oh ok. I thought it was most likely to be him as it was said he's overseas. Obviously I'm a day behind!

I thought you'd be angry as you seem to dislike Musacchio...

I pointed out his current flaws, but as I confessed to you, I'm sure most are an age thing like when he gets draw from position.
Maybe I was being too hard on the guy, maybe I wasn't. We shall see if we sign him I guess.

Villarreal centre-back Mateo Musacchio is a step closer to joining Tottenham after the Spanish side signedVictor Ruiz on loan from Valencia on Monday.
Villarreal coach Marcelino admitted last week that Musacchio was set to sign for Spurs and left the Argentine defender out of his side's travelling party for the 3-0 friendly win over Swansea on Saturday as negotiations between the two clubs continued.
The Yellow Submarine were unwilling to part company with the 23-year-old until a replacement had been identified, but Goal understands the transfer moved closer to its completion after Ruiz was unveiled on Monday in a loan deal from regional rivals Valencia with a view to a permanent move next summer.
Musacchio has a release clause set at €50 million, but Villarreal are expected to settle for around €20m for the highly-rated Argentine defender, who has also interested Real Madrid and Barcelona in the past.
However, the Liga side only own 35 per cent of Musacchio's playing rights, with 35% belonging to his former club River Plate and the remaining 30% to the defender's representatives.
Villarreal want at least €15m of the total fee from Tottenham themselves for their most marketable player and hope the Premier League club and the player's agent, Marcelo Lombilla, can come to an agreement with River Plate over the remainder of the funds.
Musacchio is keen on a move to White Hart Lane and a link-up with compatriot Mauricio Pochettino, himself a fine centre-back in his playing days, but his agent will now need to renounce his 30 per cent stake for the deal to go through.
Villarreal's public stance, meanwhile, is that Musacchio remains a key part of the club's plans and president Fernando Roig has told local media the defender will be offered a new contract in the coming days.

FFS, you keep beating me to it.
Well, there's "want" and there's "the contractual situation".
Villarreal only own 35% of Musacchio. If they want €15m, then - well I never - that just shy of 35% of his buyout fee of €50 million.
But the fee that River and the agent, who own 65% of the player, have agreed is in the region of €20-22 million.
I can't see River and the agent giving Villarreal most of the cash they're owed under the 35:35:30 joint ownership.
This is all public posturing.
They seem to think that's cheap then?

Well I follow Valencia as a second team and seeing as Barca bought Mathieu for 20m (still laughing), I would imagine they think this is the deal of the season. Mathieu should be about 2m, he is awful. Musacchio is much much better.

With Man Utd and now reportedly Chelsea in the market for a Centre-back I am starting to worry about the delay in this deal, especially as this sort of deal has the latter all over it (Oscar/Willian).
Does seem to be more their end but ours, just hope we aren't having our plonker pulled...

Bearing in mind how advanced negotiations seem to be, that will depend on how much of a **** musacchio himself is. If he turns out to be as much of an arsehole as Willian was, I'm not sure I want him anyway.

This deal ain't happening.
If it was it already would have.
The player isn't making desperate moves to leave. The club don't need the money and would rather keep him. The third party aspect is going to prevent them from agreeing to sell.
So no point, move on Daniel.

Really? It's been 11 days since we were first linked.
Ben Davies took like a month.
And on top of that, most of the ITK is that he's close to being done.
