Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 19 January, 2013 Share Posted 19 January, 2013 Espanyol's best player by a mile he's 29 now but a very creative midfielder and likely out of contract at the end of the season.

Window Cleaner Posted 19 January, 2013 Share Posted 19 January, 2013 Ramirez is supposed to be our playmaker and he's no doubt very good at it, just got to use him correctly and stop sticking him out on the left to be able to play JRod and Lambert.. Misuse of Gaston probably really riled NC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joan must be the Catalan version of Juan I suppose, loads of them, Espanyol's president is called Joan as well. Perhaps he made them all change their names, perhaps all of our players should be called Nicola. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itchen_dan Posted 12 June, 2013 Share Posted 12 June, 2013 Have we ever had a player declare they are joining us before the club has confirmed it? Gaston.

DuncanRG Posted 12 June, 2013 Share Posted 12 June, 2013 It's highly unlikely we'll know much more by the end of play tomorrow, but if he does leave then there may be a hint about coming to England, having talked with a few clubs etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty Posted 12 June, 2013 Share Posted 12 June, 2013 Espanyol's best player by a mile he's 29 now but a very creative midfielder and likely out of contract at the end of the season. Could be a very good signing for us. The only Espanyol game I've seen was against Celta Vigo, he looked pretty good but did as much wrong as right during that game. Aspas was terrific for Celta, and has now gone to the scousers, but the standout Espanyol player for me was Sergio Garcia. Verdu was subbed about 15 mins from the end. Thats only one game though, obviously, and one that probably didnt mean much to Espanyol who were already safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectisSaint Posted 12 June, 2013 Share Posted 12 June, 2013 Pinocchio is his nickname No it isn't. You are the only one who has ever used it. It is pathetic and insulting.
