Guest firetotheworks Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Best way to think. I think we'll get him, but the only worry I have is that we'll be a feeder club for Liverpool if he proves himself in the premiership. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 http://www.marca.com/futbol/altasbajas07/index.html Interesting that Marca have already put him (and Drago) in the "done deals" table. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Marca seem to jump the gun quite a lot. Does anyone know how accurate they usually are? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Posted on the Villarreal forums, had a few responses. I asked what type of player he is and whether they think he'd have the pace and strength necessary to adapt over here. They've basically agreed with each other that he has pace and strength in abundance and a fighting spirit to boot, he never gives up on a ball and his game is suited to England. He's very quick apparently, beat Aguero in a race starting from behind, and that Messi struggled against him. They also say he's very consistent, rarely has a bad game. His crossing isn't his strongest point and he's nothing special technically, but he shields the ball well. They're very confident he'll go on to be Spain's first choice left back and are saying we've made a brilliant signing (they're talking as if it's a done deal). Excellent, cheers.

Guest gggg Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 All that needs to be done is the medical.. i don't think he'd be saying goodbye to Villareal if he hadn't already agreed terms + the Villareal chairman said we'd offered him a good deal.

Optimistic Nut Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Marca seem to jump the gun quite a lot. Does anyone know how accurate they usually are? I think it's more a case of they actually have real journalists who don't make sh*t up, so 9 times out of 10 get the stories right early on because they are genuinely close to the clubs. Compare that to the quality of our rags. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 They'd need a fluent Spanish speaker to do that and given Balague works for Sky, I'd be willing to bet a fiver that it's him that does it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alberto2005 Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 "Spanish commentary"- Highlights from the matches in the last week involving Barcelona and Real Madrid "as our friends in Spain saw it." The "Spanish" commentator is, in fact, crew member Sheephead, who uses a mixture of very basic Spanish and English. Common quotes from this section include "peep peep! Penalty!","Fruity Guti", "In the mixa!" , "Guily, me julie!", "OH JAMMY WOODWORK!!!", "Gooooooooooaaaaaaalllllll!" while Barcelona's home ground, the Nou Camp, is often referred to as the "Campy Nou Nou". Barcelona's highlights conclude with the commentator saying "I wanna rock with you, Frank 'Right-Guard'!" (a pun on the the name of Barcelona coach, Frank Rijkaard), while Real Madrid's matches ended with a "hickory dickory dock, Zidane" until he retired last season. And once the phrase A Beckham PING!! Oh chesty chesty goal morgan jammy were used. ((See video in external links intitled Spanish Commentery Video)). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
