Nelson Valdez

The other day, I read this article about Nelson Valdez of Hercules (Spain), just after they had beaten Barcelona 2-0 at the Camp Nou with Valdez netting both goals. What a fantastic back story, I think this guy's a legend and I thought I'd share.

Yup, I commented on this article in the review thread.

And he is a legend unlike some overpaid pieces of **** we see in the prem.

Yeah, he is forming a good partnership with Trezeguet. Looks very good, certainly a big chance for him with Hercules. Valencia have first option on players at Hercules, so he may go there.
Hercules got a great deal as well. 3m for him from Dortmund, for a player who did well at the WC as well.
