Rev Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 You're seriously comparing Andy Todd to Raul Albentosa, a beast of a La Liga defender? Just stop while you're behind. When he walks on the field tomorrow I am gonna go bananas, whereas you'll probably be peeling them in the tree. He cost 475k, its as low risk as it gets! If he's great, fantastic and if he's not we've not lost a great deal, but building the fella up before anyone has seen him play really isn't necessary.

Guest Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 are you bored and trying to get a bite? or are you actually just that er..... 'special'? I am comparing "expectation", you need to learn how to read and interpret what you're reading. Don't just see names and join the dots! No appreciation for monkey jokes. Get a life.

North_Stand_Ram Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Alright. He's obviously a decent player, but a few people are being slightly OTT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curtains Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Alright. He's obviously a decent player, but a few people are being slightly OTT. I think hes going to be ok though don't you. When Colin Todd was signed people thought 100,000 was a lot of money. Sam Longson certainly did but it was a Brian Clough master stroke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I've seen him play a few times, but I've never specifically watched him to be honest. From the reports I've read and general reaction, he seems a bargain at such a price but then again so have a fair number of players over the years.

Brammie Steve Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Really pleased about this! Hopefully now I'll get to see some Derby shirts around Alzira and not just Arsenal, Liverpool or Chelsea. Was speaking to someone I know through work 10 minutes ago. He's been involved with coaching here for many years and knows Raul personally (he showed me their whatsapp conversations). Says that he's a very very dedicated player, probably the most he's ever known. Was always very good in the air, but since going to Eibar has become much more of an attacking threat. Feels that he we adapt perfectly to the English game. As far as other clubs are concerned he hadn't heard anything official, but strong rumours that Sevilla (Seville) were watching him very closely!Thanks Rich. A constructive post at last!

rynny Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Andy Todd, Andy Griffin and many others played against the likes of Ronaldo, Torres (in form), Drogba, Henry etc. Who you play against doesn't make you a great player! I have to smile at this. I used to have a similar argument with a friend who supported Liverpool and Jamie Carragher. He always got mardy when I told him they wouldn't win the title until they got a world class CB and he claimed Carra was because he had played against world class players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcsilks Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 It will be interesting to see where he fits in. He'll do well to replace one of our most consistent performers in the last four seasons Jake Buxton or another mainstay in Keogh. Both Buxton and Keogh have been more than worthy of a starting place. We shouldn't assume this guy is going to perform above their level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buxtonslovechild Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I've just watched his first interview, he doesn't know a word of English. I hope it doesn't effect his communication on the field. I always thought all foreign countries were subjected to learn our beautiful language.

Dr. Gonzo Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 sounds like he should be a good signing, not sure about all the hero worship before kicking a ball though, bit weird. but if that castaignos fella signs anorl, i think our pal Ninos might become an expert with both hands.

Curtains Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Mascarell told Albentosa to come to Derby. Said Derby was a great club which it is. Thanks Omar. Seems feasible as we are fantastic right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
