Hector Verdes Ortega on trial...

[gothenburg_gull]

...from Barcelona (b-team).

Hoping to get international clearance for him to play in the reserves tonight.

When was the last time we had a Spanish player playing for us I wonder? (if we don't count Jonny Dixon, and I assume we don't).

Ok that's quite a good source as they go!

Central defender - can he play at full back?

 

[ILOVEBHA]

Does anyone know anything about him sounds exciting

 

[wehatepalace]

Flair name.

Quick someone sign him on football manager and see how good he is

Tis interesting. They probably want to get rid of him as their 2nd team play in the league (or two?) below La Liga and they tend to fill it with their youngsters to give them experience. At 25 I doubt he's in their plans so I guess he's being pushed. Would love to know if he's any good, anyone going to the match tonight?

 

[itszamora]

I don't care if he's good, he's got an AWESOME name and should be signed immediately, preferably to an ENORMOUS contract.

When I saw the header I thought he was a Colombian drug lord - sounds like one.

Looks like he was on loan here:

Chichirraca

in 2007 / 2008

This is him:

Here is a bad google translation from the Spanish wikipedia page:

Verdés Hector Ortega (born in Villar del Arzobispo (Valencia), 24 June 1984) is a Spanish professional footballer. It was formed in the lower categories of Valencia CF. At the end of the season 06-07, Valencia CF ceded to Xerez CD. After a year in the Andalusian team was transferred to FC Barcelona to play in its subsidiary.

And here is a very odd Japanese translation:

A section come from two belonged to the category Jerez, 185cm tall, of the central players.
"Part II B, but will not play in the category, the big clubs to play for Barca is not changed, I personally feel has to step up. To learn that many are taking advantage of this opportunity I think. "
Ruchobarusa first practice match, but he had a left central, right central second game. Showed quite elegant playing style. However, judging by past practice match He, too, as Sentorokanpisuta Solano, good ball out to touch or Derantero not expect much. Subeshi learning a lot!
Two-year contract with Barcelona. (08 September)

from this site:

02_06_Verdes

So, elegant playing style, but still learning a lot and don't expect too much. Sounds perfect for us!!

Just had the chance to check Paul Camillan's excellent BHA book, and it looks like we have never signed a Spanish player before.
