You'd better make it an easy one as we don't want people losing heart. I gave them the hard bit, no.8, but I'm willing to post the Slippy G video if anyone doesn't believe me.

I sometimes catch La Liga highlights and he is back at Celta Vigo and scoring for fun. He averages better than a goal every 2 games and looks very good indeed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he could have been given a bit more time at Anfield but was up against Suarez, Sturridge, Sterling and Coutinho for a place so was always on the periphery. BR loaned him to Sevilla and then JK sold him when he arrived. Sometimes the pace of leagues doesn't suit some players and Iago was certainly happier being the 'big fish' when he returned to Celta.

RickG16 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Both of those are wrong. Trying to think of a good clue... this guy once got called up for international duty, but prefered to concentrate on his career with a Midlands club at the time. He could have qualified for England, and the country he got called up for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
