From Football365's Mediawatch, where they basically show up the media for what they are, at best incompetent, at worst serial liars.
Head over heels
Mediawatch has been left a little confused over the Daily Mirror‘s claims that Malaga are ‘digging their heels in’ over the deal which will see striker Sandro Ramirez join Everton.
‘Everton are becoming increasingly frustrated at the red tape which is blocking their capture of Sandro Ramirez,’ reads the first paragraph to the story, which adds that the Spaniard has ‘agreed to join them for a little over £5million.
‘A little over £5million’ of course translates to £5.25m, Ramirez’s release clause, which Everton are widely reported to have met. No matter how hard the La Liga side digs their heels in, there isn’t a great deal they can do about that.
Reports in Spain on Friday added that the deal is unlikely to be formally announced until Spain’s participation in the Under-21 European Championship is over. Which sounds less like like Malaga are ‘digging their heels in’, and more like Spain don’t want any distractions during a major tournament. Spoilsports.
