As above really, 25 year old Spanish forward. Prefers to be central, but often used wide in a three. 5ft 11. Not exactly a remarkable scoring record. Linked to Spurs and Liverpool in the last year.

Haven't seen him play this season, but I remember at Oviedo, Depor and for Spain U21s he would play on the right wing a lot.
Far too inconsistent and capricious for me personally, wouldn't be too pleased with us signing him for anything other than bargain bin price. But if Mauricio and Nicola believe in him then so do I.
Nope! Just a message I got from the old man when he got into work and found the old papers lying about. They're a day or two old. There's a Spanish article quoting the Daily Star as a source though.
I quite like the music track. It's got a sort of Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder feel to it, with perhaps a dash James Brown and Isley Brothers thrown in. Not the sort of music I'd buy, but definitely better than most of the hip-hop crap I can't avoid these days.
Indeed . According to the BBC they have got him for £8 Million , his buy out was £18.5 million , they are deperate for the money .
He's an exceptional player who's appearances have been limited because he is behind Falcao and Costa in the pecking order. He is a full Spanish international which should tell you all you need to know about his quality. He would fit in perfectly with the way Pochettino wants to play. Would be a major coup if we can pull it off, although Arsenal seem to be the front runners for him.
Yeah I'm not too fussed about Van Wolfswinkle, he is a very strange one in that when I have seen him play he doesn't strike me as being good at anything yet still scores. I don't think you could describe him as quick, skillful, strong or good in the air, but somehow he still manages to score goals so he must have something.
