There's no real depth, why the club is trying to land Nolito
I suspect the reason they try to land Nolito is because Lucho thinks he can play in Suarez' position, not because we desperately need a backup for Ney when he is out.
Both Sport and MD saying we won't sign Nolito.
Not a bit surprised by this news since the Deal we offered wasn't very good.
Tell me why? They will get easily Barca to overpay for Nolito right now, no other club will pay them that much, not now, definetliy not in the summer. Yes, they have to wait a cash transfer for 6 months, but money is still money in the summer. So, if they do want to cash in Nolito, it is now. It really comes to that- cash in or not and hope that Nolito will deliver.
Nolito is Celta's most important player and after selling Augusto they weren't in a position to loan him for 6 months for free (A 2 million penalty in summer is not an incentive when his fee is 18 million)..Even a loanee in return is getting less since even Barcelona value Nolito more
It was ill conceived, not sure why Barto et al were convinced Celta would be so stupid or perhaps they thought the player would pressure the club (which he didn't)
Based on the club statutes that were amended, they never had the money to truly acquire a winger of quality in this window without forcing new elections in the summer which would threaten their mandate...It's simply terrible management
