He used to have great stats on Champ a few years ago and he'd be a rock at the centre of my defence.
Does that help any?

The Greek did earn himself another year. I think it was in his contract that if he played a certain number of matches he would be offered an extension or something like that. I could of sworn I seen him pass me on a motorbike the other day.

Proper Bourne assassin.

The funny thing was he had his helmet on his arm but he was wearing ski goggles.

Udinese defender Cristian Zapata has revealed that he is close to agreeing a deal with Liverpool.
The Colombia international is rated as one of the best defenders in Serie A and he played a major role in helping them into the UEFA Champions League next season.
He is currently back in South America preparing for the Copa America, but he has revealed that he is in talks about leaving Italy.
The 24-year-old has stated that Liverpool and Bayern Munich have both made moves for his signature, but he admits that he is close to sealing a switch to Anfield.
Very close
Asked about his future by La FM, he said: "I do not know what to say, I can say that I am very close to Liverpool.
"At the end of the Copa America, we will see what happens with my future.
"I have gained experience, but the time has come for me to make the jump to a big team."
Zapata, who has been with Udinese for four years, plays in central defence but is also capable of playing in either full-back position.
A previous target of Arsenal, Zapata currently has two years left on his contract at the Stade Friuli.

He has great stats in FM + an ace name, why would you need to see him play?

What's not to like about Zapata 🙂
Can play anywhere across the backline if we need him, although he's most comfortable as centre back.
Good leader and plays with a maturity you'd see in a veteran - all this being highlighted through him being the vice captain.
If I was to pick the top players at Udinese, it would be - Sanchez, Zapata, Di Natale & Isla would be the ones that I think can cut it at bigger clubs.
He's been a wanted man but for some reason deals have never gone through.
I recall 2 season ago Arsenal and Real Madrid were very interested in signing him ... I think the rumoured fee back then was 9M, which even then IMO was a bargain and worth the gamble ... he's only gone to improve since then.
Quite excited with this link ... his style reminds me a lot of Ivan Cordoba in his prime for Inter.
I'd like to know the price before making a better evaluation of the signing ... he'd definitely be a big improvement to our defence, but he's not reached his full potential just yet.
