Blues interested in Atletico's Aquino

 Comments (16)  jump
Everton "lead the race" to sign Atletico Madrid forward, Daniel Aquino, according to 101 Great Goals citing Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio.

The report claims that the 23 year-old striker is being watched by a number of European sides, including Metz and Waregem, despite playing just one first-team game since January 2013. He has apparently been impressing for Atletico's reserve team.

Just because he has a Spanish name doesn't make him good enough. We need to be signing the kind of striker who makes our mouth water and scares the crap out of the Sky 5. This kid struggles to get goals in the reserves. Unless he is very cheap or free... no thank you. Rather spend £15 Million on Bony!

We shouldn't be competing against Metz and Waregem for players...

Didn't think he might be good just because he has a Spanish
name.More the fact that Roberto is apparently interested in him.And given,amongst other things,his Spanish connections that's good enough for me.

And I wouldn't give anywhere near £15 million for Bony.

Di Marzio is pretty on the ball as regards transfer talk and I am far more inclined to believe anything he has to say than your average rag.

Having the same targets as supposed lesser clubs is a nonsense. We could unearth a cheap gem and if not then he can be moved on. Throwing 20 million at people like Lukaku and Bony isn't necessarily going to work out, it may do, but it is a risk. We do not have huge wages or CL to offer the top players.

I'm not so sure we will splash the cash this summer unless someone goes for big money. I'd rather we buy smart in a few different positions and gradually improve the squad.

RM should be looking at that young Dutch striker Op'aal Fruut. He was made to make your mouth water.

Exciting times ahead no doubt Peter, but there's no proof that this is anything more than lazy journalism.

Bony... 46 goals in 65 games in the Eredivisie. 24 this term in a substandard team. He's clinical, strong, quick and consistent. Don't rule him out my friend. The boy's a beast.

As for Op'aal Fruut. Heard he's a bit of a lemon!

All I can say if he's as good as Deulofeu he can stay where he is !!

Jason, did you hear that on the 'grape' vine?

Remember, we have Traore, who we will have on loan next season. He will be like a new signing.

The rumours will abound especially those with the Spanish connection.

Everton have a pretty full squad at the moment and I think it may be worth thinking of who will be let go first before who will be coming in.

Obviously we all want to see new faces to strengthen the squad and money as usual will dictate the situation. Certainly not getting to Champions League was a big blow but the basis is there for a big challenge next season.

£15 million would get us both Darren Bent & Danny Welbeck, plus we'd get change too. No more shite Spaniards, tar, Bobby!

Darren Bent? Fucking hell, please no. The guy gets shoved on by a Villa team lacking goals and cant get into a relegated team. Talented or not, he must either be shit in training or a complete tit.

Charlie, I don't think Traore is the answer. Alcaraz, Robles and Kone have also been dire signings. Bony is a different matter.

Could be wrong though.... Jo has been picked for the Brazil squad ahead of Kaka and Pato, so beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder.

Steve Brown(#272) Regarding Charlie Percival 's post (#151), it may be beneficial to look up the word 'irony' when you get a moment.
