Iago Aspas

[Gray]

He's not garbage. Technically he's a half-decent player, but LFC is just too much of a step up fotr him. He would do a job for a team like Palace or Burnley

Or Everton/Villa

We should be able to get a fee for the lad.

[The_weatherman]

Just thinking here, I know it's harmful in large doses, but is there anyway that a loan, like in this instance is a way to prevent him showing up as a loss in the books? If we sold him now our accounting would show him to be a loss but if we loan him he'll just be our assett in Spain, maybe bringing in a bit of a loan fee and with them paying the wages.

Just trying to get my head around accounting and amortistation.

No......Aspas is like a disease, infecting others around him with his corner kick expertise. Best to cut it out, regardless of the impact to the surrounding tissue.

If he goes on loan, I can see him having a decent season in Spain and hopefully we'll make the majority of our money back on him next year.

personally - if he goes on loan to sevilla for the season - i'd be shocked if he scored more than 6 goals next season.

then a year later we'd be trying to find someone else to take him.

Haha, think we are overly harsh on him here.

Time will tell I guess.

I also think he's a slightly better player than most on here assume. I think he'll do ok for them. This league just didn't seem to suite him and I got the impression the move was just too big for him.

[Gibbo]

Remember how good he looked in pre-season

[Pablo]

Almost as good as The Crow

[Cormack74]

I still think he had something about him - he excelled against Utd at the beginning of the season.

However after being repeatedly ignored by Studge in the first few games even when in good goal scoring positions, I think his confidence dipped and a more general malaise set in to his play.

no - i thought he looked ****ing ****e then as well

i also don't think we are too harsh on him

he was **** before we signed

**** whilst here

and he'll be **** when he's gone.


nothing against the lad - and when i say **** - i understand he must have some ability otherwise he'd never have made it

but other than two seasons - one in the Segunda which is ****, and one in La Liga where he somehow blagged 12 goals - he's never ever done anything before or since to suggest he is anything other than ****.


David Ngog was better than him - at least with Ngog he cost next to nothing, he was a kid, he had shown potential with the french u21 side - it was a gamble.


Aspas just baffles me more than any other transfer has ever baffled me. I just can't see why on earth we signed him.

#LFC and Seville remain in discussions for #Moreno as a deal for Iago #Aspas (loan, option to buy) is concluded. - http://elcorreoweb.es/2014/07/14/sev...-la-operacion/ …

[Resu]

These option/buy if plays a certain amount deals always turns out great for us. Have we ever profited on one of these clauses?

[Lee]

We did on Scott Carson.

[Gazzla]

Aspas gone which is a result, now let's get a quality forward in who can actually contribute something
