San Jose and Others

[The Birdman]

Does anyone know how the lads out on loan like San Jose are getting on??
I'm sure I read somewhere the other day he has played 4 or 5 times in La Liga which has to be far far better than the rubbish reserve league and more games than he would get for our 1st team this season.

[dww]

goal.com has him having played 7 games and scoring one goal:

There is also an article from November where they talk of him wanting to come back or go somewhere else to get more games (obviously not sure how many of those 7 games come since then):

ESPN have him a whole 10cm shorter than goal.com @ 170cm (5 foot 7):

Another site has him even taller than goal.com @ 186cm:

I was looking to see if I could find a game break down but couldn't. I just couldn't believe that we were trying to nurture a 5 foot 7 centreback which really would be taking the piss in terms of our recent trend to having a shorter team.

I've seen San Jose in couple of Spanish league games and he has not looked out of his depth. Quite good in air for a tall guy :P

Might be good backup but we have The Greek.

I think he started playing around december. I scored on his debut in the Euro league vs Austria Wien. He also scored vs Zaragosa in La Liga.
He seems to be a regular now, so doing pretty well.

Any news on Nemeth?

[Resu]

Nemeth has played seven league games, 3 goals 2 assists. 2 euro leauge games, 1 assist
I have a feeling I read he was injured now, but not sure.

Yes we do. And dww IS in the UK

Sounds like he's doing well. The height inconsistency is probably due to the currency of the data, he's been growing since we bought him so probably depends when the data was collected by the various sites.

Measurements in the UK are in a bit of a mess, old *******s (40+) are still 100% imperial and you can see the cogs whiring when they watch the weather forcast trying to work out whther to put the heating on.

My generation (mid 30's) use celcius for temperature and meters for something similar sized to a football pitch but feet and inches for a person or miles for a journey. I'll buy a kilo of sugar or 2 litres of cola but 4 pints of milk. I weigh 14 stone and have no idea how many pounds or kilos that is but I do know there's 252 grams in nine ounces, go figure.

Thought I`d bump this with an update from .no.
San Jose looks like he`s doing very well. Played the entire game when Bilbao beat Real Madrid at the week-end.
Nemeth is injured, will trqvel back to Liverpool to let the doctors look at him
Martin not even in the squad for Leeds
Simon started but got subbed after 62 mins for Cordoba
Mihaylov didn`t play for Twente
Everybodys favourite Itandje is injured, he at the mighty Kavalas
