Ruben Suarez then? As mentioned on the other thread.. where someone quoted a Spanish source saying he'd been offered a deal too. Working through the reports using flaky internet translations, it appears that the Levante forward was a huge hero though but opted not to stay on because of a dispute over the length of the contract. A few days ago they were saying he was moving to China but a report on Monday seems to suggest that he has had second thoughts on that on the advice of a friend (he's got some former team-mates out there).

A short-arse by the looks of it so not the big man Gus is after.. but maybe he falls into that category of too good to ignore, a bit like Vicente last season....

Gus said there would be another two players to "help him" (Vicente). Do you think that could actually mean two players who he has played with before?

EDIT: I had seen he was going to China, where did u see that he had changed his mind?

Hmm. Looking at it again, I've found a different translation which seems more solid on him going to China. It sounds like a done deal but raises the prospect that he may find it hard to settle as he's been warned that Ghizhou is no Peking - and therefore could make a quick return.

In the other translation, it sounded more like he already had cold feet and was still deciding...

Here you go.. clear as mud :smiley:

Rubén goes away and it will finish its career in China unless on the horn he(she) begins(throws himself) for behind(back), a little that it is not necessary to discard because Friend has been sincere at the time of telling to him that Ghizhou is not Peking. The economic(economical) offer is irrechazable, but the Asturian is afraid to come there, that him(her,you) falls down quite above and to turn(become) to Spain. Of course it will not happen, although that if he(she) decides to throw(add) step backwards(reverse gear) the Levant and the Sporting would keep on receiving with open arms.

So he's in talks with Gus?

Plays for Valencia in a position we definitely need to strengthen (LB), so he must be signing? Surely?

This was the one I think. If you put his name into Google News there are loads of stories...

Rubén Suárez no se merece un adiós tan pobre. Lo de despedirse aprisa y corriendo en Facebook es absurdo. Encima a destiempo y sin la verdad por delante. Aunque fue de cara al explicar en privado los motivos por los que no reconocería la oferta de China, tampoco tenía ninguna necesidad de mentir, pese a estar en su derecho. Lástima, sinceramente, que los que le compraron la cabra hayan quedado en tan mal lugar. Es una injusta recompensa después de haber sacado tanto tiempo la cara por él. Excepto a quien le faltó tiempo para negar a SUPER, nadie se lo merecía. Con decir que estaba valorando esa opción, que es la verdad, habría sido más que suficiente. No hacía falta que detallara pormenores, con independencia de si al final se iba a Gijón o a la Conchinchina. Aquí tan sólo importa que ha llegado el final de unos de los iconos del Levante.

Por ser un grande de la historia granota hay que entender los motivos que le empujaron a hacerlo y, por supuesto, perdonarlo. Hay que homenajearlo y que se despida como toca. Por honrado, por buen tío, por simpático testarudo, por extraordinario profesional, por su agradecimiento al club y porque el día a día con alguien que ponía silicona en las chanclas de los compañeros ha sido una gozada. En Orriols lo saben y seguro que van a estar a la altura.

Y eso que objetivamente la recta final de Rubén ha sido muy difícil. No pudo despedirse en el campo y hubo momentos de la temporada en los que sus compañeros hicieron como Bonucci con Balotelli. Con tanta tensión, era darle a la mojada y que sus palabras retumbaran en las oficinas. Las mismas a las que el miércoles no subió porque una vez llegó al aparcamiento dudaba si bajarse o no del coche.

Aunque a la baja, el club tuvo la deferencia de pasarle una oferta de renovación. Era un jugador que, con los minutos en la mano, no podía ser un objetivo deportivo. Pero se tenía ganado quedarse: nunca hubiese estado de más. En contra de lo que piensa el personal, por cierto, también Juan Ignacio avaló su continuidad con esas claves. Que el pasado martes Quico Catalán estuviese reunido con su agente oficial gustó poco porque a posteriori se supo que los tiros entonces apuntaban ya a otro lado.

Rubén se va y acabará su carrera en China salvo que sobre la bocina se eche para atrás, algo que no hay que descartar porque Nano ha sido sincero a la hora de explicarle que Ghizhou no es Pekín. La oferta económica es irrechazable, pero el asturiano teme llegar allí, que se le caiga todo encima y volverse a España. Seguramente no ocurrirá, pese a que que si decide echar marcha atrás el Levante y el Sporting lo seguirían recibiendo con los brazos abiertos.

Conor Sammon is a name I've just been texted.

1 goal in 21, so hope my source is as useless as usual.

Goal scoring record is poor but would still be surprised if Wigan let him go, he looked promising last season. He was mainly used as a sub to mix things up or close out games towards the end of the season. Good work rate and physical presence so he'd do for me.

Instead of the Greek being touted?
