Good player, when he's in the mood. I can't see this happening with us looking to make cutbacks, and with his wages we could probably get three other players in. Mind you he'd be better than Tomlin in that position, much more energy.
I don't think it would be a good use of funds on a loan player.
Agreed, unless there was some hope of him making things permanent. I never really thought that he was that great anyway, he was capable of moments of quality but did used to go missing at times.Quote:

This season and the appointment sounds like we are happy where we are , get rid of some older long term expensive contracts in the summer , and go again .
Be a good permanent signing though.Quote:

Lovely player to watch when on his game, however, I do have question marks about whether he's up to the rigorous demands of British football and the Championship in particular.
Is he even on that much money? Real Betis is not a very rich club, and he is not in their first team.
if we could get him for decent wages and offer £5m or so
Apparently he is on £65k from Palace a week which sadly is too much for us.Quote:

He had limited quality around him last season which contributed to him being "hot and cold".
He may struggle with the championship's demands but he could only have 20 games to play in it!
Would be a big statement of intent.
When last did Tan spend speculatively, as opposed to plugging the holes with polyfilla?Quote:

Why can't we afford that? That sounds like a pretty good deal to me.Quote:

How would we all feel about signing a 25 year old midfielder who has only 2 fullish seasons to his name, who got relegated from the Premier League, where he was part of the worst midfield in the division and has subsequently struggled to even make the matchday squad for another struggling Premier League side?
But we do know who he is and we know he's decent and better than what we have currently.Quote:

Signing him would transform the midfield. A midfield of Ralls, Camarasa and Tomlin in the Championship would be sublime
Won't happen though
Take away the name Bale and pretend we never knew him. How would we feel about Wales taking a 30 year old forward who's scored 2 goals this season to the European Championship?Quote:

Forget all you know about Camarasa, pretend he is nothing but a void in space and time, an infinite black hole in time itself.
How would you feel about signing him? Exactly!
In Bale's case, he has many seasons of top performances at the very highest level. Camarasa can hardly claim to have played lots of regular football before joining us. He's 25 now, not a kid.Quote:

Had he been consistently streets ahead of any of our midfield last season I'd be genuinely excited at any prospect, but then again we wouldn't be in the running for him again. I'm not saying I wouldn't have him here, of course I would, but I wouldn't spend the earth on him or give him high wages, either.
Of course he isn'tQuote:

Who exactly do you expect us to sign?
