Almunia finds new club

Almunia has undergone a medical at Cagliari

Good luck to him! Great servant for us

 

Good news. I'm pleased he's finishing his career in Spain as he wanted.

 

Isn't that the other club the Leeds owner has?

 

Wait for it....

 

But Cagliari's in Italy...








































Italy=Spain

 

Cagliari's in Canada you nobs.













Please recycle your jokes wherever possible.

 

Hmm, wouldn't quite put him in that category myself.

 

I thought Cagliari was a squid dish and Manny had just had some sushi

 

Zeman is in charge of Cagliari. If Almunia is gonna be #1, they're gonna concede a ****-load of goals.

 

Traitor

 

Nope, he sold them.

 

Good, they can now play in purple and re-use the number 17 shirt

 

That's Alumnia's number. Hopefully the Granada fans won't boo him when they play.

 

How do you pronounce Cagliari?

 

Cagliari.

 

Good keeper and will reach legend status for the penalty save against Leicester, but he tended to hand in a sick note if we were playing north of Birmingham.

Best wishes to him anyway.

 

Think it's off. Problems with his medical.

Failed three medicals apparently. He was even prepared to be their 2nd or 3rd choice keeper.

I find that slightly surprising. I know he missed a few games for us, but nothing that would lead me to think he's a complete crock.

I would be more than happy to him to come back to us, as cover, if the Amelia deal does not go through.

 

His legs were well and truly gone while he was with us. Almunia really did give his all to play for us.

 

FML :doom:

 

Wages.

 

His failed medical explains why we were/are so ****.

 

Was it muscle imbalance?

 

According to an interview with Cagliari's owner, Almunia has apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Dangerous condition with risk of death if no cautions are taken.

I'm afraid he must quit his playing career. Best of luck to him.

 

Holy ****.

 

Wow, same thing as Marc-Vivien Foé had. Hope he gets it looked at and I wish him well!

 

Holy **** indeed. Better he finds out via a medical than on the pitch. Wonder how long he's had it ?

 

Best of luck to him. To have had a career like has with this undiagnosed is very fortunate. Hopefully he can get it sorted.

 

Poor old Manny all the best to him

 

Sad news for Manuel.

Lets hope he gets some decent media or coaching offers.:sign15:

 

Bloody hell, lucky for Manu considering how worked up he used to get.

 

Thinking about it he probably needs to flog his haunted house.

Does this potentially highlight that we have a poor medical screening process? I may be wrong but isn't this a condition that you have for life? If so, why didn't the club pick it up?

 

True but then the Arse didn't pick it up either.

 

Well, he'll always be remembered for that slow motion double penalty save Vs Leicester.


Seemed like a very decent and down to earth fella too. I liked his translation/interpreting work in the early Pozzo days.

Hope things go well for him in the future.
