"Reporter Javier Barrio of the El Comercio de Gijon newspaper said: “He is a very good player. His style is similar to David Rodriguez but Adrian is a far better player."

Sounds encouraging.

Happy to admit I got it wrong. Sorry.

From the rumour I heard yesterday (indirectly from club director), we will have splashed the cash on this one, or will be on another striker next week...

Sounds like a decent signing. Lets hope he settles into the Championship as quickly and as well as the majority of the other recent Spanish imports.

Why can't we sing an ENGLISH striker like Jordan Rhodes or Troy Deeney ? Far better than wasting money on Spanish again

Looks good on YouTube but the amount of clubs and loans he's had over the last 10 years doesn't inspire confidence. Hopefully he'll settle over here

If you watch the highlight reel below at 2.40, he skins the barcelona defenders to put two past them. V encouraging if you ask me! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZhf1jrjY_0&feature=player_embedded

Maybe spend 15m on Ross McCormack. Fulham know it's money well spent...

Well spotted [MENTION=12225]MacKenzie[/MENTION]! [MENTION=4156]glasfryn[/MENTION] and I are such good scouts we are able to pick out top quality just by listening to commentary
No overseas trips necessary.
Kudos to [MENTION=4675]Frutos[/MENTION] to putting more meat on the bones.

It's a squad game etc but Grady must be wondering why he signed for us.

This feeling will last for as long as it takes his paycheque to clear at the bank, then immediately abate.
The benches in the Championship are more comfy than League One benches too...
