that's true enough.....

If true, I guess this could be to allow us to decide whether we want him on a permanent deal after we know which league we'll be in next season? I do hope that he gets more game time than some of our recent temporary fixes (Lita, for example)....

:lolol: if he wasn't when he was here, some on NSC certainly think he is now.

Yep, serendipity that Calde came to us, but not serendipity that he was prepared to make a new start in an English club, thus providing the seed (along with Gus, and now extended by Oscar) to attract still more Spanish players. It took real cojones to be in the vanguard of the Armada like that...
