Another one bites the dust. I'm sensing a theme...

Good move for him, back to where he was a top player.

Another of my transfer pledges players have bit the dust

Lol.

Why didn't we go for him? Would have been an improvement on what we have.

We held 'extensive talks' mate. Grey Fox said so.

Ahem.

Ahem.

If Grey Fox said that, it must be true then.

So Balague is full of shit, yes?.......

He has been spot on for a long time know with most spanish stuff

 

[Phn3Xta5]

maybe he didnt want a move to england and the PL? he performed well at sociedad when he was on loan. player transfers are pretty complicated things.

 

[RickyVilla]

There is a surprise.

That was towards all those who rubbished him yesterday and said it couldn't be right. He lives locally to me and I've met him a number of times and one of my mates knows him quite well. What I'll say is he isn't absolutely reliable on transfers, he's better for tittle-tattle stuff coming out of Spain, but he does know Rafa Benitez well so for this story I'd say he was always a reliable source.

 

[Northernspurs]

it's a real shame

illarramendi isn't that good and comparisons to xabi alonso are optimistic at best.
