He isn't, but he'd still be comfortably above your current set of "strikers".

IIRC one of the reasons Zaragoza sold him is that he failed to get one and they needed his non-EU player roster spot for Suazo.

Linked to the Zaragoza gig recently.

Didn't stop him last time around.

That's how he was called down here at least.

I love watching Lee play personally, the guy is built like a matchstick but has absolutely no fear of running at people and dodging crunching tackles. And he has the end product.

http://www.goal.com/en/news/584/brazil/2011/01/06/2293493/palmeiras-terminate-ewerthon-contract-report Looks like injury related since he has barely played since.

FWIW he was at €2m/year at Zaragoza. I think that translates to around 35k/week.

Looked like he didn't give a shit last year at Zaragoza but the best free player out there by a comfortable margin. I he recaptured his pre-2009 form he'd be great.

Ewerthon isn't that old, if you made him feel arsed again he was quality not that many years ago.

Real Madrid tonight please EDIT: Although you probably can't use your betting jinx powers for Good, that would make them useful.

Only non-American club in that list, fun.

Interesting stat off "As". Cronaldo has already played more football than in the entirety of last season (although he missed a month of that one through injury). He is indeed looked a bit more subdued lately. Xabi Alonso to play against his boyhood team tonight.

Stoke seemed to get away with some blatant fouling on the keeper the few times I dared put that game on, though.

May is a better bet for weather, but Salou Ugly, overdeveloped s***hole. Never understood why all the English tourists are bused there.

April is a great month to be around here if you avoid the rain.

Was actually a rather average game. We weren't brilliant but Atlético didn't have much fight in them bar a spell at the beginning of the second half. Seems they have given up on the season already.

De Gea, so brilliant.

Give him a break, got some crazy bargains

Barça - Atlético in 90m should be another cracker to end the night. 5,5 goals on average the past 5 years (or something ridiculous like that). And I'm stuck in Zaragoza.

Just DON'T bet on us, please. DON'T.

Losing your unbeaten run against the bottom team, where have I seen this happen before...
