So, it would appear we’ve signed the attacking midfielder that Lambert said he wanted to get in before the Liverpool game.
He’s from Valencia, he’s aged 22 and has apparently signed a five year contract, with the fee being around four million euros.
The only concern for me is that he struggled to get back in the Valencia side after being out on loan at Elche (Sanchez’s previous club).
It strikes me that given the low price, it’s possibly just another punt, but if he turns out to be as good as Sanchez, it’ll be a case of fair play to Lambert.
That said, I can hardly see him being worse than Cleverley or Richardson, can you?
This is definitely a position that needed sorting and I hope this player is the answer.
So, if the story proves to be true, I’d like to say “Welcome, Carles”.
Although it only clips and not much to go by, but this Carles Gil doesn’t really excite me.
A collection of Gabbys best bits would make for more entertainment than this lads….and we know how shit he is…..!!
I’m far from writing him off before he’s kicked a ball (kind of oohahh-esque) and I hope he’s awesome but there’s a niggling doubt I can’t shake.
hes had a few decent players talk him up, my fingers are crossed 🙂
FA couldn’t organise a pi** up in a brewery. Another ref another day (or if we were one of the ‘chosen few’) at least two of those reds (excluding Gabby) wouldn’t have been given and Benteke’s red was for a powder puff reaction. On the other hand, the guy that puts Westy out for a month with an off the floor scissors tackle gets a yellow? No consistency in refereeing which overall IMHO is sh* te.
