With both Xisco AND Colo sold, I thought I'd create a user here. Seems like I'll follow Newcastle a little, at least this season.
Anyway, Xisco is a great player, but the reason behind all the frustration, or what you may have read on our forum, is that this leaves us with only Mista and Omar Bravo for now, two strikers that really haven't proven they can be there, score the goals and make some good efforts. Also, this feels like an Arbeloa sale again, last day on the market, at a not so great price. He could've had a great season, and his price would without doubt have been doubled.
Nevertheless, you are not getting a world class talent. Xisco is great, a fans favorite, who had - and well, I guess still has, although I don't know how much playing time he'll get in Newcastle - a bright future in front of him. He's got a great shot, excellent first touch, is strong, and decent pace. But he might miss some in technique, and as well in the mental aspect, and still awaits his real breakthrough.
And to clear some things up. Deportivo-la-coruna.com (or RCDLC.com) is an official fanclub. Canaldeportivo, the official site, only brings announcements and stuff. Check Riazor.org for a Spanish website that also brings rumors, although the RCDLC-forum will do just fine.
Anyway, I believe the deal is done. Who is he gonna fight for a spot in the attack with?
