El Rifle
RCD Espanyol added a new weapon to their arsenal this morning: Walter Pandiani, signed from Birmingham City for a fee reported to be in the region of £1m.
The Uruguayan striker is a proven goalscorer in La Liga, but that’s not all his new club will be getting for their money. This video clip shows Pandiani in happier times at Deportivo La Coruña . Note his calm demeanour, meticulous approach to training, and obvious ability to bond with his team mates, particularly Alberto Luque.
Birmingham City wished their departing player well; someone ought to spare a thought for his new colleagues.
Update!
The copyright fairies have removed the video clip of Pandiani’s bad behaviour. Does anyone out there have a replacement?
