Spanish players

[janee]

Sorry if fixtures - but Albion been scouting in Spain and tracking 3 players from the La Liga play off final from their league 2 up to league one. A midfielder, defender and striker. All part of the plan to help Vicente sign. The midfielder has already signed for some Spanish side but the striker and defender are expected soon. Sauce from my partner's barber!

was it Paul Barber?

When you say play off final from their league one to league two, do you mean from the Segunda to the Primera liga. Not being pedantic, just checking!

Real Valladolid v Alcorcon - Valladolid were promoted

Squads are here:

Spain - AD Alcorcón - Results, fixtures, squad, statistics, photos, videos and news - Soccerway
Spain - Real Valladolid Club de Fútbol - Results, fixtures, squad, statistics, photos, videos and news - Soccerway

Forgive me if I leave the speculation to someone else

hopefully it is "fran no" from real valladolid in memory of sandaza

Valladolid have an 'Abdul Razak ' playing for them.......now there's another rumour !!

Look I'm a girl who knows her stuff about the Albion and the football league/championship - right!

Real Valladolid have both Manucho (Ex Man Utd) and Alberto Bueno (was the next big thing at Real Madrid, played at Derby for a few games). Also have Medhi Nafti who would fit the battling midfielder role (was at Birmingham)

Not sure either would set the world alight looking at what they've done recently.

A pedant writes: There is no such thing as the Primera Liga. The correct sponsored name is Liga BBVA but it is almost universally referred to as either La Liga or the Primera Division.

Why would a random barber know this? Does he do Tanno's hair?

 

[janee]

and in the barber's chair was the Albion's football liason officer.....

Gotta get their hair cut somewhere, my barber cuts one of the Directors hair often gets a nudge

Fair enough!

Maybe he's managed to hack into Gus' albion email account?

I don't think we're looking at Bueno or Manucho (if we actually are looking at anyone from Valladolid or Alcorcon, that is) - I'm going to take a wild punt at Javier Guerra Fernandez.

Valladolid's main man up front, Guerra has found the net 46 times in the past two seasons.

It's also worth noting that he played a season alongside Calde at Deportivo Alaves.

I know one barber who is definitely in the know.... wonder if it's the same one.

 

[withdeanwombat]

Is there a prize ? Like guess the barber ?

I'll go with the Barber of Seville,though I expect Sweeney Todd will soon take a razor to this rumour.

Javi Guerra would be a decent signing at this level IMO, although he is 30 so by no means a long term one. I doubt he'd be overly expensive either and Valladolid may be willing to sell as he's unlikely to set the world alight in the top flight.
