Luis Suarez, currently on loan at Real Zaragoza, could be about to add a zero or two to any future transfer by becoming an EU national. http://sportwitness.co.uk/watford-man-planning-huge-personal-change-end-benefitting-hornets/
Mamadou Mbaye. He caused problems last season for Oxhey67 when he was tracking the loan players and it seems he's now causing Cadiz B CF, NK Inter Zapresic & Watford FC similar headaches. It was reported in the local press in July and August he was to re-sign for Cadiz B after an unsuccessful loan in Croatia with Zapresic. The Spanish side were happy to get a player who had turned out for them in 2017/18 before an injury curtailed his time there, though it was never mentioned if it was a loan or permanent transfer, nor where he was signing from. Strangely, Cadiz themselves have never announced his signing. Come the 25th of August, Real Murcia are defeated 2-1 away to Cadiz with Mbaye taking his place in the centre of defence. After the game there were some rumblings from the visiting side as to the eligibility of the Senegalese defender with enquiries made to the Spanish Federation. Cadiz are reported to have said they signed the player on August 13th and he was registered to play from the following day with the authorities seemingly backing their claim. A little head scratching begins with the news coming from Zapresic saying they held the players registration before his move to Spain despite his move there last season being only a loan. Mbaye played the following week when his side travelled to Yeclano and lost 2-1, with the big defender getting his marching orders for a second yellow just before the hour mark. Still there was talk from Murcia about his availability for the side nicknamed 'The Yellow Submarine', just like Villarreal. The talk has now gotten a little louder with the release of Watford's squad lists which has Mamadou 'Momo' Mbaye registered as a player in the u21 & scholars group, making any claim laid down by Zapresic previously, as to Mbaye being theirs, false. Real Murcia and their lawyers are now looking to verify the situation existing between the English, Croatian & Spanish sides with an intent to appeal Mbaye's legality to play for Cadiz.
Essentially you’re his social media manager? Nice. Glad to know he’s contributing. Always enjoyed his (and now yours) posts about the young players.
No way Oxhey would accept the complete lack of fact, knowledge and attention detail contained in my posts from himself. I know know my level and it is a long way from the majestic loanees thread of last season. Miss the fella though.
Looks like Penaranda made his debut over the weekend for tinpot wonders Kas Eupen vs mid-table stalwarts Zulte Waregem. Points were shared, with Zulte going down to ten men just before half time. Pena played the full 90 and has posted a couple of instagram stories showcasing some 'unbelievable tekkers' from the match. He did look quite impressive in the 30 second clip. Standard Liege next up.
Golazo and an assist for our version of Luis Suarez, who is on fire in the Segunda Division with 4 goals in his first 5 games. Getting some very good press in Spain for his start to the season too. Move over Cucho, there's a new great hope in town...
Maybe one day he can play for us and make the same impact as former Barca target Penaranda and former record signing Success. One can but dream.
Very good goal. Promising that he looks useful with both feet. Strange to see Shinji Kagawa now playing down in the Segunda Division.
No joy for Penaranda, as Eupen go down 3-0 to Standard Liege. No sign of cult hero Obbi Oulare who's coming back from injury (surely not!). Cucho isn't playing for Mallorca due to recovery from an operation, return originally slated for October but it sounds like it may end up being later.
Our man in Zaragoza, Luis Suarez, bagged two more yesterday in a 2-2 draw away at Real Oviedo. On fire. 6 goals in 7 games
Looks decent. Not Cucho level but if he has a good season who knows, we could be seeing him next season in the Championship?
Our boys in Spain this weekend: Granada 1-0 Leganes. Marc Navarro started and subbed after 42 mins Real Oviedo 2-2 Real Zaragoza. Luis Suarez played 90 mins scored 2 Levante 1-1 Osasuna. Pervis Estupiñan played 90 mins Deportivo 1-1 Mirandes. Matheus Aias came on as sub 81st min Ibiza 2-0 Ferrol. Kwasi Sibo not in squad Cornella 1-1 Ejea Juan Camilo Becerra unused sub Llagostera 2-1 Hercules. Jaime Alvarado unused sub Badajoz 1-2 San Fernando. Kingsley Fobi unused sub Cadiz B 2-2 Algeciras Mamadou Mbaye unused sub Recreativo 2-0 Don Benito Matheus Santana played 90 mins Marbella 1-1 At Sanluqueño. Juergen Elitim played 72 mins and scored
How do you know he's not Cucho level?! He's currently got a better strike rate than Cucho achieved in La Liga 2 (it's early in the season still I know).
I don't know about the work permit situation but the loan is for 2 years and has a recall option after the 1st. He is also in the final 2 years of his contract so I wonder if we're hoping he'll have an impressive season and have clubs coming in with offers. We'd then recall him and sell. I don't see him signing on again with us and Osasuna will either sign him on a free or he'll just become a free agent if the loan runs its full course.
You seem to have a weird grudge against Cucho, what has he done to you? Granted I've only seen Suarez play one full game but he looks way behind Cucho at that level and he was 3 years younger than Suarez. Not the mention the goals on his Columbia debut and his performances against Real Madrid and Barcelona last season. And Cucho is two footed as well, something you seem to like about Suarez?
Our boys in Spain Mirandes 1-1 Lugo. Matheus Aias came on as sub 65th min and scored. Real Zaragoza 2-2 Malaga. Luis Suarez played 90 mins and scored the 1st.
Can score goals, young South American on loan and improved transfer value. David, you've been around long enough to know he'll never play for us, £8m to Getafe in the summer window.
