Just out of interest was he the really good Juanfran from Athletico who looks like an old man , or that other one who plays for some other team ?
Has there ever actually been an official comment on him? It's always seemed to me that everyone has taken it as a given that he's been our player, but I've never actually seen it confirmed.

The Spaniard has made a great effort to anchor again in A Coruña. Juanfran is about to return to donning the shirt of Deportivo. There is total agreement, pending only minor details that Madrid will become the right side Espanyol for the next four seasons, plus an optional. Juanfran's return was a desire both to their performance on and off the field- as Gaizka Garitano-happy club. Deportivo never hid his desire to have the Spaniard, but had assumed it would not be an easy operation. High financial claims of the owners of the rights to the player were the main impediment. The club has been able to bide his time to jump to the side, and the will of this has been decisive. Juanfran has had several offers, all higher than the figures handled Deportivo. Sets Russia, Italy and even Spain have offered significant amounts to the player to get your pass. Juanfran's response has always been the same: negative, aware that the supply of Depor eventually arriving at the right time. In the end, the will of all parties have agreed: signing Juanfran decision, the reduction of the claims of the owners by Juanfran, and an effort by the coruñés club. Over the next few hours should be confirmed the return of one of the most widely used throughout last season players and therefore stressed its commitment and its versatility.
