Its difficult if not impossible to say whether he is only a Matri/Quag level CF or not but I'm still excited to bring in a striker with different attributes to any of our current forwards.
Yep, I can't wait to see him here next season. A big man with great heading ability, and adept with the ball at his feet excites me. Offers something completely different to all of our forwards.
To be fair, "El Rey leon" is a totally wrong way of calling him. This "name" was given by spanish media from Madrid (no body in Bilbao or Basque country did it) because he has been the top scorer of Athletic Club last three years. The popular name of Athletic Club in spanish league is "The Lions" (The simbol of the club is a lion), that is the reason of "Lion King". From the moment he leave the team or just became to be a back up player, you can't call him "El rey leon". Nando, Fernando or Fernandito (As Javier Clemente called him) is much corret.

Anyone else think he'll get a starting spot with Spain once he comes here? Torres is shit, Villa is old and always injured. I can see him grabbing the spotlight.
