Mateo Musacchio

[mark87]

There is a potential logic to this.

Europa League qualification is worth money to Villarreal. So if there is a secret deal, it could be to keep MM until they qualify for Europe and then sell him quickly after the trip to Kazakhstan. In this hypothesis, the European game is more important than the La Liga one.

Most of the ITK suggested Villarreal were holding out for more money, and this is a way that they could potentially get some more cash in. Pure speculation of course.

Love the optimism.

He's on the bench and has a slight injury problem apparently.

Like Bale

 

[jamaican_spurs]

Abductor problem apparently- isn't that what we said about Bale at one stage...

Abductor problem. I hope Baldini remembers to put air holes in the crate. I always forget to that when i abduct someone.

 

[Bus-Conductor]

It's all there for him to read and consider, far be it for me to rain on anyone's thesis but I merely try and provide food for thought

I thought not.

 

[Scot-Spur]

Apparently signed a new contract according to sky pundits

 

[Sandros Shiny Head]

Did Balague just say he's signed a new contract?

 

[THFCSPURS19]

Where has he said this?

 

[Sandros Shiny Head]

when they went back to the second half they were trying to work out why he and jonathan dos santos weren't playing

 

[Scot-Spur]

Where has he said this?

Halftime

 

[spurs9]

I would be surprised if he has signed a new contract and Villarreal haven't announced it with all of the transfer speculation surrounding him and him being on the bench today.

 

[spurs9]

Halftime

Did they say why it hasn't been announced yet?

 

[Indisguise]

A new contract! What an anticlimax if true.

 

[Sandros Shiny Head]

Did they say why it hasn't been announced yet?

He said it as if common knowledge but there's no mention anywhere else

 

[Mr Pink]

187 pages in and he signs a new contract lol

 

[Scot-Spur]

Did they say why it hasn't been announced yet?

No, Balague said that we were interested but Villareal had renewed his contract and was happy to stay!

Didn't really have a good explanation for him being on the bench though....

Based on kit numbers, looks like they rested a number of starters

Too bad if he signed a new contract, but I had kind of moved on from this one, and by the looks of things, everyone else had too - Spurs set a deadline, it was not met, they moved onto Fazio, Musacchio had nowhere to go but sign a new deal.

Only him and one other were changed from Thursday

 

[LiamJM10]

So did he actually sign a new contract?

 

[Dharmabum]

If Dier keep developing as fast as he's done so for then he can have saved Levy £20M + on Mussaschio. Yes, I know Dier is young and he will have his ups and downs and sooner or later oppostion will figure out his weak points etc etc - and not signing Mussachio can/will add to his chances of developing even faster (as it will give him more 1st team games).

 

[Barry Mead]

I thought not.

You can lead a whore to culture but you can't make her think, I think it's something like that anyway
