The last thing we need right now is ANOTHER left winger. And while Capel would be near the top of my list if we did, his theatrics and tendency to waste time rolling around after non-existant fouls is a major detractor, for me. Let’s just hang on to Robinho and Robben and Drenthe for now, and hope Capel goes to Getafe.

I would love Capel, but Del Nido is worst than Donald Trump mixed with with a used car sales man.

I don’t believe Diego would be happy outside of Spain. He’s staying put.

Well the idea here is that his agent told Real his buy out clause was 12 million, but it would increase to 15. That means its the minimum bid needed, but it doesnt mean Sevilla cant haggle for something higher. I personally dont want him, he needs a few more years in the oven before he is worth the money.

I’ll give Real Madrid my used jockstrap and spandex shorts for €15 million. Capel stays put!

If Real does indeed pick up Capel it has to mean someone is leaving. Robinho? Or Capel sits on the bench all season. I don’t know doesn’t seem like a good move for Real, although this kid does have a very bright future.

I’ll stand in line behind you two. I think Capel fits the profile of what they need, but not necessarily of what they like to buy. His agent might bring in Real Madrid as a bargaining option but if he leaves I think it might be away from Spain. He’s a little slight for the Prem, but they’ll be throwing crazy money in North London.

I agree with Ryan. Even if he goes to Real, he won’t go for €15million. You know as well as anyone that price inflation is absurd for Real and this will be no exception, especially once Del Nido decides it’s time to weigh in (maybe €15million for his “boots”!).

No way he goes for less than €20m.

Don’t count him in your side yet.

Another good year at Sevilla gains him more money…and it’s really inevitable that he’ll have another good year.
