al_bro Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I don't know why, but I get the impression that this guy will be a real handful for the opposition. It's probably the attitude he shows in the interview. Seems to be no nonsense. If he has the technical abilities of other Spanish players he will bag quite a few goals for us. He has friends down the road as well (probably City), so that should help him settle in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Agree with other posters. Can’t really put my finger on why, but I really like the look of this signing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlossopLatic Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Goals 14/15 Looks like a number 9 who likes to get on the end of crosses. Get Nepo firing balls into him. I also want him to be a complete nutter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disjointed Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 If we could sign Rodney Jack to play up front with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ritchierich Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 With absolutely no evidence to back it up and having never heard of him.....I think...……..this will be a brilliant signing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristolatic Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 He sure looks a bit handy. Just might be the signing we've been looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are all Spaniards friends with all other Spaniards? Doubt he'll be able to afford to mingle with the City Spaniards in the restaurants they probably frequent!

leeslover Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Binned of by Eibar after playing 31 games in their promotion season, harsh. We saw them at Barca the year after, they looked the most English Spanish team I've seen, lots of big lads, banks of 3/4, strong in the air. I'm going to leap to the conclusion that we've signed Nat Lofthouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam says in the interview that he believes that he has a friend at a certain club down the road, and will he be using him to learn English. He replies that yes he has friends in England, and intends to be able to do an interview in English by the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The French Basques played some of their big games in Spain (San Sebastian). Think it’s mainly Union but I wouldn’t be surprised if they played League as well.

the_mighty_bosh Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Aloe Vera and welcome to the club! Sounds like a cheaper version of Carlos Costly. Or dare I say it...the new Diego Cervero?! Do we throw him in straight away tomorrow? Hopefully he doesn't basque in the glory of being our new number 9 too much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L1onheartNew Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I cannot get the mental image of Urko coming on as a sub on his debut riding a white horse, waving an automatic rifle and ordering to "kill all the defenders" out of my head.
