thrown in on the deal, Alessio Cerci has been released from his contract with them. |  |

Honestly if mesa doesn't want to come and test himself in the best league in the world then fk him. |  |

There is nothing about athleti wanting him on marca so I'm going with he is signing for us. Just taken longer than anticipated | | | |
