General Chat • Re: Kiko Casilla
Can get bogged down in.the "ooo he hasnt played much last few years".
Well if he hadnt been a regular for Macclesfield then I'd be worried.
He hasnt been a regular for Real Madrid, not to worried about that, you got to have something about you to ever kick a ball for Madrid, never mind for them to sell you, monitor you then bring you back.
From reading while at Espanyol he established himself as one of the top keepers in the league.
He was wanted by plenty of the top clubs back then including Atletico Madrid, Arsenal, Liverpool and Sevilla.
Sevilla again tried to get him just 6months ago, thats Sevilla 3rd in La Liga.
I trust Guilem Balague as a pundit and especially as a fan, no bias there, if a player is poor a fan will say so.
Guilem couldn't be more positive about Casilla and he was clearly popular with his Madrid teammates.
This is a real coup, forget the Madrid spell for a moment, if we can find the player that played for Espanyol then we have a top level keeper.
