Zenden

[Tosh]

A regular feature about where people live/have lived and their views. Last weekend it was Zenden. One bit springs out at me....

 

"I think if you go abroad you have to try to adapt. I remember there was a Spanish player in Liverpool: all the food he got came from Spain, he only had Spanish TV, his family wasn't happy because it was raining. If you look at al the negatives and you try to keep hold on what you had before, it's never going to work. He ended up going back"

 

 

Answers on a postcard but my guess is Morientes or Luis

[chiliking]

My guess is Josemi

[baz2107]

Josemi was still here for about 6 months with Zenden too. 2005-06 season before we did the swap deal with Kromkamp

[fred milne]

My guess is Josemi

Wasn't he already back in Spain before Zenden arrived?

 

EDIT: It appears not.

My guess would be Nunez. Garcia loved it here and so did Nando.

[Swipe]

Torres?

[Stefano]

Could be Morientes. Don't think he ever looked comfortable here.

[Mike]

pretty sure thats josemi.

[Smith]

My guess is Josemi

 

pretty sure thats josemi.

 

He had a family?

[gkmacca]

He had a family?

 

Well, put it this way, whenever any family photographs were being taken in the city, Josemi raced in and sat at the front of them.

[Stevie H]

morientes had already played in a different country.

[growler]

I think its more likely to be one of the kids, Barragan maybe?

[Nerik]

Morientes had once grumbled about the weather and how his kids had found it tough initially, but he then seemed to have settled.

I'm sure at the time this was Josemi, and one of our Spanish fans posted an interview snippet once he'd gone back saying as much, although he did love the place and the fans, just couldn't make the change.

 

It's no different than Rushie's spell at Juve to be fair - 'like being in another country'

Urban myth - he never said that.

[The Hitman]

Yup.

Kenny said that he said it.

As a joke.

Widely reported as Josemi.

[Kahnee]

Widely reported as Josemi.

 

But was he still here when Zenden was? This needs clarifying

Ah yes, all that crappy Italian food and lousy weather. Can't see how anyone could ever want to stay there.
