BOF Posted July 28, 2015 Moderator Share Posted July 28, 2015 It might be a small thing and I know it was one of convenience for the club too, but I still think it's more positivity to see Gil being the one to interview Crespo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Like the way Gil says at the end, "C'est fini" - then remembers which country he's in and shouts "finished!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alreadyexists Posted July 28, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted July 28, 2015 Welcome Jose Crespo! Angel is hopefully a good omen, and Crespo (hernan) was no slouch either, this guy has a great football name. Although as many have pointed out, he's not called Jordan. However, it supports the alphabetical scrolling theory by Tim, he's finished on Jordans and moved on to Joses. My bet is the next signing will be a Joseph or a Juan.

Gompedyret Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Wouldn't be surprised if this fella manages to carve his way into the starting 11s. Think he will be perfect in matches vs teams like Bournemouth, outbearding the weaker forwards. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't know what's hit them, I almost feel sorry for their little bald faces. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alreadyexists Posted July 28, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted July 28, 2015 To the tune of 'duh, duh, duh, come on and do the conga' Duh, duh, duh, Jose Angel Crespo (repeat forever). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I'm really really not happy about this signing, in fact I'm livid at Sherwood. The guy is quite clearly called Jose, Sherwood might have the smooth talk of a used car salesman of the year 2007 but Jose isn't fooling anyone if they ain't called Jordan we don't want to know. Bit of ITK Trent, he has agreed to change his name by deed poll when he has signed to Jordan Crespo........problem solved so welcome Jordan.

lexicon Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 WhoScored tweeted this earlier: José Ángel Crespo: Made more tackles + interceptions (118) in La Liga last season than any Aston Villa player managed in the Premier League Interesting - definitely something we could do with. At the moment, I think we need someone who's all about clearances though. Laursen was absolutely incredible at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 (edited) I'm liking the name, the beard and the fact Gil has a fellow countryman to keep the happiness going. All we need now is for Jose to break some legs and I'm a happy bunny. **EDIT** Preferably not the legs of Kozak, Ayew, Gestede etc ala Clark! Opposing players from other teams please Jose.

omariqy Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 From what I have seen in videos he is pretty quick and good at making interceptions. That is all I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NulliSecundus Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Hopefully just a knock and he was taken off as a precaution. Looked fairly decent in the 20-odd minutes he was on the pitch today. UTV! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Thought he started slowly but so did the rest of the defence. Started to whip the ball in well before going off injured. Hope he's not out for long but glad Hutton is more than capable at rb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brommy Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 A mixed performance today. Needs time to settle but I suspect Hutton will restrict his first team opportunities for the first few months. After today's defensive performance, he might end up a first choice backup for CB! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Was surprised by his pace today (yesterday now, whatever). He was quite open to taking people on, Antonio being one and he's pretty rapid. Seems a decent utility option but not sure he's first choice material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
