Striker Adrian Colunga Signs Two Year Deal (Update)

[BHA007]

He cost 1.4 million euros. Seems a bit steep and only a 2 year deal.

They said that it was his value not what we paid , he had his contract terminated I believe

Getting excited now as we have exciting players that will finally entertain us

A lot of money for a player who is 29 with no re-sale value and only a 2 year deal.
Can only hope the fee includes all the add-ons.
Can we not go for Gary Hooper from Norwich.
Reading have enquired about a season long loan.

Fair enough. I should have translated that

well i am not suggesting the Argus are ever correct about anything but i have seen several references suggesting he was a free agent having mutually cancelled his contract

Official site said it was undisclosed.Rather believe that than Naylor

He must have been told he was going to be part of a squad of 4 or so strikers this season , like most Champ and L1 clubs. Why would he be surprised like the rest of the squad we are making more signings and getting back up to a first team squad of 23 or so players. ?

Injuries, form, luck - he will play a part and has chance to play a role. He's a different forward to both CMS and Colunga - useful squad player. Things might not work out but he presumably wants to challenge as part of a Champ squad, play for Hyypia and be part of what Albion are doing.

If we hadn't been forced into changing early due to the injuries I feel COG would have been well suited to yesterday's game, Bolton were a big side and CMS was busting a gut just trying to get near the ball.

So effectively a Free Signing

Had another look. It certainly appears we did pay that fee. That's how i read it.

 

[Skaville]

So O'Grady, CMS and Spanish Adrian. Would be nice to have one more with a bit of height wouldn't it?

As said elsewhere his contract appears to have been terminated with Getafe and he then signed for us on a free? The 1.4m Euros quote were I thought his wages?

good point, well made!

although i guess the official site 'undisclosed' could have been referring to his signing on fee (assuming he was a free agent) which i am guessing would be nowhere near 1.4m

 

[algie]

This, Jamie the Seagull take note. As said elsewhere his contract was terminated with Getafe and he then signed for us on a free. The 1.4m Euros quote was his wages.

We paid a fee.

A big strong centre forward would be the final piece of the jigsaw for now.

Surely you're not yet another idiot who's renewed their season ticket?

 

[casbom]

We paid a fee.

Yep my bad!

 

[BensGrandad]

The club site definitely says an undisclosed fee, as usual, so presumably we paid for him not free

 

[brakespear]

pleased with this
