Spanish striker?

TWOCHOICEStom · Dec 31, 2012

I've heard from someone pretty reputable (I know I know... :glare:

) that we are signing a new striker from Spain and it's a "done deal".

Interesting reading Gus' comments regarding English players being overpriced today, seems to me to reinforce the fact that he'll go overseas in this transfer window.

With the likes of Bruno and Vicente here already, I wonder if this could help tempt a top-class player over here?

Any ideas? Anyone heard anything along these lines?

It would be lovely if it were true.

Our track record with Spanish attackers isn't actually that good though is it?

This is the beauty of having a foreign manager.... Hes generally not willing to buy overpaid british players and has the contacts to search the globe.......

Except for the greatest Albion player of all time!....Err, hello?

If Poyet and his team think he's good enough then that's enough for me.

I'd say its MIXED.

I would class the signings of the following attacking players as a sucess:

Barnes (tremendous value) / Bennett (great buy, sold for a big profit) / Noone (huge profit) / Buckley (a steal at £1m)

And the following as poor buys:

Dobbie (seems utterly disinterested) / Hoskins (hasn't worked) / CMS (seemed a good buy, but hasn't worked. If we recoup what we paid - move this one to NEUTRAL)

With the Basque links in the team, could we possible see this man donning blue and white stripes come January??

Ahh yes Bennett, well done SLADE for that one, and Buckley was a Stephenson buy.

Oh man, that would mean guaranteed promotion to the Premier League. Surely that would repay a big chunk of the fee.

Out of contract in the summer apparently so fee wouldn't be too big. Sign him up Gus!!

Basques and Catalans are quite different peoples. Which of our players are Basque then?
