Renton 21627 Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Albert luque jetted in to tyneside this morning to complete a medical. 19014[/snapback] You seem to be getting very excited about Luque. How much do you really know about him? I'm not saying he is not a good player, and not trying to put a downer on this, but I can honestly say I had not even heard of him before our interest. But several threads have popped up from NUFC fans saying what a fantastic player he is, and they know this from watching Spanish football. Deportivo? Really? My concerns are that he is overpriced, he won't fit into the PL, he won't score enough goals (Souness has already said he is not prolific), and that he is joining us for a big pay day (papers have reported he has been enticed by a large "cash sweetener"). But I really don't know, I'll just have to wait and see. If we're really lucky he might be nearly as good as Robert! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrkikiet 0 Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 earlier on this summer, when barca were looking for a new striker, there was talk that they had promised to sign luque this time next year. He has been looking for a move away from La coruna for a while. I saw him play the second half for La coruna against Real Zaragoza last season and also on Tv a couple of times and he seems to be a mre consistent player than Robert, prepared to run at people. 10 goals a season would still make him quite high up our top scorers charts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufc1984 0 Posted August 26, 2005 Author Share Posted August 26, 2005 luque is a superb player,i like watching the spanish games when they are on sky and i like him when i saw him play he is just amazing,he walked through ac milans defence,so he must be strong and fast he scored goals against top teams such real,barca,juve,milan etc etc so i dont think he will have problems scoring goals against the likes of arsenal,manure,chelsea liverpool etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4ever 0 Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 I'm excited about signing anyone. It's got to that stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adios 717 Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 I think Renton may just be a little wary of people who've based their opinions on a highlights clip and/or his stats in Football Manager. I'd also like someone who's watched him regularly to let us know his positives and negatives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetleftpeg 0 Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 £9.5m is a lot of money though. I understand Renton's point. I remember when AC Milan sold us a promising young Swedish International forward... As Souness said himself, he'll get into double figures, but he's not a 20 goals a season forward.

Anyway, hope he makes a useful addition to the team for our next manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone puts up a compilation of clips from four year's worth of football and people shout 'He's ace! Get him in! Pay £20m!'. Stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
