another Pablo Aimar update
By: j | July 15th, 2008
Yes, I know - ANOTHER Pablo Aimar update. However with the situation apparently winding down, it is quite clear that if Kevin Keegan wants him with Newcastle this year they will have to act fast. Reports are circulating that while Newcastle has presented a very favourable late contract offer to Pablo Aimar’s agent, Gustavo Mascardi, they may have come in too-late or need to sweeten the deal. Management of Real Zaragoza certainly doesn’t need a lesson in hardball as even though they are doomed to relegation, they have reputedly made it known that it’ll take roughly €7.5 m to get the deal done. Rui Costa, Football Director of Benfica went through extensive talks with the players agent and Benfica’s principal shareholder, to make sure this deal is settled and they have Pablo as a part of Quique Flores squad.

It’s a strange situation because while I’m not convinced that this is the best use of 7.5 million, the publicized rumors about transfers at the club is so quiet that I’m not sure who else this money should be spent on. So…KK, go get Aimar unless there are better options. Which there very well could be.

Gustavo Mascardi stands to make quite a bit of cash before the start of this next season. He also represents Roberto Ayala who is looking at coming back to River Plate in Argentina a three 3 million euro deal and Andrés D’Allesandro who is looking at a possible transfer from San Lorenzo de Almagro in Argentina to Inter of Porto Alegre in Brazil in a 7 million dollar deal.
As far as Pablo Aimar is concerned, I have my doubts about his ability to adapt to the English game quick enough. I have to venture, a season lost to adaptation and you have to take into account that Newcastle do not play with one play-maker in their formation which is how he’s used to playing. Let’s hope he shuts me up should this deal come to the Toon.
