efc1111 Posted July 27, 2013 Report Posted July 27, 2013 (edited) Sunday Mirror reckons Roberto is interested in Sevilla midfielder Gary Medel, a 25-year-old midfielder nicknamed 'The Pitbull'. Could be available for around £6m: http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/everton-transfers-gary-medel-sevilla-2096255? Everton boss Roberto Martinez is trying to raise £6million to fuel a swoop for Chilean midfield general Gary Medel, writes the Sunday People. Martinez wants the Sevilla star to join his Latin quarter at Goodison and will go for him if he can generate the funds. Sevilla have been open to offers for their best players this summer, and Medel would be interested in coming to the Premier League. The aggressive, but skilful, 25-year-old is exactly the type of player Martinez wants - particularly if Marouane Fellaini leaves the Blues and Wigan’s James McCarthy proves too expensive. Medel is known as ‘The Pitbull’ because of his tackling and defensive ability and is renowned for his man-marking performances against Lionel Messi in recent La Liga battles. He would bring a new steel to the Everton midfield. New Toffees manager Martinez does not have that type of player at his disposal, and has been tipped off that the price will be within his reach if he can come up with the cash.

Ten Posted July 28, 2013 Report Posted July 28, 2013 He's a nutter, but a very good player. Noone would go through our midfield aha. Shame he'd probably be sent off a fair few times a season.
Sibdane Posted July 28, 2013 Report Posted July 28, 2013 Would absolutely love to have in the team. I've always admired his play. Fearthainn 1
Peter H Posted July 28, 2013 Report Posted July 28, 2013 Meh, medel means average in Swedish. Hope he isnt.
Cake Posted July 28, 2013 Report Posted July 28, 2013 Do we have the cash left for him? We'll have £26m left for him after spending £15m on McCarthy from the £41m we get for Fellaini and Baines
