Hector Moreno

Levy will get him at 3.5

 

[Spursidol]

I'm betting we're just waiting to see if he can put in a 90 minute shift yet.

A few chances to see that coming up - if he is fit enough !

4/1/15 Espanyol v Eibar ( League)
7/1/15 Valencia v Espanyol (Cope del Rey)
10/1/15 Real Madrid v Espanyol (League)

So if he's not played in the next week with 3 fixtures.....

 

[DaSpurs]

I think he's worth grabbing anyway if he's already back to walking. I'm much more amenable to bone breaks rather than ligamental damage, as bone has immensely better regenerative properties. It seems this guy knows Poch and his system well, and we can afford to allow him to continue to heal and regain fitness considering we'd still have Kaboul and Dier to provide backup.

 

[ButchCassidy]

Poch probably has 100 contacts inside Espanyol. I'm sure we've been watching him closely and know exactly how fit he is and if he's making a full recovery.

FYI he has played a few games since returning from injury in November, including a full 90 minute match...

02/12 vs Derportivo Alavez: 74mins
07/12 vs Barcelona: 40mins (sub)
17/12 vs Deportivo Alavez: 90mins

It's understandable that you wouldn't start a guy coming back from that sort of injury after the Christmas rest period, so they are clearly easing him back.

He's definitely walking though!

Good to know!

Arsenal looking at him now as well apparently.

This will be very, very fucking annoying.

 

[EJWTartanSpur]

I wouldn't be too worried about it, we've been tracking him for some time, I'm sure we would have bought him in the summer if it hadn't have been for the injury, and he has the in-built relationship with Poch. I'd be surprised if we didn't get him IF we elect to try and finalise a deal. Arsenal are the more attractive club to players, yes, but there are some situations where that club can lose out because the other one wanted the player more and have put in a ton more leg work. Just a guess of course, but thats my feeling.

Hopefully all it will do will make us move quicker for him.

 

[eddiev14]

He played 90 mins in the cup last night FWIW

 

[prawnsandwich]

Has anyone here actually seen him play? I assume he plays left sided CB?

Think I read he can play either but I only seen him in the last WC where iirc he was right side CB.

Thanks. We have good cover in all defensive positions except Verts'.

 

[Kaboul'sForehead]

Someone needs to do some match report on this guy.

 

[eddiev14]

Thanks. We have good cover in all defensive positions except Verts'.

I assume he'd be signed to play with Jan.

He was a better player than Fazio, in my opinion. It remains to be seen whether he still is, however.

 

[longtimespur]

And DM.
We haven't any competent cover and the 2 academy lads are still learning their games as well.

I only watched about 2 minutes of the game last night but it looked like he was playing left back.

Not sure. Didn't watch it, mate.

Well we need to move quick then and not wait until last day if he is still available that is.
