never felt confident when it appeared in argus then went deathly quiet .

Could be more of the agent thing

At least we know we are looking at LWB

Well I'm currently in isolation having tested positive on Monday, so I can't smell a thing. Hope you're right however!

I hope I'm right too.

Get well soon.

It's one bloke on twitter. Getafe's president said they've had an offer from a Premier league club and Cucurella wants to join. I'm still confident we'll get him.

I’m with you on this. No need to cry until the milk is actually spilt.

Some randomer on Twitter says Atleti are interested and all of a sudden it's game over for us and our transfer policy is "sickening" :lolol:

Personally I won’t take much notice of a tweet from not a well known journalist source , only 2000 followers . Not enough to have real credibility. Needs to have at least 10,000 followers .

I didn't think this was news that they were interested in him, that's been mentioned before. But haven't heard anything else about it until that twitter post. Which i haven't translated. Is it saying they've bid or just interested? If its only interest, does that really change anything?

It says he's definitely leaving Getafe and a Premier League club is after him but they're not ruling out an offer from Atlético Madrid. The tweet was posted by some bloke with 2000 followers so lacks any kind of credibility and doesn't tell us anything new anyway.

To be honest I thought that was pretty much exactly where we were already. I'm not overly worried about that post, but I'm trying not to get excited unless it gets confirmed.

It also says Getafe have lined up his replacement, Jorge de Frutos from Levante.

This tweet, along with the Getafe president's previous comments regarding our interest makes me think he's as good as ours.

The inclusion of Atleti in the tweet looks like an after thought to sex it up a bit.

Is anyone really surprised that this rumoured transfer didn't come off? I don't think he was ever coming anywhere near us...but at least it looks as if we were
in the running I suppose.
I felt the same way about the Argie, he was playing in the South America cup and seemed to make up his mind way to quickly to go to a manager less side with no idea who his team mates might be.

Thanks. Other than taste and smell I have no symptoms, so frustratingly I'm stuck inside despite feeling fine. Hence why I'm posting even more speculative transfer updates on here than usual!

Being pedantic here, but loss of taste and/or smell is one of the main symptoms. But good to know you feel okay.

The positive being you’ll be all clear for the start of the season!

Well yes, it's not great, but I just feel lucky that I'm not sat in bed feeling like someone has **** in my head and I can still do work/admin. And yes, glad I'll most probably be recovered by the time the Albion are back, and I'll hopefully get to watch Cucurella/our new striker in person!

So, let me get this right.

If an anonymous twitter account with 2,000 followers and no evidence,says that a player we are supposedly interested in, is going to another club, we believe every single word.

If an anonymous twitter account with 2,000 followers and no evidence,says that a player will be joining us, we don’t believe a word.

Have I got this right?

Did anyone stick that in google translate…

Cucurella will leave the @GetafeCF. The Premier bets on the Catalan but a final offer from @Atleti is not ruled out. His replacement will be De Frutos. Getafe will pay 8 million for 50% of the @LevanteUD player pass.

So I take that as we are still in with a shout. Not that I believe that account knows much.
