Robert Barnes 19 Posted August 11, 2011 News: Nigel Pearson admits Hull City''s bid to sign Daniel Ayala is now ''dead in the water'' reports the Liverpool defender is set to complete a move to Norwich City. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,635 Posted August 11, 2011 I thought he was going to Swansea, but would be pretty happy if we got him - c/b is possibly the one area where we might need someone. Perhaps Pacheco''s experiences here, together with PL/Dalglish links will do us another favour. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Budapest Canary 152 Posted August 12, 2011 At first glance I didn''t see much point in signing a dead Mexican composer, but then... I Lambert we trust, don''t we? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,283 Posted August 12, 2011 Sorry but if Ayala who has played 5 senior appearnces for Liverpool is around 850K then I would value Pacheco at 700K so more like 1.5 million in my book, but to be fair I would bite their hand off for both players at 3 million!Bags of potential and help to settle both of them in coming from the same club together not to mention the Spanish link too.

Yorkshire Canary 118 Posted August 12, 2011 It should become clearer today if there is any substance in the link.There was a bit in the EDP this morning but it was only really recycling the Hull comments and was has been said before. Does sound a good prospect though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhatCanary 0 Posted August 12, 2011 Now on SSN,PL confifms we are in talks and hope to sign him next week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canary_on_the Trent 0 Posted August 12, 2011 Cracking signing for the price i''ve heard being quoted. He was the best player on the park when Hull robbed us of 3pts at Carrow Road.He''s got the attributes you''d expect of a Spanish defender, likes to get on the ball and play from the back but also loves to head the ball and put his body on the line.

Mr Brownstone 0 Posted August 12, 2011 It''s one of 2 items on the Sky Sports ''Breaking News'' ticker this morning, along with Fabregas and Nasri being left out of the Arsenal squad. It only says that we''ve made a bid, nothing about talks or anything being agreed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lincs CR 0 Posted August 12, 2011 Would be a great signing, especially if it''s around the price Hull had accepted! Definitely has all the attributes to be a consistent Premier League defender given some time and a little more nurturing.De Laet, Barnett, Whitbread, Ward, Ayala = looks like enough to keep us up imo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bjg123 0 Posted August 12, 2011 My uncle, who''s a Derby season ticket holder, described him as "top draw" and he sounds like he''d fit in very well he, plays it out of defence, keeping the ball on the ground, always looking up. Said while he was at Derby he was their stand-out player.Quite excited about it, maybe he''ll bring Dani with him... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cityislife 0 Posted August 12, 2011 Some real competition at Centre Back now, Ward, Whitbred, Barnett, Ayala, Still think Whitbred and barnett are first choice but both recovering/injury prone. Should be solid! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Militant Canary 0 Posted August 12, 2011 "Crusade of truth"- rhetorical nonesense and a little scary.Besides which, I''ve found that Mail readers are primarily comprived of the ''ignorant reactionary outspoken''. People who think in very narrow terms and consider their opinion as gospel. Generally loud about it, as well.Before I get a reaction, I am an officer in the British Army, a veteran of two tours and decorated for courage under fire. I am also a pro-europe liberal, son of an immigrant, and I loves my country. COME AND GET ME! On Ayala: Good news! I hear nothing but good things. On my count, that makes 6 centre backs, as I count Francomb. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
