His goals are amazing, looks a very decent punt.

Finances obviously dictate and we don't really know where those stand at the moment, but we could have done someone a bit more established than the punt that this appears to be. 

Such as?

Bit of a redundant question unless you know the budget we are working with and who is available at that budget and willing to come?

I thought you said 'finances dictate'?

They do and I don't know what our current finances are.  I would have preferred a more established option, but accept that the finances might have dictated that we couldn't afford that kind of player.

As I say though, what we've paid might be all we can afford, so expectations need to be adjusted and we might well have got a good deal for the price.

I love it when they say things like, "It's an honour for me to defend these colours".

Oh those Spaniards have a way with words, sexy charmers.

Other observations:

Started out as a winger just like his rival Matthew Cash. Explains why he looks so confident going forward in those clips.

The Bodymoor IT person responsible for adding new profiles to tech aint a languages person (unless its code). Andrés, not Andreas, por favor.

Goosebumps = "Pelos de punta" Love it, never realised.

Any Spanish player at that age who has come through academics in Spain is going to be technically and tactically enhanced.
Basically he's going to be a very good footballer.

I have high hopes and expect him to be the right back sooner rather than later. It seems like it was worth the wait for a right back.

He's already made Cash up his game but I suspect Garcia impact is going to be Moreno level and then some.

Monchi Magic signing !

Started off as a winger then became a full-back?

Sounds like Gidman and Swain!

No pressure, Andres...

I admire your faith but a word of caution: he cost less than Nedeljkovic and is yet to represent his country at full squad level (yes, Spain is a different proposition to Serbia; I know). Transfer-value doesn't always indicate ability, of course.
Ned is clearly 3 years' behind in age but is he in terms of development?
They both seem like very similar players and both will have to dislodge Cash who - despite some views on here - is having a very good season, in general (albeit in a inconsistent team)..

I think he will go on to be a very good signing.

Forgot/didn't realise that Ned cost more. Hmm...I wonder do we still have highest hopes for him.

We might see him for the first time tomorrow. A shame he might play his first game in a bit of a makeshift defence.
