Not least, he has never played anywhere other than sun-soaked Tenerife, and our history of Spanish signings is NOT good!
First of all he has never played in the top flight of Spanish football, so he is a risk on that point.
The thought of Albert Luque and Marcelino frightens the crap out of me.
Two players who didn't take to rain-lashed St James' Park in August - never mind the snow and ice in December!
Today Colombia star James Rodriguez says he would be interested in a move to La Liga in the future but would not sign for a team in the Premier League.
The World Cup’s current top goalscorer and his impressive tournament has led to increased speculation about his future at club level.
Rodriguez only joined Monaco from Porto in a £34million deal in the summer of 2013 but he was previously linked with Manchester United and Chelsea, while Real Madrid have also been credited with an interest.
The 22-year-old said in a Q&A with adidas: “I have said in the past that I would like to play in Spain one day, because it is a league that is good technically and where you get a lot of touches on the ball, which is my style.
“The Premier League is too physical."
As for Perez, let's see how he performs in the winter.
