He might be approaching 30 but he looks very useful,very fit and appears to still have plenty of hunger,at the price stated it seems a very good move.
I'm surprised how many people don't watch the Spanish football in sky.
I'm paying an embarrassing amount to sky for the premier league, I try and get as much out of it as possible and la liga on Sunday evenings is on at a good time.
Celta Vigo seem to feature quite a lot, certainly any time they play the big 3 or Sevilla/Valencia etc.
He plays for a lower down spainish team so well down the pecking order and spain have so much quality,the coach has left out several younger ones so i guess it's his time and he can be trusted,just my opinionJust out of curiosity as I really have no idea. Why was he only called up to the national team n 2014?
It seems a bit odd if he's 29 now. Was it too much quality in his position already? Or has he done a jamie vardy?
Honestly not trying to be a smart arse. I've never heard of him before now.
Similar situation to Payet perhaps!?
I can actually see this working out surprisingly well, rather like Negrado in his first 6 months. Everyone will be expecting him to start on the bench and be a squad player but i can see him surprising a few
I suppose we will only truly know that if/when we actually see him in the Prem, but watching him more closely since our rumoured interest, you can see why there could be truth in it & exactly what Pep sees in him.
Touch of the 'Tevez' about him imo.
Doesn't he play on the left more often than not?
And £8m for Delph, £12m for Fernando, £12m for Rodwell and £8m for Sinclair were seen as good value signings but ultimately the sacrifice in quality and legitimate strength in depth leads to forking out more money as quickly as before and bang average players.2 games this week and the fact he has scored into double figures the last 3 seasons for his club,14m is well worth it for a goal scoring winger that could take some pressure off sterling
You are a hard man to please lol,we all knew rodwell and sinclair were crap as did bobby hence his kick off,nando seems to have come good lately.As long as we have a strong team come the first game then i'm happy enoughAnd £8m for Delph, £12m for Fernando, £12m for Rodwell and £8m for Sinclair were seen as good value signings but ultimately the sacrifice in quality and legitimate strength in depth leads to forking out more money as quickly as before and bang average players.
90%+ will not have heard, let alone seen him, prior to the Euros where Spain have played 2 dross teams. Mario was brilliant four years ago at the Euros...
I do trust Pep, but he's not infallible and has as many transfer fuck ups or average buys as anyone else so I won't brush off every target as a good signing just because he might want him.

Yep he will make the odd bad signing but any coming from spain or germany you would think he has watched them for some years so better chance of getting it rightHe's dead right that Pep will get some transfers wrong though, as all managers do. Mancini admitted to both Rodwell & Sinclair, even said he'd been an admirer of Rodwell for a long time.
It's just as likely to be a big money signing who doesn't work though. The history of football is littered aith expensive failures, as we know only too well.

A goal and assist and constantly putting himself about not good enough for you?
He's not being discussed in their bracket of shite ability.don't know why he's being discussed in the Sinclair/Rodwell/Delph bracket. He's just not the Sanchez/Neymar calibre signing that will take us on to another level. He'll be a good contributor but I want more than that at this stage of our development.
He has scored double figures every year for 3 yrs for Celto and pep will know him well from spain and he has a release clause of 14m,extremely low risk signing if we only get a couple of seasons out of himwe have bought a player on the basis of one performance before )John Macken) so no one game is not going to sway me at all.
