He is on a flight to Cyprus to SING a contract at APOEL in Cyprus with Orlandi, he was offered a 2 year deal at Swindon but turned them down

No chance any Championship club near here will sign him.

Neither of these are true according to this article in the Argus.

Calderon was speculatively linked to Charlton soon after the season ended. He has confirmed he has one offer from League One and is confident of another coming in from the Championship.

Meanwhile he is back in his home town of Vitoria in the Basque country while maintaining a base in Brighton.

I suspect he'll not sign anywhere before 1st August in order that he can pull in his last (bumper) month's salary from the Albion. And who can blame him?

Same. I just picture him running around a dusty patch of grass, passing to himself and taking potshots at a practice goal on wheels whilst muttering encouragement softly to himself. I think I might get a bit teary if I continue to think about it

I don't doubt it. I was pointing out that the article stated otherwise. Ernest 1 Argus 0.

He has signed for Anorthosis (not Apoel) in Cyprus.

This is great news for me as I am currently living in Cyprus!

Visions of baffled Anorthosis fans hearing a lone chant of "Inigo Calderon, he scores with his face"!

From their official website (translated from Greek to English)

Iñigo Calderón Zapatería for 1 + 1 years!

calderon-proponisi
The Anorthosis Famagusta announces the acquisition of the player Íñigo Calderón Zapatería.

The Spanish right rearguard, signed before a little contract with Anorthosis for a year, with the intention to renew for another. Already, the player - who is in Cyprus last night - has been integrated with our team and this time makes his first workout with blue white.

The Íñigo Calderón Zapatería began his career in his native Spain, the Academies of Deportivo Alaves. Then he had a three-year presence in Alicante, to return to the first team of Alaves for two years. In 2010 he moved to England, on behalf of the Brighton & Hove Albion. There was established for six years. Indeed, the period 2014-15 was voted "player of the year" for his club.

Plus, the Íñigo will be racing under the colors of Anorthosis where the wish to have a year full of successes!

Andrea Orlandi played for them last season and has just left to join the Cypriot Champions

Fantastic. Really happy that he's now sorted out a new club.

Cowfold Seagull · Jul 10, 2016

If that's where he wants to play, then of course I'm delighted for him. After all he did for us, he had the right to go off and play for Mile Oak Reserves if thats what floated his boat.

However, it has to be said that I think he is better than this, and had he been prepared to wait, could have probably found another club in the Championship, or League One.

Still, good luck playing back in the sun Calde.

I suspect it's more along the lines of being near his 'brother'.

That, and Anorthosis' traditional kit is blue and white stripes.

Probably would not get a 2 year contact over here, which is what he has over there..

He just can't stay away from the blue and white. Makes me physically sick to see him wearing another clubs kit however.

Reasonable chance of Europa League or even CL football next season

BensGrandad · Jul 10, 2016

He should do well in Cyprus as the standard is not very good but the climate is brilliant. I would say the general standard is about Div 1 or 2 in England with no long travelling to away games. According to Radio Sussex signed 1 year contract with an option of a 2nd. Not joining Orlandi as left Anorthosis and joined Apoel in June for 1 year so says wiki. Good luck to him though.

Not much chance of Anorthosis winning the league, I wouldnt think likely to be Apoel again or possibly AEL.

For one round? Yes he got a two year deal, while any English club would probably have only given him one, but salary wise I'm sure he would have been better off staying on our shores.

But still, as l said in a previous post, he has earned the right to play anywhere that he wants to.

I saw a league game in Cyprus about five years ago whilst on holiday there. Polis were at home to somebody, l can't remember who. As you say the standard of football wasn't brilliant, but the game that l watched attracted a crowd of a fair few hundred, despite the fact that they play in division three.
