  As you say - this is Spain, which tends to mean that anything you would like to be done quickly will take 10 times longer than you think it should take.
  
  If he is to be the striker we need and want then let's hope it goes through quickly.
  
  Mañana.

  There is a story about two priests exchanging cultural differences over lunch in Rome one day.
  The Italian Priest turns to the Spanish priest and says "do you have any word meaning manana (italian version) ?"
  The Spanish priest replies " no we don't have anything that conveys that degree of urgency".
  I wonder if this attitude might just apply to Mr Ulloa getting his Spanish passport.
  I am not sure that we should wait for his situation to be resolved (a) because it might not before the window closes and (b) because, as Poyet pointed out when this story first broke, the Albion might lose out on other striker options we are apparently potentially interested in.
  Seeing Poyet's reported interview on Sky Sports News I am not sure that Ulloa wil meet the criteria of being the 'Impact' player he (Poyet) thinks might make the difference . I wonder if he has any particular additional signing in mind and whether that player would be another forward or a Midfielder.
  Pleased to see that we are signing the young Latvian defender Maksimenko. At least he should help provide some more defensive cover which has been sadly missing in recent weeks. Good to see that BHA aren't just concentrating on the striker signing.
  Looking forward to the match tomorrow. Fingers crossed..."
