Elche chief denies Sanchez deal

Lyndon Lloyd , 11 July, 18comments | Jump to most recent

The president of Elche CF, José Sepulcre Coves, has quashed reports in the Spanish press that a deal has been agreed with Everton for Colombian international, Carlos Sanchez.

Claims were made in local Elche media and then by Futbol Mercado on Twitter that the Blues had concluded a £1.5m transfer for the 28 year-old but in a statement attributed to Sepulcre, the Spanish club's president said: "We have no knowledge of any offer from Everton by Carlos Sanchez."

No surprise Greg O'Keffe quashed this rumour the other day saying Everton had no interest.

Personally I never believe the local Elche media.

If Sepulcre's involved then this one is probably dead and buried.

I'm choosing to not believe this report and to believe the report that he's on the way.

Why should Mr Sepulcre know anything? After all, he is only the President.........

Very clever pun Neil. Sepulcre isn't a fan of free theatre tickets by all accounts.

If you refer back to the original page where it is claimed we had already signed this lad, plus the page about the young Bosnian, you will see I had clearly written 'do not believe ANYTHING about EFC until you see the player on a picture in a room with Bob and a scarf'

With EFC, it's never an easy or a sure thing.

I think we ALL agree to that point Ant. If you want to take credit for that ... then great! :)

Is there any team out there that has more shenanigans when it comes to transfers? Does this happen to any other team even half as much??

Not just paper rubbish, but players with "done deals" or in for medicals getting turned away?

Really makes me sick about Everton... Yet again we the fans get played for the fools.

Until the player is in Royal Blue shirt, standing beside Roberto getting his picture taken, don't believe anything anyone reports. The rest is interesting but not to be taken too seriously.

Well I'm no doubting Peter, so I fully expect the resurrection of this story tomorrow and the rock to be moving.
