    Well now this, I go to Watford on loan from Udinese English for a year. On Monday I travel to London :)) Looking forward to start now!

    Scored 26 in 38 matches for Granada in their promotion winning season to La Liga. Could be an interesting signing.

    Great player, great person. A killer on Segunda, but he's not lucky on La Liga. I'll be glad to answer your questions about this player.

    Well this is rather out of the blue, never heard anything of him before

    This will be our 6th loan signing, so if we play him on matchdays then one of the loanees will have to be left out the matchday squad.

    He's a 9, as we say it in Spain. A tall forward who make other players play, he can take down a goalkeeper long ball and move it to the wings players. He can fight against centers and, if he trust in himself, he can scores a lot.

    skip to about a minute and half in to see his goals.

    Sounds like he will be a good signing, looking at his goal scoring record on wikipedia (may not be true) he's scored a total of 111 goals in 333 games

    Sounds like a good player, not so sure about another loan though, seeing as we can't fit them all in the match day squad.

    wow some of his goals look great, particularly like the chip against barcelona.

    not all of them will be in the matchday squad all the time anyway though, i expect some of them were brought in for rotation with the senior squad and the U21 league.

    I expect Iwelumo to go now that Geijo is signing.

    He's not HH and for that reason, I'm out.

    Time to put this myth about only having 5 loans in the squad to an end, foreign loans are seen as permanent transfers in terms of FA regulations and thus our not part of this number.

    Leicester 3 Forest 2 in 2011

    Leicester included Naughton, Vitor, Bruma, Mee, Yakubu and Kamara.

    As for the signing, it's ****ing awesome.

    Not that I'm complaining as he looks useful, but it doesn't make sense.

    Why would he leave La Liga to come and play in the Championship?

    Is it owners orders?

    Does that mean Doyley could go to Udinese or Granada?

    Hi Roji, to be honest having seen him play a lot would just like to know what you think his biggest strengths and weaknesses are? How you think he'll do here, and how many goals you think he will score?

    Also while your here, if you've got time, would like to know your thoughts on Ikechki, he seems quite an unknown quantity.

    He's coming on loan from Udinese not Granada.

    YellowKicks, ill try to answer about Geijo. Ikechi thoughts are on his own post ;) I think you will enjoy him

    About Geijo: Biggest strenghts: He is always focused and trying to be on the game, passing and moving to be passed. He is tall and he use it to fight against the defenders, if he feels ok, he will score a lot. Weakness: He could be better with his head (anyway, he scores with it sometimes) and he had (i think) a La liga phobia, its the only way to explain how good he is on Segunda but he fails on La Liga.

    Its a great player.

    Ok, how does that answer my question?

    Maybe we should start spreading rumours about our interest in Nathan Ellington, Liam Henderson, Pelé (now), and George Weah's cousin.

    If this is true and all of the new players gel we could do really well this season. I think one more wide player and we are there. Just need to trim a bit of dead wood out now. I think only 5 of the squad from last season would get in any other side pushing for the top of the table. I know it's harsh but last year we were a mid table team punching above expectations so the squad does need thining out.

    Well he's not leaving La Liga is he?

    Good one.

    Ok why's he leaving Serie A then?
