VV was thought within La Masia as better than Messi when they were coming through together, until injuries hit him. He came through with Pique, Cesc & Messi in the same group. Pure winger.

[Gav]

Victor Vasquez - don't know to much about him but he's an attacking midfield player by all accounts, so ticks all the boxes, how old is he?

[BuckyRover]

23

24 on Thursday

[slough_rover]

Wayne Brige has had a shocker on debut. Im glad we never went in for him even though we need a LB.

[philipl]

He is 24 in 5 days' time. Only appeared in 102 Barca B games and 1 Barca Liga game whilst making 2 Champions League appearances.

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

Can't read too much into his lack of Barca A appearances. Just because he's not better than Messi doesn't mean he's bobbins.

This: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%C3%ADctor_V%C3%A1zquez is what Wikipedia has to say.

[Hughesy]

Thought nicko said NOT Victor Vasquez?

Was this player due in this weekend?

and just because he's at Barca doesn't mean he isn't. Let's wait and see, but it's a massive step to make it regular in the PL.

Mind you, at that age I have my doubts.

[Stevo]

Yeah, that's what he said, but Nicko isn't all-knowing by any accounts (though his input is massively appreciated). Other sources have claimed that we are likely to bring him in.

Cracking winger if kept fit, worth a punt and fits in with what the new owners seem to be looking to do, bringing in younger players with potential, and adding more experienced players on loan. Smart plan really.

[Fylde Coast Fan]

Nicko missed Jermaine Jones but that was a surprise name to just about everyone. If he's saying no to Vasquez it's because he's asked his source at the club and been told no. Doesn't mean it's definitely not happening though, obviously. Would expect if it does then the Adam deal is off.

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

and just because he's at Barca doesn't mean he isn't. Let's wait and see, but it's a massive step to make it regular in the PL.

I like it. I look at the positive, you look for the negatives in every situation.

Like a messageboard Yin and Yang.

[Bobby G]

Yep he is at an age where he has to be playing. Not young anymore. Guardiola wanted to decide this season whether he can stay in the squad or not, but injuries have hit him throughout his career.

But he "had" the potential to be someone special. Considering the way things were, Im guessing that the ability has never reached that level.

[philipl]

Why don't you ask your mates inside the Rovers Hughesy?

[67splitscreen]

From a scout when asked for his opinion on Vazquez and Rochina, I'm sure he won't mind his opinion being shared on here.

Victor Vazquez was out injured for a year in 2009 set him back.But now he wants 1st team football.And isn't going to get it at Barcelona,as that Messi fella is hard to displace.Contract is out in 5 months,so we can pick him up on the cheap.

Guardiola believes he is good enough to play in the Barcelona first team,so that says it all.

Been told Almeria are keen for Vazquez.

Has a hard shot from range and great technical skills which all Barcelona players have to have,other wise they are out on their ear.

Usually plays as a left winger,but can play as striker or midfielder.

Is known to always put in a shift,meant to be a thinker on and off the pitch.Is a clean living lad and keeps himself out of trouble.

Coaches at Barcelona thought he was a better player than Fabregas when at the 15-16 year old range.

The other fella is the dogs ###### too.Haven't seen much of him though.

[Hughesy]

Why don't you ask your mates inside the Rovers Hughesy?

Because I dont tend to speak to them EVERY day with the hope there is something negative to put on here about our new owners like some.

Why dont you go and ask Uncle Syed? And while your at it, ask him why the community trust that your source said had been shut down is still running as normal 3 months later?

Just been reading Kean post match comments and on jones transfer stating that:

"Then we can look and assess the injuries that are coming back and if they're coming back then that's fantastic, if not then we might add another one."

So we are looking for possibly one more singing only?

If that is the case, then I wonder why he is flying over to India?

Not the full quote...

"We've got initial paperwork for Jermaine. If we can push that through in the early part of next week then that'll be a great signing for us," he told Sky Sports.

"There was a signing that almost happened on Friday that went backwards a little bit.

"So if we can get that back on track, I'm confident that will happen, that will be another two in.

He then went on to say about the injuries and possibly bringing in another...

Possibly another 3 inc Jones.

He really does tell it how it is doesn't he? For a Premier League manager anyway.

Victor Vasquez sounds like a player we should be trying for. And is Rochina really !@#$? If so, I'm surprised Kean is interested. I have to believe there is something there as Kean does not strike me as type to throw money away.

Kean is a breathe of fresh air in many ways.

You've misunderstood the post - the scout says hes the dogs ********, rhymes with betty swallocks

the bee's knees as you were

[JamieUK]
