Valencia. Meh.

Had a holiday there last week, pretty much sums up how I felt about the place and the footballer.

With their injury problems I don't see Wham letting Valencia go this summer, and the player himself will probably think he can do better than Division 2.

Similar to Hernandez, we might have enquired and the agent might not have dismissed it out of hand initially to get leverage on a new deal.

When I went ten years or so ago I thought it was fantastic.

Best aquarium I've been to, great restaurants and a very decent beach five minutes tram ride from the city centre. I'd go back in a heartbeat.

I don't think either is "world class" but on goalscoring alone Hernandez is much superior to Valencia. I can see there being more difficulty in tying up a deal for the former, but if the choice is Valencia or keeping the money for a rainy day, I honestly think buying him would be a waste.

From Tony's tweet, I'd have thought we were closer to signing our new #9 than having a bid rejected for Valencia at such a late stage in the window.  Unless the bid is tied up with West Ham's bid for Bony and Percy has got the wrong end of the stick and there is a 'wait for it' clause in there.

Valencia for me would be Tony's first miss step in an otherwise exemplary transfer window.

The old part of the city was pleasant enough and the oceanographic was great but the rest of the place did nothing for me, the amount of dog shit you had to dodge was ridiculous, the kids loved the beach but the area around there was full of boarded up buildings and very depressing. Can't say I have very fond memories of the place and won't be returning.
