Late on Wednesday evening, news came that offensive midfielder Sebastian Eguren will join Villarreal C.F. from Spain until the summer on a loan. It's not surprising in that sense that Eguren has been totally dominant in Swedish premier division Allsvenskan last year, but for Hammarby supporters it's a hard blow since no one saw it coming.
It was in the nick of time for Villarreal, as they say, since the International Transfer Window closes tomorrow at 24:oo hours.
On the field, Eguren is a true leader that never stop play until the referee has blown the final whistle. I've ever been impressed by Eguren's capability to perform in every game and he has a distinct habit to close big matches with deciding goals.
For Hammarby, this deal has an economically and perhaps in a longer term also a sporting positive side to it. Bajen receives cash for the loan period, and probably also a sum for an option to buy Eguren if Villarreal wants to this summer.
If Eguren is sold, it will most likely be the largest transfer fee of all times for Hammarby.
With the cash that Hammarby receives now, they probably have the funds to go ahead and close the deal with goalkeeper Rami Shaaban from Fredrikstad. For many Bajen supporters, a signing of Rami's magnitude is a decider for the coming season.
Villarreal C.F. is currently in position three in La Liga, the Spanish premier division.
