Inigo Calderon appreciation thread

[andywhing4england]

So no one's missing the clod-hopping skills of Andrew Whing then.......?

Clod-hopping skills that managed to get 73% or so of the votes for player of the year last season. We shouldn't forget Whing just because a slightly better player has come in and then throw our heads up his arse because he's playing well. When Inigo makes a mistake, i expect to see no one on here criticising him but when Whingy made a mistake he was slaughtered. The difference is this whole bloody FLAIR thing. if Whingy had big curly hair, been spanish and not been ginger with a massive chin then we will still be talking about him.Im not being sour because of my blind love and admiration for Whingy but im determined to make sure hes not forgotten. I accept Calderon is better but i wont forget the sight of Whingy sliding in time and time again with another last-ditch tackle.

i don't think anyone should dismiss whing as being shit. he was an extremely useful and hard working player, who helped us stay up last year........have people forgot everyone going MENTAL about him possibly not signing a new contract?

HOWEVER

inigo is quickly becoming my all time favourite player. He's just so CLASSY. I really want him to recommend us to a couple of his spanish mates, so we can get a few of them playing here, cracking out the FLAIRrero rocher's on a regular basis. Perhaps a classy midfield playmaker and a classy yet nails centre back........they can be called the "three amigo's" and there can be loads of pictures of them in MATADOR outfits

to make this dream come true, we need to get calderon a contract ASAP

Crofts' flying backheel to Murray when he wasn't even looking at the ball...

'Flicky, flicky' Gus called it.

Flicky, flicky it is.

That was superb wasn't it?

Calderon is already a legend. Keep him at all costs.

Good for you mate.

Conclusive proof that there is someone for everyone, out there somewhere.

If that illustrates anything, it illustrates how shithouse we were last year. Is it any wonder that we almost went down when Whing (albeit deservedly) wins Player of the Year? The improvement since almost 1 year ago to the day is hard to believe.

Calderon is undoubtably my favourite player in years. I can't ever think of a better unattached player who has ever signed for us.

 

[Simster]

I'll never forget his cracking THRIKE at Charlton.

 

[jezzer]

As for the goal against charlton, it did take a deflection peeps, but that doesnt detract from him or this thread cos he has been soooo consistent, a trait that is so sadly lacking in too many league 1 players, yes flair and all that but nothing much gets passed him either and hope he signs in the summer, fairly sure he will.

Its the day after REMF innit. You're not going to get a lot of sleep that night. Buddies at say 3.00am. Train to MK at 8....

Cult Zeros only made my dream come true

Football T-shirts, Custom-made Football Shirts made-to-order at affordable prices - cultzeros

Red, with a yellow face and the word LEYENDA under his beautiful face

That site is brilliant!

Sorry to steal your thunder, but I may just have to get something along the Calderon route as well, it'll sit nicely in my wardrobe with the Mwepu Ilunga t-shirt.

Not too sure about some of the other Albion "Cult Heroes" on there though.
Darren Carr? Zeke Rowe? Georges Santos? Really?

 

[Colossal Squid]

Fast becoming my favourite player. It beggars belief how he could have been unemployed when we picked him up.

Far too often in the past I've been wooed by signings with a "known" reputation and notable club history (Kitson, Savage and Dodd for instance) but I gloss over those who've been picked up from non-league, on free transfers having previously been available for some time or from unfashionable clubs.

HOWEVER Calderon proves this is a dud way of thinking. If Bobby Zamora was a STEAL at £100k, Gary Hart was IMMENSE value at £7k (and a set of shirts) and the sadly departed Nicky Forster a BARGAIN at £75k then I think Calderon might just be the best freebie we've picked up for as long as I can remember.

As has been suggested many a time from all corners, his is the FIRST contract the club should be sorting out for next season.

 

[SICKASAGULL]

I have longed for the day that we would sign another entertaining back like Jimmy Langley,we have him now INIGO CALDERON.

What about trying to get Wardy to come to MK Dons with us, as he will be here anyway? What do you think? The crowd would go MENTAL.

Also, LOVING the idea of going dressed as Calderon. You still thinking of staying up right through?

I could drop him a text to ask. I could stay up all night but it would involve going to MK in a suit rather than dressed as "Calde"

 

[clarkey]

His beard,
His hair,
Our Spaniard's f***ing flair,
Calderon,
Calderon.

this is excellent tbh

perhaps 'inigo's f***ing flair'

just in case of the basque thing mentioned previously

maybe once this thread quietens down we can collect the suggestions and do a poll, debut the song after that?

I deffo prefer the idea of sleeping first, at least for a bit!
