I wouldn't mind someone from Spain Might not take as much settling in as from South America. So long as they're good enough!
Interesting ... I never heard that before Did the club officially announce we nearly signed him? i would have thought he would be too good / expensive for us, but what do I know. Banged a load of goals in (24 in 34 games) for Pumas UNAM in Mexican top flight season before last, then signed for Almeria and played only a few games (2 starts, 6 sub, 1 goal) for them last season. Injured / not good enough for La Liga? Sounds like it would be a great signing if we pulled it off.
You cant have a rumour without a Youtube video of his goals... so here goes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Dk-aWGTUoA
He was rumoured to be one of the argentinian trialist we had last tranfer window I think..... may be wrong
It was on barnsley one that they had agreed a fee and a contract for him. Almeria pulled out last minute.
