I’ve seen rumours for him in the past, but seeing how he’s played recently, i’d pass.
I thought the clause was obligatory. Is it still an option?
Wouldn´t vote for Draxler neither, high talent, low mentality player imo. Not a player who is gonna go above and beyond something to win a game for the team, Not the player I prefer to see we go after.
I think he’d be an upgrade on the left wing, but wages will be the big issue.
Liverpool is willing to trigger 75M clause for Diego Carlos next summer according to eldesmarque
I think just cover for Banega’s eventual move back home. Probably coming up this summer.
Losing Diego would suck if it happened in January. I bet if he does go, he will be a SFC player until the summer. He’s too important for 2019-2020’s run.

The Suso thing keeps coming around. Monchi is obviously a big fan as he tried to sign him while in Rome.
One new one that I’ve seen pop up today is Alcacer being linked. With Dabbur seeming very Likley to be at Sporting until the end of the season. I would really like to see that happen.

Welcome to the group Brett! How did you discover us?
Suso does keep coming up and is probably a cheaper option to Draxler. Hard to believe that we can afford Paco.

Suso’s not bad, but he relies to much on his trademark move to cut inside on his left and shoot. Not bad having another decent Spanish player amongst us, but a winger is something we don’t need right now. Agents are using Sevilla’s name again!
Paco was nice at Dortmund & Valencia, but we’ll see. And if Dabbur leaves, i’ll be glad for him. I feel he’s been under appreciated.
Oh, and welcome @BrettR!

Hi Chris, thanks for the welcome. For some random reason I just googled sevilla English supporters clubs and this site came up. Thought I’d have a look and join in.
I don’t believe Dortmund are asking for much in terms of a fee. They might even let him out on loan until the summer. May get more intrest then. I’d put a cheeky loan offer in and see.
Must admit I’m still abit underwhelmed on how Hernandez and De Jong have done and would like to see someone else come in. Would loved to see Dabbur get more of a chance. Saying that I was buzzing when we signed Andre Silva and after his first few game I put a bet on for him to be league top scorer. How wrong was I haha.
Do you all feel we will do some business in Jan?
I don’t think Monchi has ever left a window go by without doing any business. I do think we still need a RB, cause even Lope brings in Kounde to play there at times. And if we get a decent CF to start over De Jong i’ll be satisfied.
If i had my sporting director hat on, i’d go for Aguirregabiria from Alaves & Josef Martínez from Atlanta FC.
Don’t really want Suso, if he was any good other clubs would have snapped him up by now. He is only seen as the leading force for Milan as everyone around him falters. The only players I want from Milan is Theo Hernandez or Ricardo Rodriguez but the latter has become really pedestrian in San Siro. Luis Alberto is a better bet for me, he looks sharper than last season and Lazio may be willing to sell.
Dabbur is a sad story, hopefully he can flourish in Sporting, just add in a no opposition clause in case we meet up in Europa.
Paco is an excellent finisher but I doubt BVB would let him go for anything less than 40m, if he’s going anywhere it’s probably back to Valencia.

Few reports online linking us with Raul de Tomas. Must admit I don’t know much about him. But doesn’t appear to be in any world changing form at benfica. We need to be aiming abit bigger really
Wow, that’s a big prediction. He would be the most expensive sale in MLS history for sure.
I think that Paco Alcacer would be the best real option for us in this winter transfer window. Borussia has now Haaland and it is option to sign him. For Dabbur is the best option to go on loan, so he can prove his worth. In my opinion, if Chicarito get any solid offer, he can go.

I think we should ship out Dabbur & Chicarito and put in a cheeky bid for Chimy Ávila his clause is 25m.

Hell yes!
Scored those with both feet too. It’s asking a lot to get a player to settle into a new squad so quickly, but we’re hella desperate. We need another Jovetic. 
Been scoring bangers for a while now. He’s one of those players with “that special something.” I reckon he’d get along with our Argentine contingent.
He is absolutely electric and owning the league but I have reservations about players who jump from the MLS to another league as it’s usually the other way round.
The most expensive transfer from the MLS was Miguel Almiron last January who went to Newcastle United for 21 million. He went scoreless in that season and has scored 1 goal this season so far. There is a certain risk involved but if we could send them Chicharito and get Josef on loan for half a season that could see how he fares.
Totally a good player, but I can’t imagine him being sold for less than 25 - 30 million and that’s a huge risk to take.
I’d rather take the safer 25 million bet on Chimy if that’s true that he only has that as a buy out.
Almiron is a good player, but I think it is much harder to transfer to a new league as a midfielder than it is as a striker.
