New striker ?

[LAIrons]

Sevilla's website has just announced that Kepa Blanco will be playing for us for the rest of the season on loan, with West Ham having exclusive rights to purchase at the end of the season.

Question,how is this guy rated ?....

and secondly,am i right in thinking that Curbs might go for a right winger and then might be done for this transfer window?

Thanks...

5 appearances in La Liga 3 goals, 3 appearances in EUFA cup 3 goals, sounds ok to me.
8 games 6 goals I think we may stay up after all. Praying anyway.

He's a good header of the ball, good when there's crosses in the box and he's also balding, which adds to our balding striker quota.

My only worry is being dominant in the air in Spain isn't the same as being dominant in the air here and he'll be expected to do a lot of flick-on work that he might not be used to.

Never heard of the bloke before to be honest. Kantshootie was keeping him out of the Sevilla side apparently :eek:

Kanoute's in the form of his career though, looking every bit the player that his potential suggested. Somebody once said to me that if Kanoute could get his head sorted, he could be better than Henry. I could see where he was coming from, such is Kanoute's combination of skill and physical presence. He has something like 15 goals in 19 games so it's no surprise that Sevilla are putting their faith in him. He's favourite for the UEFA Golden Shoe too.

There's a good video from Youtube of Kepa's goals at

Lots of headers! Maybe he could teach Marlon.
