Inigo Calderon appreciation thread

[Wilko]

You might have to think of whether he considers himself Spanish or Basque.

Good point, which city/town is he actually from?

 

[The Large One]

He is from Vitoria, in the Basque region and played for Deportivo Alaves, also in Vitoria.

But whether he considers himself Basque or Spanish (or both) is another matter.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

*cough* Norwich *cough* Swindon.

winger got to the dead ball line to pull a cross back. I think he is great - but we don't want too much of that.

Also great dummy by Hendrie.

 

[Coca-Cola Kid]

He drinks pint of sherry,
Calderon!!!!

Absolute superb player, the perfect solution to our poor choices at right-back IMHO

 

[Laughing Gravy]

He's the dogs bollocks

 

[Notters]

It's hard to believe he couldn't get a place in Spanish football isn't it? Is it something to do with his style?

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

i'm so pleased that the anti-flair MAFIA have been quashed

some of us KNEW he was going to be good the moment we saw his name

i'm delighted that people are starting to buy into my way of thinking

 

[Man of Harveys]

Definitely. The man was simply found to be TOO stylish even for the land of Picasso, Miro, Gaudi...

 

[JJ McClure]

He was simply outstanding on Saturday. If he'd scored with that effort where he cut inside I think I would have shot my man juice.

 

[Pavilionaire]

He needs a song. I suggest a bit of Neil Diamond:

"Hands...
touchin' hands...
reachin' out...
touchin' me,
touchin' you!... da da da

Sweet Calderon
good times never seemed so good.
I've been inclined
to believe they never would..." etc etc

 

[KNC]

I may get an Alaves shirt, which brilliantly, is B & W stripes.

You wouldn't have been alone.

 

[BHAFC4EVER]

Calderon aswell as Painter have to be first priorities when Gus finally decides its time to start sorting out contracts.

 

[Mendoza]

He needs a song. I suggest a bit of Neil Diamond:

"Hands...
touchin' hands...
reachin' out...
touchin' me,
touchin' you!... da da da

Sweet Calderon
good times never seemed so good.

to believe they never would..." etc etc

Liking that, I may have to work on that

 

[KNC]

....... and I'm going to get a contract out on Robinson!!!!

 

[Norman Baker suck my lozenge]

He is from Vitoria, in the Basque region and played for Deportivo Alaves, also in Vitoria.

But whether he considers himself Basque or Spanish (or both) is another matter.

In that case I may wear a Basque to the Southampton game.

 

[trancing]

pure class, get him signed up on a long term contract soon

 

[hans kraay fan club]

I love him. My boys love him. Even my DAD loves him.

My 11 year old has already asked for a Calde shirt for next season.

He is f***ing AMAZING.

 

[defrocked priest]

Calderon is beyond awesome. Makes you forget about Andrew whats his name.

Sign him up long term.

 

[themightyalbion]

Need to sign him doublequick time on a 3 year deal, before someone else nips in to whip him from under our noses! I would suspect that Gus has him and about 5 others as the basis of the team to get us into the champonship!
