Ayozé Pérez (now playing for Villarreal)

The fact Spain have called up 3 lads who played for us when we were at our lowest ebb demonstrates really well the fact you don’t need to even be ambitious to attract good players, never mind European football.

Manquillo must be thinking a good season or two and he's on the plane to USA.

Also shows Benitez had a great eye

For sure, but of course he received zero backing and had to make wine out of water. 

[Deuce]

Glad he seems to have found a home with Betis. Will always have a soft spot for him…one of the few bright spots of the later Ashley years.

Yes but a bit of an anomaly as we had a Spanish legend in charge.

Aye but as others have pointed out we signed Bruno Isak and Botman without Europe either. 
 

Don’t get me wrong, we won’t be in for that truly elite player (we wouldn’t be anyway as we can’t afford tried) but past experience dictates we should be in for those players with the potential to become truly elite. 
 

Finances depending of course.

Goal and an assist the other night as Spain beat Andorra 5-0 with Oyarzabal getting a hattrick.

Backup to Isak? 

[toontownman]

Would love him back. Legend. We would probably be equally as frustrated with some if his decision making if he did return as before he left!

[PauloGeordio]

Loved that front 3 of Perez, Rondon and Miggy.

Shouldve cashed out his childrens college funds and sold his house to buy us some players the cheap bastard

Lively 15 minute cameo for Spain against Italy today.  Almost scored twice.  Thrilled for the 30-year-old lad.

[Donut]

Injured. Bad luck for him.

[Disco]

New club for the soft cunt 

[toon25]

Balls. He was the reason I started following Betis!

 

Was in great form at the end of last season. Hope he keeps it up 

[GideonShandy]

Transfer fee (per release clause) of only £3.4 million (4 million euros).  Decent bargain for Villareal (although not as good as when we got him for £1.5 million.)

[Skeletor]

I'm glad he's having a good end to his career.

[Donut]

Scored a 90+4 winner today for his new club. 

[nemtizz]

6 goals in 7 games. Only 412 mins.

[andycap]

How old is he nowadays? 31.

Bring him home. Straight swap for Sicknote.

 

Ah if only.
