Sweetness34 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Even if the part about mistaking the first division for the top league and mistaking the bbg aren't true (which to be fair is totally believable) it's a great story. My Childhood hero. In fact, on that subject, isn't it amazing to think that stimac could be a child's hero as that child is now in his 30th year? it seems like yesterday, not 2/3 of a lifetime ago hopefully my kids will be saying the same thing about Albentosa in 20 years time!

Rampage Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Will Albentosa be moving into a Club house at first or will he running the Raul over local properties? No surprise that Raul was 'signed' on Jan 1st, so was Darren Bent and it was made official on Jan 3rd, the first day of the transfer window. This is what we have come to expect from our superb management team.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Seems strange that Spanish reports said he was signed almost 8 days ago now. Long time to sort a contract out.. Contract was already agreed - it's only the payment method standing in the way. Although, that seems to have been cleared up now. I guess he'll be in England as we speak doing one thing or another.

Stive Pesley Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Also Stimac was told Derby was near London, To be fair - in Croatian terms it is. The 3 main cities in Croatia are Split, Dubrovnik and Zagreb Split is in the middle - it's a good 350 miles to Zagreb and 250 miles to Dubrovnik We just think of London as being a long way because our cities are so close together and densely populated. Talk to Americans about London being a long drive from Derby and they look at you gone out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rampage Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 We are getting all bent osa shape over this one. Should be straightened out soon. Could be the key signing of the season, this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Seems strange that Spanish reports said he was signed almost 8 days ago now. Long time to sort a contract out.. Nothing to do with sorting out a contract - the complications are due to release clauses, Spanish FA regulations etc, as has been widely publicised.

If I want I can leave London at 12 30, go to the game and be back before 8... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweetness34 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Talk to Americans about London being a long drive from Derby and they look at you gone out! I can vouch for this..... when I worked in Omaha NE and wanted to see some NFL they told me Kansas City was local..... it was over a 3 hour drive. Whenever I visist the States for work now and they ask where Derby is, I tell them "2 hours norrh of London" and they just assume we're just outside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a lovely name; if it were not for your post I would be almost certain you were on the wrong forum. McFarland and Todd were my hero's and there skips another generation. Hopefully my kids will be thinking about Albentosa in 20 years time too, but more likely I will hear them whispering about Euthanasia and perhaps leading me along the Liverpool Pathway.

richinspain Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 So many people likening his signing to that of Stimac. Hope to God he doesn't make his debut on Saturday and we get the same result!!!!! For those who don't know how Stimac's first game ended, don't look it up you'll feel ill.
