spanish bellamy?
You mean because of the way he set up Othello?
I have not seen him play before so I can't judge him. But I'm just a bit perplexed at reading (esp. on Twitter) how some have already written players like him off as a 1 season wonder etc, just because he's not as well known and plays for a team facing relegation.
Soldado moved to Valencia on the back of 2 seasons with Getafe. Villa was 24 when he moved to Valencia, after good spells at Sporting Gijon followed by Real Zaragoza. Negredo was 23 when he went to Sevilla after a couple of good seasons with Almeria. (And of those clubs mentioned, all coincidentally flirted with relegation at some stage during the respective player's spell there.)
This Aspas guy has 11 goals and 6 assists in 32 appearances this season, his 1st in La Liga - that's playing a part in 50% (34) of Celta's league goals! In Segunda Liga last season, he has 23 goals in 28 starts (35 apps) - 28% of their league goals. That's 2 good seasons in my opinion. He has also shown that he can adapt to a higher level of football, while carrying the burden and raising up to the challenge of leading the club's charge (against relegation, in this case).
To re-iterate, I'm not advocating signing this guy. But to write him off or doubt him, especially if we haven't seen enough of him, sounds shallow.
After not researching anything about him - I've decided he'd be great. Sign!!
Blimey. Great news in the sense we're going for a really serious player who'll expect to start most matches. A bit baffling how they'll all fit in once Suarez is back, if he does come back.
seems like a replacement from downing isn't he? High energy, cuts in from the right and tracks back a lot.Whoo-hoo!
