Was a good servant for us in that golden age under Laudrup and always spoke well of the club after he left.

Who does he play for now then?

Laudrup left the club six months before Fernandez joined. He came in to replace Chico.

A bit more solid defensively then Flores, but much weaker on the ball, which suited Monk.

Good player never threw his toys out the pram when relegated and even played on the opening day for Potter at Sheffield United.

Which allowed Joe Rodon to make his debut against Preston the following game

Him and his ilk playing for us seems like a lifetime ago.

Huh guess my timeline is a bit messed up I thought I remembered him playing for us during the Laudrup era
Still a model pro during his time here with us and one who deserves to be well remembered

Where did we get him from? Was it Napoli?
Took it for granted then, will be an age before we're signing Argentine internationals again.

If I remember correctly (which isn't a given these days), wasn't it FF who had a seemingly perfect header astonishingly saved by Joe Hart with a world class save?

Great player who we would have a lot longer if it wasn't for those pesky Americans

He was always going to leave once we got relegated if a respectable club came in for him.
In fairness to him he didn't refuse to play or train or any of that primadonna nonsense and he did play our first game of the season in the Championship. Newcastle came in for him then for decent money and he was always going to leave to keep his international prospects alive.
