people are expecting a bit of a world beater, im a bit worried about how much we are paying him to be honest.

However, he has played quite a few seasons in the Second tier of Spanish football, so i imagine he will be fine at that level.

From what I have seen the guy can hold up a ball and he seems to know where the net is. We will just have to wait and see how good he truly is when he see him play

Very Good,
powerful, knows where the goal is, he can head, shoot, finish, assist,
Might lose a yard of pace approaching 33, still he'l be a clear cut above in the championship

I dont think he will be your typical fall on your ass spaniard that comes to england and flops like torress and morientes,

I would expect something like 15 goals from 33-35 games from a striker of 33 in the championship 46 games would be a huge ask

if we can get 20 from another striker and our midfielders all on scoring form its often going to be enough goals to exceed 80pts

I'm hoping he's going to be a bit better than Cornelius.

Just seen his goals on Red, no sorry, You Tube! Class striker, if we can supply him with decent balls into the box we could have a real winner on our hands. Quite excited about this signing.

Let's not judge on YouTube or stats. Remember Cornelius and Velikonja?

Cornelius and velikonja played in shit leagues. This guys a proven striker in the Spanish top flight. 15 goals this season for a shit team in a tough league. He has nothing to prove with those stats.

This may be, but the Spanish League is nowhere near as tough and competitive as the Championship. At 32 he may not have what it takes for English football. Especially as other than the last few years, he's played the vast majority of his career in a league no better than League 1
