    Wasnt our own manager stung by the same (lack of) method when signing Mauro Zarate for Brum? Im sure he said something liek he would never sign anyone based on tv evidence again.

    Surely, if you keep the receipt, you can return things within 28 days if they don't match the specifications.

    Sorry, Hannover - this is what you get for buying off the Amazon.

    I thought we might take a punt on him, he's built like a brick ****house.

    I notice he scored on his full début for Rio Ave.

    I think Zarate turned out well. Nearly helped them escape relagation. He then went to Lazio on loan and then signed permanent. I think they paid about £20m for him though

    The irony if he'd been called Napolean.

    Wellington, a very English name, wonder how it got to brazil? I've heard of quite a few brazilians called Wellington.
