MAKE YOUR MIND UP LAD

Joaquin in the Super Soar Away Sun:

“The deal depends on Lopera (Betis President) but whatever
is done I want Betis to do it soon — whether they sell me or
renew my contract. Betis are my team. I’ve loved their green
and white colours since I was a kid.

“But I’m flattered that a massive team like Manchester
United are interested in me. If I’d been told that three
years ago, I would have burst out laughing. When I dream
about linking up with Van Nistelrooy, I get the sweats. To
lay on passes to a player like him would be sensational.
It’s a daydream, but the great Dutchman would get top
quality service from me.

“To play for United would be like running out in front of
the bulls in Pamplona.”

However having a pop at Roy Keane may not be the smartest
thing to do if you want to move to United. Apparently he
‘scoffed’ at the idea that any player turning United down
need their head examined:

“The world doesn’t end there. The English should know that
the best league in the world at the moment is in Spain.”
