You really are being naive if you think that someone like NW would sign any player like that. He is probably one of the most thorough managers around in terms of research on players and making sure they fit in with the rest of the squad before signing them.
"He played on Friday at Bournemouth and was mentioned to me before that," said the Yorkshireman.

"We had someone at the game at Bournemouth, talked to him at great length and then looked beyond that.

"Once we knew he was considering coming to us it took a whole new ball game because he's a good player."

Doesn't sound like we had been chasing Camarasa for months.
