Juan Fernandez di Alessio - WHO HE?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Unofficial Newcastle United Football Club BBS : One Thread

Alright, before you all start, I know its my own fault for reading their stupid bliddy pages, but I've just found the following paragraph on the Teamtalk Twaddle website - Toon section......can anyone else throw any light?

Meanwhile a spokesman for Argentinean club Lanus insists midfielder Juan Fernandez di Alessio is on his way to Tyneside in a £1.5m deal, barring any complications.

"The transfer of Juan Fernandez is still not complete but next week the negotiations will be finalised. There are only a few details to agree with Newcastle," said Nicolas Russo. Comments anyone?

>>Comments anyone?

Just one - I've heard it all before, especially from anonymous spokesmen, so I'll believe it when he appears at a press conference :o)

And a question from me - Bobby sees his priority area for squad strengthening as midfield ?? Thought not.

Maybe Lonly, however he is snapping up the bargains when they are available.

Hope we don't sign another midfielder and expect him to cover a strikers position. I seem to recall this happening before... John Dal Tomasson. Great midfielder but we always played him up front until his confidence was shot. Seems to me that since the English game is so fast, foreign strikers tend to make better midfielders. Take Zola, he plays better in midfield where he gets more space. Ginola was often played up front for PSG.

I'm rambling over my bottle of Cascade Tasmanian Lager, sorry.

Hopefully see you Monday Morning to watch the match Loony.

Well he hasn't snapped up this particular bargain yet, Guster. And I'm comfortable playing wide left where the grass is thick thereby hiding the potholes.

Glad to hear you'll be putting in an appearance Nick. BTW check your email.
