Mike Newells Sexist Army 2 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 He must be close to getting sacked after recent results and lack of goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Stars Bearette 1 Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 better record than Boydy Costly was on fire for his previous club CD Platense, scoring 30 league goals in a staggering 18 matches. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
papaguy51 912 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 11 goals in 37 for his new club, according to Wiki. Never actually heard of him OR his current club to be honest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

blyth 3 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Haha Carlos Costly, Big Eck is writing his own managerial obituary by signing a guy with a name like that. It's almost like giving the journalists a blank cheque. Classic McLeish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMWWBK 0 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Another obscure South American signing from McLeish then. I swear he has some strange confidant over there. We all know about Nieto, but i remember the time we were in the hunt for a new striker a few years back and the usual Robbie Fowler/John Carew/Alan Smith names were doing the rounds. It was to everyone's surprise when pics of Eck watching the then unknown Luciano Figueroa at La Bombonera turned up in Mondays tabloids.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pity it all went tits up. I'm sure that, in an odd twist of fate, Figueroa did actually turn up at Birmingham following the breakdown in his Gers transfer.

Wasn't it Bain that completely destroyed it? I remember Figueroa's agent said that he was the most amateurish director he ever had the misfortune of dealing with. He'd probably have scored goals in the SPL. It went sour for him at Birmingham due to injuries and the player himself just not being ready for that level. He scored 5 against Boca Juniors and the European press went into hype overdrive with him. Of course, they chose to ignore the fact that it was basically a Boca Juniors B side he scored the goals against as they rested their entire first team squad in said match.

This is true, he went there and managed a single appearance before they annulled his contract. He's actually on loan at Boca Juniors at the moment.
