"Let's play against a mid-table fourth-division team to prepare ourselves for the match against Manchester United that's two weeks away!"

That makes sense.

 

Re: Birmingham City F.C. (R)

Will Benitez be fit for that match? how's his shoulder?

 

Re: Birmingham City F.C. (R)

Birmingham City FC have completed the signing of Ecuador International defender Giovanny Espinoza from Barcelona Sporting Club. The 32 year old has signed a two year deal at St Andrews.

Man Utd v Birmingham

 

Re: Birmingham City F.C. (R)

Birmingham's coach not too happy about the board signing Espinoza.

 

Re: Birmingham City F.C. (R)

I saw it on Skysports news last night.

 

Re: Birmingham City F.C. (R)

Birmingham's coach probably doesn't like Espinoza coming there....I just have a feeling. I won't be too surprised if I see la Sombra benched when the season begins...although I really hope I'm wrong.

 

Re: Birmingham City F.C. (R)

Can you blame him? A 32 year old unproven PL player that probably does not speak english?? It's like Chala going to the Saints just because of El Tin, for f*ck's sake!

 

Re: Birmingham City F.C. (R)

agreed, although espinoza has been a stalwart of 2 ecuadorian WC teams. he is a big physical defender who could stand to have at least 2-3 good years in england (compare him to someone like hurtado who is a different type of defender and probably wouldnt have done well in england, even though he is arguably the better of the 2).

but youre right, i doubt espinoza sees action on the first game of the year with a new club. maybe later in the year if injuries hit the club

 

Re: Birmingham City F.C. (R)

Espinoza Signing is something they usually do in England because its hard to adapt, they get a good player and then a cheap one from the same country to keep him company.
Kinda like when Southampton got Chala to keep Delgado company.

I Doubt we will see much of Espinoza in the premiership, physically he has become ultra slow.

 

Re: Birmingham City F.C. (R)

My father said the same thing.

 

Re: Birmingham City F.C. (R)

Hmm thats interesting, I guess it would make sense. But do you think this would hurt the NT? With Espinoza possibly riding bench? Its been har enough finding a replacement...
