The eL is not and never will be the pinnacle of football. It's not indicative of any sort of bad attitude to accept that fact. You can talk about players moving on without having some sort of inferiority complex.
In fairness, I don't think six months at the team bottom of the Spanish Second Division would give you money enough to buy a house in Ireland!
With average gates of 2,500 and Spanish ticket prices very low, I doubt he'll make a huge amount of money, to be honest. I would imagine there's a huge difference between Spanish First and Second Divisions, and this crowd are effectively Third Division. It'd be purely a shop window move (if he gets it).
yeah that's some shop window!Quote:

He's in a league with average attendances three or four times the eL, and your point about distance is just bizarre - sure clubs would never think about travelling a couple of hundred miles to see a player? Or even to play against him? Or even - perish the thought - his team might travel to the bigger clubs for what we call "away games"?!

Any developments on the Dazza for Canaries story?
Apparantly it never happened.
Yeah, in today's Star it says he was at Falkirk when the trial was offered, so he couldn't go. However, Falkirk are unlikely to buy him, so he's going to Spain shortly to have his trial. They say they it's possible they'll sort something during the transfer window. Stockport are supposedly still interested.
Also, the paper confirms that Pat Kavanagh has signed for Birmingham and that the world is round.
