Tottenham Hotspur manager Juande Ramos has taken his time, but he has finally turned his eye back to his old club. The Spaniard has cast a look over a few members of his ex-Sevilla team and finally made a move this week.
Ramos submitted a bid for 20-year-old wiger Diego Capel, who is valued at around £14million. Sevilla showed they had no intention of letting one of their prize assests move to White Hart Lane by rejecting the bid.
Capel has a clause in his contract that allows him to leave should an offer of a certain value come in, but this applies only to Spanish clubs, meaning the Rojiblancos were free to bat away Tottenham’s advances, as president Jose Maria del Nido told the club’s official website:
He has a clause in his contract which is only valid for a Spanish team.
We do not negotiate with any figure less than that. Tottenham made a superior bid and we said no.
Capel is highly regarded at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán, but it is thought that he does have his price. Ramos will have to go higher than the reported £12m bid he lodged this week to capture one of the youngsters that flourished under his guidance.

If you actually quoted the whole interview you would see that Nido says he thinks (Which is a tad funny as they have his contract and im sure that FIFA will be getting a ring) that is the case as he doesn’t know and they weren’t sure it would stand and the fact that we only paid over the get out clause was so they would not take us to court which the club already think would go in our favour but would just be a nuisance for the up coming season. See this is what happens when you play chinese whispers with News stories.

Capel will be in Tottenham next season. I like him very much in Sevilla but Juande Ramos will take him to Tottenham. He is very fast and has lots of skill and will be good in Premier League

I think that Mr Ramos is a shrewd manager who is more than capable of taking Tottenham to the very top of the premier league, one of the components he requires to do this is the very talented Diego Capel. In the signings he has already made Jaunde Ramos has laid a new strategic foundation with the particular skill, strength and pace that make a succesful side. He will obviously go for Diego Capel to fill the void in Tottenhams left midfield as he knows the player well and has helped develope him into the wonderful player he is, he still has the problem of his main strikers looking for a path to greater personal achievements but if they consider the potential midfield for the coming season of Capel, Huddlestonme, Modric and possibly Bentley then this should tell them that they could potentialy be the highest scoring partenership in the premiership for well over a decade with the pinpoint crosses and through balls this amazing midfield could deliver. This said I am obviously hoping that Mr Ramos presses on with signing the two highly talented wingers Capel and Bentley.
