Camarasa says his farewell

[qccfc]

Indeed, I was perhaps expecting a slightly more gifted version of Craig Bryson, I was pleasantly surprised by how technically good he was and how the simple things of the game seemed to come so naturally to him.

You're right, it makes you wonder just how many such players there are like him in the Spanish market. Swansea profited by scouting Spanish players who came at realistic fees and salaries. What I'd give to have a Michu in our midfield or a Fernando Llorente type player up front.

I think Camarasa arrived on our doorstep more by luck than design - having been part of the Real Betis squad that travelled to Cardiff for a pre-season friendly and the influence his girlfriend, who once studied in Cardiff, had on him making the decision to come to us on loan.

Swansea also had a couple of nightmares in the Spanish market who they are still paying for, whilst they are on loan in Spain.

A lot of Swansea fans wouldn't recognise their record signing from Span if he sat down next to them.

They didn't have just a couple of Spanish players come through the doors of their club.. they had A LOT! The law of averages says you're bound to get a few duds.

Funnily enough, they seemed to do better in their early Premier League days recruiting Spanish players when they didn't have so much cash to splash.

yes, exactly however Swansea fans themselves feel that the Spanish market went spectacularly wrong for them, with the clubs still paying the wages for Baston Borja (Signed for £16.6m) and Roque Mesa (Signed for £11.25m).

When the going got tough they simply bailed out back home.

I don't think its safe to say Swansea profited from the Spanish market.
