Jose Maria Del Nido Strikes Again
By: Ryan | April 9th, 2008
Anyone who reads this blog (all 4 of you) realize I love Jose Maria del Nido and all of the lovely things that comes from his greedy, sketchy lawyer mouth. Look at what a stud he is, in all his Feria de Abril glory, hanging out in his fancy caseta
Today, Del Nido came out with a pure classic. Talking about Dani Alves and his supposed desire to leave for Barcelona, the Sevilla president had this to say.
“Por 25 millones de euros le mando al Barcelona las botas de Daniel Alves para que se las ponga un lateral del filial. Es quizás el mejor lateral derecho que hay actualmente en el mundo, y mi ilusión es que continúe los cuatro años que tiene”
For 25 million Euro, I’ll send Barcelona Dani Alves’s cleats so that a youth squad player can wear them. He’s possibly the best right back in the world and my hope is that he will stay here for the four years he has
Haha. What balls this guy has. I swear, the best things come out of this guy’s mouth. Basically he just told Laporta to screw off, and Dani Alves isn’t going anywhere.
Later in the convo, Del Nido denies that anyone has contacted him about the Brazilian, but does say that he won’t talk to anyone until the season is over.
It just so happens that this comes out of the Madridista AS, which sticks it to the Catalans any chance they get. But Del Nido knows how to deal, I’ll tell you that. He’s not afraid to stick his neck out there and say something stupid, but its what he’s known for. Well, that and the whole Malaga deal, but that’s neither here nor there! Jeje.

I love his rhetoric, I think he is simply toting that Sevilla is among the big boys now and not a simple canterano factory for Real, Barca and the others. I am confident that Atletico will slip and Sevilla will finish off how they should have began la Liga. Everything is possible!
P.S
Come on, I am sure you got more than four reading your posts. It’s nice to hear from fellow American Sevillistas. You are doing a great job, keep it up!Posted from

Del Nido is such a character. He’s like the Arsene Wenger o f La Liga, but he hasn’t lost the cantera, nor the Spanish heart of the team. He’s such a number cruncher. What a card! And brilliant too. Keep the quotes comin’.

Hey Ryan, any truth to the rumor that Sevilla are interested in signing Javier Saviola from Real Madrid? He’s been on offer to Lazio or Napoli as well.
Thanks

Hey Ryan,
What on earth are cleats? Are they what we call boots on the other side of the pond?I translated it as boots on my site and you just had me scrambling around for the original quotes thinking I’d misread it.

Cleats are boots, wooh sometimes I think the Europeans have a thing or two to learn about soccer…
Del Nido is great, he is like Palermo’s, Porto’s and Lyon’s president in the way he speaks his mind. Except he isnt a match fixer like Portos’, a serial coach sacker like Palermos’ or a shrewd business man like Lyons’. He is just a guy tryin to do right for his club.

Mauro,
I’m not sure about the Saviola thing, I haven’t heard much. I’ll keep my eye out for the next couple weeks though to see if anything comes up.
