Info on Coates:
Quote:
Nacional vice-president Hector Olmes has confirmed that the club have received an offer from Liverpool for Sebastian Coates and said he expects the centre-back to move to Anfield.
But Nacional vice president Olmes has confirmed the Liverpool bid - thought to be around £8 million - has them in pole position to sign Coates and the player's father and agent, Peter, is reportedly heading to Merseyside to discuss personal terms with the Reds.
"The offer is very good. Surely Coates will go to Liverpool," Olmes replied when asked about Liverpool's interest.
And Coates himself has talked up the prospect of linking up with international team-mate Luis Suarez at Anfield.
"It's a club with great history and tradition in England," he told Ovacion. "Also, Luis [Suarez] would be a great help to me there. The offer suits all concerned, so it's fair to say it's a done deal."
On adapting to life in England, he said: "I don't care about the weather. When I get there, I'll get used to that and anything else as well. I'm more or less getting to grips with the English language, but I'll have to get Luis to give me a hand.

I like his attitude, theres a lot of hockey players that could learn a thing or two from him. Hes moving halfway around the world and he shrugs his shoulders, they balk at moving a few hundred miles and complain like crazy about the weather.
Anyhow, look out Daniel Agger, better get those injury concerns sorted, this kid is the real deal. One of the 'up and coming' CBs.
