I though he did ok and would have improved over time, the language barrier couldn't have been much fun tbh. I think quite a few of the posters on here could go anywhere and maintain their performance. Bull is bull in any language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richinspain Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Ronaldo isn't happy with him either. Says that Raul elbowed him. After the game Raul said on the tv that these things happen and after the game it's all forgotten about. At that moment Ronaldo walked past him and if looks could kill....

If he's been smacking that little gobshite around then Raul is my new favourite player and should be brought back immediately. We can send him and Bucko round to Fawaz's next time he's slow paying us our cut of gate receipts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd had City on mine so luckily/unluckily Albentosa wasn't the sole coupon destroyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irobinson Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 IMO - never make a decision until you have too. And we don't need to on Raul just yet, as: 1. we can find a buyer in the summer - if we are in the championship next year and he doesnt fit in - just sell him 2 if we wanted to keep him - and he adds something to our squad (i.e. better defending and a right foot volley into the roof of the net! - and we could get promoted - we can do better to help him this time 3 he is our player - and if he keeps playing better - the price could go up 4 We could still get our Casternet, Spanish flag and Ole's going on a day out.....

Got to say this is one of the bib best myths in football....the "settling in to a new culture" rubbish. I have lived in France, Switzerland, Germany and now the US of A, all very different from Gods country in many many ways and I did this without the assistance of being paid thousands and thousands of Euros/dollars a week and having a personal assistant and a football club doing everything for me. Then I had to find myself a job and all that goes along with that. Do you honestly think that Albentosa had to find a school for his kids? (if he has any?), find a new house, a new car, get his paperwork sorted etc etc etc of course he didnt, the only thing he had to remember was his football boots and by all accounts he forgot the insoles from them!!! Just another excuse for footballers in general to hide behind. He was rubbish, in any language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd be good for us in the prem, if he wanted to come back. He's done very little wrong in La Liga this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one did anything at all to help me and I managed just fine and still did my job well. He could have afforded a whole load of PA's to sort his stuff out, he only "works" a couple of hours every other day, there is absolutely no excuse for it other than he isn't a good footballer.

Well, he is a good footballer. So there must be another reason. Perhaps he's just not as independent as you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
