interesting.. and on the positive side you can see how hard he is willing to improve and how good he can become.

The other side of the coin is that it was just one season. A lot of players have their "one season" where everything they touch turns to gold, but can never find that form again. I also get the feeling that a bad injury which would lead to a spell on the sidelines could lead  him back to the past. This probably wouldn't happen though.

Sounds promising, but beware of the "one season wonder"

Bit like Zamora this year....for the whole rest of his life, he has been utterly abysmal and embarrassing....then this year there's talk of him going to the WC....coincidentally, the same year Carra has possibly his worst ever year for the club, and HE'S going...

well i dont know how the nightlife in valencia compares with that of liverpool    but like what you guys said before, that was very interesting. not trying to draw any comparisons now, but after reading this article the fleeting thought of 'what if jermaine pennant' did that came into my head. and then i laughed.

skill wise, stats dont lie. i havent checked into the ones that were referenced in the article, but any player that completes more passes and dribbles than any of his teammates in a valencia team that can boast the wealth of villa, silva, mata, and joaquin in the starting lineup is one that we could definitely use in our squad.

somebody text mascherano to persuade him to come over.
