  • Great spot, but if you don't speak Spanish how on earth did you come across the article ?
  • It seemed from Ben Roberts' blog that the management team went to watch the local side train a fair few times, presumably while Green was practicing his juggling and Erol Umut was studying lifts, so I would imagine Powell and Vetere and co have seen this guy more than Pardew ever saw McLeod or Fleetwood or Holden or Dorian Smith or Dickson or Sinclair or...

    . Never played higher than 2aB.

    What height's that in non- metric mate? ;-)
  • Or.....That danish winger
  • all managers look for rough diamonds to polish, to take a risk on and hopefully turn in to a real gem, if it aint cost much go for it

    You've forgotten Pardew's big wage investment in Martin Christensen, easy to do when he didn't play for us.
  • I doubt he will get a sniff of first team action for a long time.  I used to watch a  fair bit of Segunda B (2nd - B)  as Alicante are in this league.   Conference level at best.

    Thats why he is called "Rojas".

    Not sure this is correct - according to the clubs website "The top shareholder of Club Deportivo San Roque de Lepe is Maryla Shingler"

    Who seems to be a London-based lawyer.

    So is Doc on his way out ?
    Yep ... old news :o)
  • Wikipedia says he's 5 ft 9, which is small for a centre back.

    Looks a bit like Llera lol.
  • Is there another Jose Manuel Rojas who plays in Chile? That is the 5ft 9 player. Who have we signed?
  • He's not on wikipedia.

    Clearly he doesnt exist then.

    Amarillos y Rojos to be completely correct/pedantic.

    Cards don't mean the same in Spain -especially at the lower levels. The refs there get a financial bonus for evry card they give -seriously. There are matches where they even send the tea lady off.
  • So did he join or was it a wind up?
