Capel prefers to stay in Spain - Agent

Spanish newspaper, Marca, has stated that Spurs are extremely interested in Sevilla's left-winger, Diego Capel. His agent, however, has rubbished the chance of the highly talented player joining Tottenham Hotspur.

In an interview with Marca, Diego Capel's agent, Rene Ramos, stated that Diego [Capel] has an exit clause in his contract with Sevilla. The clause is €12 million (approximately £9.5 million). Mr. Ramos went on to say;

"Diego may or may not be leaving Sevilla. His future has yet to be arranged as Mr. José Maria del Nido (Sevilla's president) has yet to offer my client a contract that he is worthy of."

When asked if the rumours about an exit clause were true, Rene went onto comment;

"Diego's current contract has a legal exit fee that is €12 million. If a club wanted to talk with Diego, they would first have to prove that they can pay the entire fee to Real Federación Española de Fútbol (Spanish F.A.) and then would arrange to negotiate a contract with my client. If we agree to negotiations with a club, Diego's registration will be surrendered by Sevilla."

"Two English Premier League clubs have shown an interest in Diego as well as Real. No club has yet to make their definite interest known with a bid to the Real Federación Española de Fútbol. All the clubs interested know what they need to do."

"Diego is not to sure about leaving Spain though at this point in his career. He is still young and would welcome a move away from his home in the future possibly."

So there you have it. Maybe all of this talk by his agent is to get Sevilla to up the money on a new contract. After all, Diego Capel is a die-hard Sevilla fan as well as being a local of the Andalusian club.

If the reports that we are prepared to make the €12 million bid are accurate, there maybe a chance that he will come to Spurs. He would solve the left-wing position and should slot easily into the way we play thanks to Juande Ramos, who was once Capel's manager at Sevilla.

  1. Would love to have him at the Lane, but if not then i think Giovani will solve that left wing problem. Get Bentley in and we'll have great options on either wing, with Giovani, Malbranque, Lennon and Bentley. All are capable of playing on either wing.
  2. Last week you ran a story saying Bentley was signing by Friday. I dont suppose you could help people out a bit more by stating which Friday this could be!And if you could add a year it would help. I can see it now, ''The year Bentley turns 32 and he signs for Spurs, THBN reports, we got this exclusive right''

    SO HOW DID IT GO - WHERE IS HE??????
  4. Come on Lional... it was a load of bollocks they where jumping on the back of the headlines in the standard. Spurs may be one of a nmber of teams intersted in Bentley but he certainly has NOT signed for anyone or is even close. It not out the question that he will stay with Blackburn.

    Notice that they removed the date of the which tuesday he would be taking th medical orgnially they posted todays date. That was changed to just to say Tuesday. They simply make it up as they go along!! Paul is right it just to claim look at my exclsive if he does sign.
  5. if we sign capel, gomes, bentley and a decent striker we should be set for the season and when i mean decent striker i mean a top striker that could fill berbas boots if he leaves, i quite like santa cruze, hes young and knows where the goal is.
    as for bentley signing i think all these rumors aint doing us any good cos we tend to belive them and we are constantly in front of the teletext or sky sports news i personally dont think it will happen in the near futcher if it happens at all
  6. why doesnt all this schpill about bentley go away, lets talk about it if we see him in a spurs shirt, or anyone for that matter. youd swear it was lionel messi we were talking about!
  7. it only being mentioned on here to show what a pile of crap this site spouts. I dont want bentley to sign, id rather my gran played on the right than him and she died a couple of years ago.
  8. The Bentley signing will happen you ignorant bastards! Okay, so this site and a whole host of others got the date wrong.

    Just get over it!

    I was also told that Bentley would have had his medical on Tuesday.

    If any of you visit the proper Spurs forums (COYS, etc), an abundance of ITK's would have sworn their life on Bentley signing for us by now.

    The fact remains that he will sign for us and that my friends, is a fact!

    The Capel thing seems a bit strange as a lot of supposed ITK's have said that we are very close to signing the fellow.

    I'll just wait and see on that one.

  9. Cotas, The onlt 'ignorant bastards' around here is the person that has to abuse others for having there own say. It's bad enough when you get fans from other clubs slagging people off but when you get our own fans doing it, it a pity.

    Never mind be sure to be careful on the way to school

    How would Dos Santos solve our left midfield 'problem' when he is predominantly right footed and, er, a striker.
  11. My man Japers told me its a done deal....you heard it here first folks...
  12. Actually Anon 8:23, Giovanni is predominantly left footed as anyone who's actually seen him play will tell you, and although he can play up front, he has mainly been used in midfield for club and country so playing on the left wing is a lot more likely than as a striker, especially since he's smaller than a smurf. I can't see Capel signing as we are sorted on the left and if Real want him anyway it's a no-brainer. Bentley looks more likely as, in his own words, he wants to move to London and play in Europe. Arsenal won't have him back, Chelsea is a little bit out of his league, leaving only us (who he allegedly supported as a kid). It all depends on whether Ramos actually wants him though. No one seems to have thought about that.
