Leeds Utd v Atalanta

Okay, just got back from boozing this afternoon, who the **** is six fingered Charlie Robb & who the **** is Pablo Hernandez (and is he that good he deserves capitals)?

 

Pablo Hernandez was signed by Swansea in their early Premiership days. He played very well at first but I think he faded away slightly.

 

Ignore Robb, not even a footballer

 

Must be another Cellino pick then.

 

Millwall will be knocking on his door then!

 

Then, 1. Why do we want him. 2. Where does he play?? 3. Are we certain it's him?

 

Right wing or attacking mid.

 

Too slow, I already cracked that with a better punchline.

 

Haven't we got those positions covered??

 

Only ranked better in your household!

 

Of which you are soon to be a member.

 

I think he could potentially be a real marquee signing, so I wouldn't mind even if we did.

 

I wouldn't go that far.... More a case of any port in a storm.

 

Playing out in Qatar? Why? Money or best days behind him?

 

Both

 

Pablo is a very talented , but injury prone player and chances of injury in the Championship are higher .
If he can stay healthy ...WOW !

 

Just out of interest why did he go and play in Qatar at a relatively young age? Sounds like he was more interested in the money than furthering his career

 

When Laudrup was sacked the " Spanish Armada " we're very loyal to him .
The works of them were basically benched . Poz , Michu , Chico , Pablo and a few others that elude me .
When Monk took over no 3 Spanish players were allowed to sit at a lunch table .
Everyone cleared out at season's end and some followed Laudrup to the Mideast .
Not sure if Pablo joined Laudrups team , Chico did .
The most surprising thing to me is Pablo returning to Monk ......very odd indeed .
I feel Pablo played ok for us but never showed it all for whatever reason , if he is able to show his best for Leeds .....hang onto your hat !
PS ...here is something you will see out of Monk as time goes by , it's all about him .
Monk has said in the press he's been looking at Roofe ( and Bartley for a very long time ) , basically
saying only he is reasonable for them coming in , while Evans was actually targeting them both before he left . Monk had no intention of signing Roofe IMO , but will paint a very nice portrait of himself as a hero . Prepare for egotistical post match interviews when you win , and maximum excuses whenyou don't .The biggest thing you have going for you with Monk IMO , is his staff .
