Gracia's complaints take effect, Valencia go in for Drinkwater

Javi Gracia hasn't held back when questioned about the transfer market and player recruitment. On several occasions, he has complained in press conferences that promises made to him by Valencia haven't been kept.

However, it seems that the saying "if you don't ask you don't get" is true. According to a report by 'Radio Esport Valencia', the club have declared their interest in Danny Drinkwater.

The club's plans are for a loan deal, without an option to buy, where Chelsea would cover part of the wage bill. It seems like this would fit in with the Blues' plans, as Frank Lampard hasn't been selecting the player.
