I really like this signing!!!  He has played at the highest level in Spain his whole career and while the bottom half of La Liga may not be much above the Championship it goes to show his quality!!!  Obviously with any foreign player he will need to get up to speed with the championship but I think this guy could excel for us!!!

All the new players are now added to the OP.

So what do we still need???  We have now signed 7 players, 1 GK, 3 defenders and 3 midfield but bearing in mind we have seem 13 players leave the club the squad is still a bit thin, particularly in midfield.  Maybe Pamler and Helan will be looked at as midfield players under CC but that will leave us seriously short at LB.

I think we still need a CM, a winger as backup and definitely a LB.  A proven striker would also be nice to see but I think that may come in as a loan.  One note, we now have 3 loanees in the squad with a maximum of 5 allowed to be in the matchday squad, something to watch out for as we go through the season.
