Guest Stephen927 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 It's fairly obvious to see he wasn't one of our top priority attacking midfield recruits, due to Keegan coming out saying we failed in a bid for Nasri, the much published bid for Modric, talk of moves for Deco.. I'm quietly confident about this signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the people at Valencia who classed him as one too many for this years squad. he's never even played for valencia yet, they probably know as much about him as we do, so i'm not going to trust their opinions on him.

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Sorry if it has already been mentioned but I read (can't remember where) that Valencia had filled their allowed quota of foreign players and that is why they loaned González to us. I didn't know they had rules on the number of foreigners allowed in a team in La Liga. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the club that signed him & loaned him out know about as much about him as Newcastle-Online members. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets hope he falls into the quality category rather than what seems to me to be a quantity reason he has been moved on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooneyToonArmy Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 a bit more about him.......he`s right footed but NOT a winger according to some Uruguayan fans I spoke to on another forum. However for his old club Danubio he played attacking central midfield and sometimes on the left (but not an up and down the flanks winger)........I guess he`s a `Pires type` in that respect Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Gonzo - Guthrie/Butt/Barton - Jonas ----------Owen------------ -------Xisco---Oba-------- I'd imagine Gonzo/Butt/Barton/Guthrie will all be vying for that one side and the center role. I can also Geremi looking to get into the fold as well. But like everyone else, we know F all about this lad until we see him play. I am very very very excited to see how we line up in our next few matches when Owen and Oba are fit with Xisco and Gonzo in the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Heneage Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I don't think we should judge too much into them "Letting him go" Valencia have big money troubles, with no Europe this year and Villa on a big new contract, they were desperate to rid of any player they could, the likes of Joaquin for example were made available for Loan.

Guest Heneage Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Possibly. But I have ap roblem with Joaquin, hes become a lazy player as of late, he took his goal well against us, but I fear he'd just be coming for the money, we need players who will fight for us (Joey took that a bit too literally obviously) I mean its one of the reasons Valencias in the poop they are, they just paid what players wanted in a Leeds esq fashion. He probably would have joined us, but I think as the window grew closer to its end the Valencia Coach (Whos stupid name escapes me) saw him as actually a good player to have, hes showed glimmers of returning to form, but still I would be wary of getting him, but you do make a fair suggestion.

Guest Heneage Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 That doesn't suprise me really, hes quite the bullish player and i'd imagine will want to prove himself at Valencia before he heads off anywhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They actually have quite a strict wage structure, which they have only recently broken to provide new deals to keep Villa & Silva. the main problem with their debt is that they laid out a massive amount for new land and the development of a new stadium, and then didn't manage to sell the land they own for anywhere near what they thought it was worth.
