    Was going to mention him too but thought it was maybe as his names long? Probably not.

    Thing is, a lot of foreign names aren't in the right order. Cristiano Ronaldo for example, his first name is actually Ronald or Ronaldo I'm sure.

    Ah, was half right though. Ronaldo was part of his Christened name, because I remember reading his ma named him after Ronald Regan. :smiley-laughing002:

    Really excited about this guy. 2.5M could be a bargain if he settles quickly.

    Could be a great signing. The way De boer was talking, he's a player!

    Hopefully we'll sign a better version of McManus now to partner him.

    Yh plus in Spanish and Portuguese naming custom is to carry both parent's names.Can get confusing.

    E.g
    Fernando Llorente Torres
    Fernando José Torres Sanz (Of BPL fame)
    Emilio Arturo Izaguirre Girón

    But some people like Messi are of, say Italian descent so they don't have both names despite being Spanish/Spanish speaking.

    its good to see he's not scared to tell the media to shove it, when they are asking impertinent questions
