Rafa started the Spanish invasion in British football. During his time Alonso and Torres developed into World class players and they should be extremely grateful to Rafa.
But you know who should be thanking his lucky stars that Rafa saw him?
Alvaro Arbeloa, thanks to Rafa he's now a World cup and Euro winner.
he sounds good, but are we right to be excited about a 20 yr old who has hardly played any top league games?
Quite the goal scorer.
Exactly. Coutinho wasn't that experienced either. We need a fourth choice striker and I don't see as that big of a gamble.
erm, countinho had player like 20 games for inter and a load of games of espanyol, has this guy ever played for the first team in the top flight?

Coutinho was obviously more experienced, there's no doubt about that.
Alberto isn't supposed walk into our starting line up but he might surprise us.
There's also a striker shortage in the reserves all things considered he seems to be a decent low risk signing but not for £9 million.
To be fair its very difficult to make their u21 team.just checked, don't think this lad is even in the u21 squad, so if the price of 6-9m is right, it seems an awful lot to pay for a kid who has hardly played any top flight football and is not even good enough to be in the u21 team.

I mean highly rated players like Suso and Delofeu weren't selected either. They're supposed to play in the u20 FIFA world cup later this summer.

Spain has some good young players. I can see the great rivalry with England carrying on for another ten years at least.
Munain is only 20
Fucking hell.
And that Rodrigo guy sounds fucking boss 14 games 14 goals.
