If we were in for him i don't think we'd go for him on loan. I think we'd want him on a perm. Use the loan for a cover CM.

Anyone have any idea if Valencia are still financially in a terrible state?

lets see how long this jarg rumour sagey has made up takes to hit the Echo, Daily Mail, be on SSN, Graunaid, etc and then come full circle again on here - 36 hours?

They in the process of being taken over by a Singapore based business man apparently, wants to put €40m into the transfers kitty immediately.

Right now, yes, but they're on the verge of being taken over by Peter Lim, who's a billionaire offering to wipe out their debt and invest shedloads. Might work in our favour either way tho, if they buy ridiculous new players he won't get a game anyway.

"Paco" is a middlename/nickname thingy.

SIGN HIM. SIGN HIM NOW.

that is a very solid source.

I thought I'd heard of him, checked Wiki,

Wiki:-

Lim owns a series of Manchester United F.C. themed bars and clubs in Asia, which led to him bidding to take ownership of Liverpool F.C. in 2010, to expand the brand in Asia.[9][10] He has also been associated with bids to Rangers F.C. in Glasgow, Scotland and Valencia C.F. in Spain.

I think this notion is being vastly exaggerated.

We are only a couple of points better off than last year, we haven't achieved anything yet. And we saw what will happen last year if we do not invest in January, we will fall behind and achieve nothing once again.

It's not about the results though is it? It's about the sea change in style and attitude.

More than one journo has said that we've played the best footy they've seen this year. Did anyone say that about Moyes' Everton in 11 years?

I put one out that Ossie was going to United and that was all over the place in 36 hours, and I laughed like a drain for quite a while., still brings a smile.

I know a lot of people in Valencia and for all intents and purposes that deal is done. They will finally complete their new stadium which has been a shell for the last decade and have 50m to spend this month.

At what? Football?

At tossing the cable
