Why haven't we signed him? Surely we can outbid ****ing Brentford.

This is the sort of signing we should be making

Brentford have money as well. And a new stadium on the way.

Had you heard of him before you read that article?

If we can't compete with Brentford whose average attendance last season was 7,728 then we really are in trouble.
Have you ever seen this guy play? Who knows if he is any good or not? He has only played 40ish games at Spanish 2nd division level, which would make him significantly worse than Spanish Dave and Bruno (in theory). So 40 games by the time he is 23, WHAT A PLAYER!
He may turn out to be good, who knows, but to get upset on missing out on this sort of transfer is absurd.

No but I'm not a scout.
No but he has a fancy spanish name and their manager says he has "technical craft" so he MUST be good. I bet he's got future potential on Football Manager!

There should be rich pickings in Spain. I read a month or so ago that the players union complained that 294 players in the top 2 divisions had not been paid for last season! Collectively they were owed €23 million!
There must be lots of decent players that would not complain about our wage cap.

Played 35 times for the team that finished champions of the Spanish second tier, scoring 11 goals last season after Real Madrid had a look at him the year before. I'd say he would have been worth a punt and NSC would have gone mental if he had come here.

Got to be better than the nothing that we have surely?
We have no alternative to the erratic and occasionally brilliant Lualua. A decent left footer able to deliver set pieces, with a reasonable goal scoring record, would have got a big thumbs up from me.

Agreed, but you've made yourself look a ****

So, the possibility exists that the club had looked at him and decided he's not worth pursuing, which is why he's gone to Brentford? It's irrelevant as to whether we can outbid them or not if we're not interested in them. Besides, a left sided midfielder isn't exactly the biggest problem in terms of positions at the moment.

**** off I'm not in the mood.
Come on, if this guy was our one signing this week this place would be in further meltdown. If you want to be gutted we missed out on some nobody from Spain then it is up to you.
