Yes and flair players/strikers bar Nando. Good point.
Rafa recommended him to Comolli who was interested??????
Ah, for fuck's sake, I was hoping he'd be good.

Cynicism, not depression.
He's not really a 'spine' player though, he's a 'frills around the edges' player, which Rafa was notoriously shite at buying.
We've been so badly starved of attacking talent, bar Suarez, over the last couple of years (in fact probably over a decade if we're talking wide attacking players) that I reckon the moment he shows a few stepovers and then leaves a couple of players for dead with his speed, pretty much most of us will be in love with him.
Haha!! Classic.
It was actually from SSN, they showed it again last night.
WRONG THREAD YOU CLOD

Makes me wonder if I know what's going on.
SSN had some brief footage of him and his mate jumping into a people carrier, looking all sexy in his crisp LFC training kit. Echo journi reckons he'll be announced today.
Only spanner in the works could be the WP. So long as we don't make the same argument for a WP that Rafa did for Mark Gonzalez (or was it Leto?) we should be ok. That argument being, "Please give us a WP for this chap, he's better than 50% of the players in the Prem". The work permit bods read that as 'he's shitter than 50% of the players in the prem' and rightly told us to fek off.
