Graneeeeeeeero

Almost missed this (Express is a terrible paper). Bit of a profile on Esteban. Sounds like an interesting character:

Dont think any of it's new. Seems the journo just had a bunch of old quotes translated.

Some of the least "outrageous" things I've ever read

I could party with that guy. Sounds intelligent and into his mavericks. I like it alot. But, yes he is about as outrageous as a naughty postcard from 1938.

I think he's more eccentric than outrageous. I'd imagine my grandpa reciting poetry without his pants on. That reminds me, Christmas shopping!

Great to see so many really positive comments from fans there about Granero.

It's the first i've heard about this apparent buy back clause though... is that right? I know they had one, and invoked it when he went to Getafe, but didn't know of anything here.

Blimey I didn't see this one either (sorry if you guys have).

Michael Cox knows his stuff too.

Sounds like some of the outrageous players we have had in the past, whom we have all loved.
