[The Mighty Brian Rowe]

in the famous words of Mark and Lard....

"WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"?

[The L J Monk]

I knew it.

Second bid for Duffy rejected as well.

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

Never heard of him. It's a different and interesting one but the club must have and like
him.

[Sheepskin Stu]

Seems to have been on trial at a few clubs in the last couple of years.

[The Mighty Brian Rowe]

Holding Midfielder apparently 

[Copps is Magic]

A quick internet search revealed he played for Oldham in pre-season a couple of years ago and then had a trial at Hull City afterwards. Apparently one sticking point was a release clause Madrid wanted to get rid.

I knew it.

Second bid for Duffy rejected as well.

The fountain of all knowledge

[Donnyjim]

MDF?

Lets hope not! 

I heard that Scunny turned him down as well.

[The L J Monk]

I knew it.

Second bid for Duffy rejected as well.

The fountain of all knowledge

If you need any other facts confirmed, after the event, do not hesitate to get in touch.

[Copps is Magic]

In 2012/13 he played for CD Olímpic de Xàtiva in the Spanish Segunda B Group 3. Played 37 times, scored 1 goal, 12 yellow cards and got sent off twice.

Real Madrid site (via google translate) describes him as;

It is a defensive stopper, aggressive and expert in contention. Brings wisdom and pause. Footballer solidarity, team, very competitive, so good head and is acceptable in the short game. Muscle contributes to the team in midfield and both your order as your ability to occupy meters are essential in the operation of the subsidiary.

 Sounds like it was written by a combination of Dingles and Dee Dahs.

Dickov very excited about him, tried but failed to sign him at oldham due to finances. Also paul quinn only one of the 9 out of contract to not to turn up to training this morning.

Time will tell

[mrfrostsdad]

I've just looked on DROS and I can't see anything?

[dickos1]

You won't do,, nothing on it yet

[mrfrostsdad]

Does that mean it's just a rumour then?

[Bristol Red Rover]

Is this one of the signings we're going to get 'really excited about?'

Is there time to add to the bar names? "The Val Fernandez Tapas Inn"

Or on sale at the club shop soon, the "Val Fernandez Bull Bar"

[MrFrost]

How old is he?

[IDM]

Quite young, 22/23 I think I read?

[LincsRover]

Hopefully a bit of Spanish class to help boost our midfield, which was probably our weakest area last year? Could be a very good, astute signing who we can afford and would add to the team!

i really hope so, and not another Denis Souza - the only Brazilian on the planet who couldn't kick a football!

 

[Wild Rover]

How old is he?

23, shares his birthday with Stuart Pearce and me amongst others.

[Woodhead Passer]

Is he any good on Football Manager?

[raggytash]

well if this is the standard we are going for, long hard winter springs to mind!! Yet again the cheapest option...fkg crap dickov and ryan!!
