Incoming? Alex Collado

[Belvedere Blade]

Sheffield United have made an offer to sign a Barcelona player, report Mundo Deportivo
The man in question is Alex Collado. He’s a 22-year-old who came through La Masia, having also had a spell with Espanyol much earlier in his career. Mainly a right winger, he can also play through the middle or on the left.

Mundo Deportivo say Sheffield United have made an offer to take the player on loan for the current season, and they’re willing to cover his whole wage packet. As it stands, Collado is considering his situation and waiting to see if a better offer than a move to the Championship comes in, but he’s clearly running out of time.

Club Brugge and Braga have also been keen this summer, however, negotiations with both clubs are said to have failed.

This is a random one. I hope it’s true but bet it isn’t

"Collado is considering his situation and waiting to see if a better offer than a move to the Championship comes in"

seems to be a common theme

Captains Barcelona’s B side and was tipped to break into the first team a few years ago he’s a decent player.

"Unstoppable"... for Barcelona B

Looks like he's got what we need in abundance... creativity

 

[robbiez666]

Not sure what he'd be like with a couple of kicks but can shoot, take set pieces and beat a player.

 

[YES Blade]

We desperately need a winger or two, so for that reason alone I hope he signs

 

[Yogi]

I hope he signs but given the clubs he’s already turned down this summer it’s highly unlikely bordering on ludicrous that he would see us as an attractive proposition

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

Lets not pretend any of us know anything about him

 

[Roygbiv]

Just sign him

 

[Bookers Mullet]

file this one in the 'no chance' folder

 

[Revolution]

Barcelona B is in the regional third division. They have recently reduced the number of third divisions from 5 to 2.

The standard at that level is not very good.

 

[Rodley]

I’m reaching the point where I’d sign absolutely anyone just to prove the fax machine isn’t in a skip somewhere

 

[Macfarlane21]

Probably a more realistic look at what he offers

 

[Bladeinleeds]

He Probably can’t even get into the country in time to sign.

Move on

 

[Wards]

I’ve still got a Juanpi shaped void in my life. This could go some way to filling it.

 

[Torrix1889]

Another pointless thread linking us with another player we have fuck all chance of signing.

It's getting silly now

 

[Snowflake]

I hope he signs but given the clubs he’s already turned down this summer it’s highly unlikely bordering on ludicrous that he would see us as an attractive proposition

A year abroad playing regular football, what has he got to lose ?

 

[Greasy Chap Butty]

Will he have enough visa points playing in a Spanish lower league?

 

[Yogi]

Nothing but he’s already turned down Brugge this summer which probably indicates he sees himself playing at a high level.

What do you mean? It’s the lad’s dream to leave Barcelona for a life in Sheffield.

 

[ISZA ⚔️]

At this point just sign the cunt.

 

[Snowflake]

Nothing but he’s already turned down Brugge this summer which probably indicates he sees himself playing at a high level.

At some time he may realise he cannot, yet.

 

[Snowflake]

What do you mean? It’s the lad’s dream to leave Barcelona for a life in Sheffield.

Not his dream, but the chance to live abroad for 10 months and play regular football.
Barcelona will still be there next June

 

[Yogi]

At some time he may realise he cannot, yet.

He may do but I think there will probably be more attractive destinations than us out there for him. I hope I’m wrong but it looks unrealistic like many of the other links we’ve had this summer.

I think Barca turned down Brugge not the player

 

[ShropsBlade]

Genuinely feels like we are trying to sign players we know full well we can’t get at this point.

No he left Barcelona’s summer training camp to go and talk to Brugge it was all agreed between the clubs
