Delima Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Perhaps he could play ball playing defensive midfielder - with his Brazillian football education and his centre back defensive background. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewellander Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 At this time last year we signed Onyewu on loan. I'm not convinced this is a better signing. I hope I'm wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why aren't you convinced? - Because Onyewu wasn't a decent signing last season or have you seen this player on enough occassions to be able to pass judgement?

MiamiMag Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 marca.com in non-Borat speak: Alvaro will travel to England Wednesday to undertake a medical with Newcastle, after reacheing an agreement with the Valencian club for his transfer to the British club and after being assured of the completion of the Spanish club's requirements. Newcastle has promised to pay the transfer fee before the 31st of January. Levante had initially rejected Newcastle's offer because payment of the transfer had not been guaranteed within the required timeframe. Although the transfer fee has not been officially confirmed, it is believed to be more than 2 million euros, which sum can be used by Levante to pay off the majority of the money it owes to its employees. The exit of Alvaro follows that of his compatriot Savio Bortolini, frenchman Christian Riganó, lthe italians Marco Storari and Bruno Cirillo and Jose Emilio Viqueira, all of who have reached agreements with Levante to leave the club by either rescission of contract, termination of contract or transfer.

Whats he like: when everything is going to shit around him? carrying the back four? how does he react when his keeper panics with every backpass and blasts it at him at high pace? To be fair he cant be too much worse, than what we have, give him a chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
