There is another Colombian, besides James and Cuadrado, who has become a hot topic of the transfer market: Sevilla’s Carlos Bacca. He showed good finishing skills in the past season: 14 goals in 35 appearances. Tottenham and Atletico Madrid are very interested. Colchoneros asked for a loan, but Sevilla refused and put a €20M price tag on him. The future of Bacca has yet to be decided.

Apparently he also knows how to park the bus!

Wikipedia:
"Bacca began his professional career with Atlético Junior in 2006, where he did not have many chances to play. While playing football, Bacca had a second job working as a bus driver's assistant, to earn more money since his family came from a poor background.[1] "

He can double up on away games, no need to pay the exorbatant wages of the primadonna coach driver #levy'd

Is there a different chairman at Seville since the Luis fabiano days, if not then let's move on!

Must... Sign... Chewy...

I am not sure he would be that effective in the premier league seems a little bit like Soldado. No electric pace not that powerful too similar to what we have in my view.

 

[absolute bobbins]

Are we buying all the defenders?

He had a very decent season last season and looked pretty good, can't say I ever noticed him before or heard of him before the move to Sevilla, but then I rarely watch Belgian football

As far as I'm aware, he was better than Benteke was in Belgian football. And I thought he looked a top striker in the Europa League last season too, agreed.

 

[King of Otters]

Thought he looked excellent in the handful of games I saw of Sevilla last season.

The story doesn't involve an Italian club so I don't really trust Di Marzio at all on this one.

 

[Mr Pink]

Watched a bit of Sevilla in the Europa League last season.

Looked pretty good but not sure he'd cut it in this League, a bit undecided.

 

[GutBucket]

Good player but not better than Soldado and Adebayor.

Yeah, I saw him have some good and bad games last season. Sharp finisher, but not sure if he has the physical attributes.

No point taking a risk need someone tried and tested in the premier league we already have Soldado finding trying to find his feet. I would prefer to spend 20 million for someone who proven in England

That sounds reasonable but who ?

28 years old. €20M price tag. Unacclimatised to the league = No thanks. Lower the price and we'll talk again.

Like who? Everyones price is inflatee to 25m or so with no reason.

I'd be all for this. Front four of Ade, Soldado, Bacca and Kane would be great. Throw in Ceballos as a make weight.

Yeah he looked a decent player but that's a very expensive fee for a player given one decent La Liga season and his age
