Deal of the window in Spain in your opinion Luke? Afellay is a snip at €4m odd, but I’m also hearing great things about Jonas, Valencia’s new signing…
Hard to disagree with Jonas simply because of his price tag (around €1m). But he’s also a very good player, and will score plenty assuming he has no problems settling in etc. Great competition for Soldado and Aduriz, and arguably more talented than both.
Think Ivan Rakitic will be good as well, exactly what Sevilla are lacking in midfield. Also came in fairly cheap too with his contract running out at Schalke. Looks well suited to Spanish football from what I’ve seen.
Couple more that need adding: Diego Alves (to Valencia) and Ander Herrera (to Athletic), both agreed in January, but both won’t move until next season. Both brilliant.
