Off to Spurs ( ) or Blackburn according to GB on Revista

Have not really kept an eye on him to see how he was getting on in La Liga, but not great seems to be the answer.

[Maldini]

He's been injured most of the time he's been there.

Was the best right back in the league for a couple of years, but he is now past his best.

Good luck to him though.

[Tosh]

If he has a strong and not really attacking right mid infront - meaning that he doesn't have to bomb up and down the line, he'll do a very good job for someone

Good signing for Hull

 

Skysports.com understands that Hull City have agreed a deal with Espanyol for full-back Steve Finnan.

 

Finnan, 32, only joined the Primera outfit in the summer from Liverpool but saw his time in Spain disrupted by a series of niggling injuries.

 

In total he was only able to make four appearances for the struggling Catalans who find themselves in the relegation places in La Liga.

 

Tottenham and Newcastle were amongst the teams interested in taking the former Republic of Ireland international back to The Premier League, but Hull have moved quickly to put a deal in place.

 

Having agreed a fee of €1.5million (£1.35million) with Espanyol, the Tigers are now scheduled to meet Finnan on Thursday with a two-and-a-half year contract on the table.

 

Provided Finnan agrees personal terms and comes through a medical, the transfer is expected to go through later on Thursday

I hear Finnan failed a fitness test. Not the medical.

 

Must have really loved the tapas.

However the Daily Mail claims his medical revealed a deep-seated problem with his left thigh and that the move is now off.
