Arsenal sign Reyes

Well Seville are annoucing something

http://www.sevillafc.es/

IT FOLLOWS The KING And PRESS CONFERENCE DE JOSE MARIA Of The DIRECT NEST IN IN SFC RADIO We are to the delay of being able to them to offer in direct the press conference of the president of Seville FC and of Jose Antonio Reyes.Tan soon of beginning the same one we will connect with the press room of the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuán.

What I have no idea!

But till it's on the Arsenal site or the Press conference I won't believe it!
 
OK if he plays up front too then i'm happy. 20 Mil is a lot of cash though and is completely out of character for Arsenal to spend so much on 1 player. If it's true he better be good.

EDIT

His personal website seems to be pretty clear about it, i'd be amazed if it is true though even after all this.

He is very good, near enough every big clubs were watching him very very closely. R.Madrid + Barca had already tried to sign him. I did my research on him and asked some spanish footy fans about him a few days ago. I post on an arsenal site and got this info for them. Here is what they said

Reyes is more versatile, he can play left wing, striker, and as a link up man behind the main striker.

It really depends what u want since Joaquin and Reyes play different positions.

I think Reyes is still another year away from finding his top form although he is already maybe the best attacking left winger in the Spanish League.

Joaquin is already world class in my opinion he just suffers from playing for a minnow team.

I see both moving this summer, especially after the Euro.

As for Reyes, he certainly seems to favour a move abroad, and he likes Arsenal's style of play.

I would favour Reyes ahead of Joaquin for the simple reason that he has the edge of Joaquin in terms of consistency...certainly this season.

The fee for Reyes is more likely to be ?20m....can't see Arsenal paying much more than that.

I asked him when he said that he likes our style of play and how much he would cost
He said a while back that Arsenal would be one of his preferred clubs if he left Sevilla.

Not sure on the price, but I reckon Arsenal could persuade Sevila to accept around £13/14m.

I'd be very surprised if Reyes went to Chelsea...he would want to play every game, which wouldn't happen there.

He would be a great success at Arsenal and would fit in perfectly with their style of play. He'd have to work on his defensive qualities a bit more though if he was to play on the left of midfield permanently. He prefers to play through the middle tho...

I wouldn't bet on Arsenal lowering Reyes's price

Anything less than 20 million euros is not going to get him.

If you go lower than that than for sure u attract the attention of other clubs.

Seville are VERY high on him, they won't sell him unless they think its a real good deal.

Without Reyes, Seville is a nobody.

you really think reyes is the best left winger in la liga?

i personally prefer vicente.

Reyes has easily surpassed Vicente. Vicente has not lived up to expectations. There use to be a debate, but not anymore.

Put sky sports on, they are showing clips of him playing.
 
work :confused: ;)

When you get home watch it then :D

I really hope Arsenal.com don't come out and say he isn't coming. I think I would probably feint :( :p
 
Wenger has said he hasn't signed officially but will do after his medical which is tomarrow IIRC

It is too late now, they have accepted the offer :D
 
I don't think i've ever seeen him play before but am quite happy he is coming after doing a bit of research. Certainly a bit of a coup, wonder what kind of wages he has been offered?

Is he eligible for europe still?
 
yep it appears to be confirmed now.

£16.5million, will most likely be in parts. probs £10million now and £6.5million in the summer/appearances/success.

so the two big boys have new strike partnerships for the rest of the season. :D

Yeah he is eligible for the CL as Sevilla are a small club who would never qualify for Euro comps

Knew they weren't in champs league but don't really follow Uefa cup if we're not in it.

Sounds like a good buy :D.
