mattjtsmith Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/34720970 Worth a pop?? Why is he expected to join a 4th tier spanish side??? I don't understand what happened to the guy. Had a legendary season in the prem, then got injured and fizzled entirely. I would of thought he is worth a look at least! The big type we are after.

GrahamC Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 I'm sure the truth will come out one day but it is one weird story. A few years ago he was amongst the top scorers in the Prem, then all of a sudden he stopped scoring, his loan spell in Italy was disastrous and Swansea have clearly been trying to offload him for a year. For someone who is not even 30 to end up at the fourth level in Spain is unfathomable, there is surely more to this fall than simply a loss of form.

CyderInACan Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 Surely a "Nicky Hunt" style story. Could be worse - he could end up in "I'm a Celebrity" like Kieron Dyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelts Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 Wow just imagine the scenes if he came to us!! was a very tidy for a only brief time I wonder if someone will take a gamble on him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samo II Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 A cautionary tale about rushing players back, from what I've read, he apparently had an excellent dynamic with Brian Laudrup, but when the manager was under-pressure, he used the fact that Michu really wanted to come back to help out the team to get Michu to play against medial advice, so he came back too early, and exaggerated it. Then Monk wanted to change the mentality of the team, which resulted in Michu getting disillusioned, and guess he must be a confidence player, because he ever recovered. He'll go back to Spain, but really is a warning about players taking care of themselves when injured, as you can go from being one of the best players in the best division, to playing in the lower leagues in a pretty short space of time.

Bs4Red Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 Michu is going to 4th tier club in Spain because it's his home club, from memory him and a few other Spanish players paid around 5 million euros a few years ago to keep them from going bust. The club is Oviedo I believe. May well be wrong but think that's the reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 Dead right. He did start out there and did help to save them a year or two ago. Probably do him a lot of good TBH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 I think they were a La Liga team but heavily funded by the local authority ( it`s a working class district of Madrid I think). I believe they got relegated, the funding dried up, and they dropped like a stone. It was like a forerunner of crowd funding that saved them in the end - they`ve got shareholders all over the world.

They have a billionaire chairman and shareholders everywhere over the globe.

Oviedo is a very long way from Madrid (over 250 miles away), it is in Asturias in the far North West and is a fairly large city in its own right...
