Victor Caceres

[adsfortheblues]

Paraguay last year reached the final after winning only one game all the way through the competition (excluding penalty-shoot outs), mainly down to solid defensive displays, keeping 3 clean sheets along the way 1 of which was against brazil, and caceres was instrumental in those defensive performances. He's just what we need for sure.

[martypellowe]

From the limited videos I can see of him on Youtube, he reminds me of a young David Dunn. Some clumsy challenges but happy to stick a boot in when needed and seems to have a decent pass on him too. He's also not two yards behind the pace compared to the modern day Dunn

Not really suited to the softest league in the world then

What about next season?

I don't honestly care if he racks up bookings and misses the odd game if he does what's needed to help find a clean sheet for once.

Besides, the south american teams are hardly rough and tumble types and he seems ok with that. And with Andy Johnson on our side there's one less diver to roll about crying

[bluebruce]

The prem isn't anywhere near the softest league. La liga is far softer for starters. You can find many examples of foreign players here saying the refs let a lot more go here.

[hi-jaq]

This fella caught my eye in the world cup, top player, and if we get him on a good deal then he'll do well for us whether we stay up or go down I hope he adapts quickly though.

While we are on the subject of Paraguayans we should be sticking in a cheeky loan bid for Lucas Barrios, I'm sure I read somewhere that he's not happy at his current club (one can only dream!!!)

[RTM08]

Could be a great signing. Was hoping we'd go in for Jermaine Jones again, but that seems a non-starter, especially looking at the finances.

[Brfcrule1]

if what is said is true this guy could just be the Jermaine Jones replacement we have been looking for a midfield terrier in the middle to break up play and spray passes forward could be just what is needed and would certainly have this guy over jogger any day.

[philipl]

This is the one signing on the radar I really hope we make.

[deryck guyler's spoon]

I expect that "interest" in this player will be another distant memory (Pappis Cisse) come the 1st February.

Same here.. would love to see this lad arrive but after the likes of witsel and co in the summer.. hmm

[Hekla]

Only 26 too, would be a brilliant signing.

[USABlue]

Not happening then?

Not happening then?

According to podcast 22 we are waiting to shift someone out first. Possibly Andrews to Wigan?

Can't happen until we shift someone, Andrews seems favourite with Wigan the most likely destination but it's taking an age.

The people I have talked say that Caceres would cost around £1.5-£2 million due to his contract situation.

They can't wait until the last minute to do this one due to the player needing a work permit etc.

[Hekla]

It sucks having no money when the likes of these players are available for cheap prices, would love to sign him and Maynard.

[braddock]

Is the hold up more likely to be wages or fee? It doesn't matter how cheap he is, if we are looking to cut the wage bill the transfer fee isn't all to relevant, especially if they think they may be losing some players anyway (Samba). If its the fee that's the hold up and they are waiting for sales then it's nice to see they aren't banking on the Samba money and they will stand firm if need be.

Apparently its wages. Need to get some of the old guard off the wage bill. I would like to see Maynard and Caceres in. Not sure who this loan is that Kammy has mentioned being close to.

Would also love to see these two join us. Think they would be good additions and wouldnt desert us if we did go down. If we shifted roberts n andrews and brought in these two, that would be good business.

[Veevs]

Still no movement on this one.. from the podcast it is reliant on Andrews leaving.. oh dear..

Also get the feeling that given the selection of targets (at least Kean is looking to fix a major problem position I suppose) the best option (i.e. this lad) is the fallback option should the others fail. Mainly because he would cost something... will be keeping my fingers crossed.

Just read on the site calciomercato that Rubin Kazan want him but that it is a complex deal...

Is "complex deal" code for "third party owned"?

[Oklahoma]

Probably.

Most players in Portugal have a third party owner and some of them ended up playing in England (Ramires and David Luiz, for example). Don't know what is the big deal.

[roverandout]

cant see how he can be an improvement on nzonzi and dunn/petrovic, will just clutter up an already average midfield.
