I don't think it was his intention to be at the vanguard of anything.

He just wanted to play football in England. But not at Gillingham. Norwich City had a look at him, mind.

But Calde being the ambassador that he is certainly makes easier for Gus and later Oscar to indulge in 'labia'.

As we signed a few Spanish speakers when Gus was here, does that make him the labia majora?

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

In that Youtube video he seems to have that particularly Spanish* trait of not requiring a touch as the ball drops to him and passing it with pinpoint accuracy into the path of on-running forwards - I'm very excited by this . . . .

Hopefully he's just finished his desayuno in a Gatwick hotel prior to coming down to the Amex to discuss terms

What they get up to in private is their own business.

Naylor said his representatives have just arrived at the Amex.

So he's training with the squad and having a medical later. Seems a strange way to go about it but I'm not complaining.

Should we change our nickname to los gaviotas ?

From Brian Owens live blog

In readiness for the expected arrival of David Rodriguez, I asked around yesterday as to what we could expect.

My counterpart in Gijon, Javi Barrio, told me: "He is a good player, very fast and useful with the ball. Last year he was the player who scored most goals for Sporting (13). The problem is he is quite inconsistent. However I think English football can be positive for his style."

Sounds like a fast version of Barnes then.

Having a medical now.

I wonder if we will get it done in time for him to play a part against Watford.

I reckon so, it's a Sunday fixture after all so got the time.

A twenty-six hour medical would suggest issues.

Or he's in a coma

without wishing to be devil's advocate.....Fran Sandanza came here with a great cv .........

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Rodriguez is a short-term arrangement. Here for the rest of the season. #bhafc

He'd scored a handful of goals for Dundee. Is that a great CV? I realise we're higher up the leagues now, so our expectations are higher, but we're also better equipped to help a footballer integrate.
