Any bets on when he gets admitted to the Germano Treatment Centre? Loan makes sense in terms of fitting him under the cap for the remainder of the season. Probably an option to buy i'd say if he's as good as we hope he will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 (edited) I think a telling quote from Davutovic article Quote City tried to sign Susaeta six months ago, before his brief spell with Japanese side Gamba Osaka. Given the context with Rojas etc. To give the club credit. What is it? Over 500 LaLiga appearances? Under the cap?

Over 500 appearances for Athletic Bilbao in La Liga, Europa, Copa Del Rey and Champo. The key factor is that he's not played here before and Rojas has, and Rojas has done well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dylan Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Another bombshell in the Davutovic article. Quote Melbourne City believe they have unearthed the A-League’s new Diego Castro, signing Athletic Bilbao legend Markel Susaeta. @Bob Latchford is Pertillo 1 minute ago, Shahanga said: This.

mus-28 Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Don't think it's a loan, more a short term contract. He was only contracted at Gamba Osaka until January 31st according to transfermarkt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrison Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Very good signing. Short term contract might just be a case of player and Club wanting to see if it goes well before committing to anything longer. Let’s hope it does.

You mean, if he can play well outside of the Basque region as well as Spain. Very good signing on paper. This is the type of Visa player than I was expecting. we still need a good playmaker though, as well as a fit Windbicher, then we'll match the smurfs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrison Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 The difference between him and say Koren is Susaeta has played the bulk of his football at the top level in Spain. Koren was mostly a Championship-level player, Berenguer a Ligue 2-level player. To say nothing of his ability to adapt to Australian football, at least he’s a proper La Liga player.
