Village Idiot Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 VI - were eyebrows raised in spain when we signed him, especially at that price? Yes. He wasn't such a big prospect (just a "decent young player" in FM parlance), and Spanish players going to England and succeeding were rare at the time.

buzza Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 He was on a decent run of form when we signed him, was one of those "tipped" for success.... which never materialized... Thanks Dennis! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 was there shock at the fee? were we competing with anyone else for his sig? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Perusing news clips from the time apparently he wasn't even first choice for Depor anymore when you bought him. The fee I suppose it's explained by the fact that Lendoiro is a master at driving hard bargains. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Also Lendorio said the boy begged to be sold because of the huge contract you were offering him. (take whatever Lendoiro says with a huge pinch of salt though) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 26-year-old is thought to have signed an 18-month contract with Spanish side Cordoba to bring his miserable four-and-a-half-year spell on Tyneside to an end.

Guest TCD23 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 To be fair he never played even when it made sense for him to. I'd also have taken him over Shola. On the other hand it's not like we'll remember him, I never even saw him a Newcastle shirt. We'll forget about him soon enough (unless it turn out he was fucking brilliant) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
