Mid-season transfers
The winter transfer window
closed last Thursday evening with no last minute surprises.The big rumour in
the last couple of days was that Mendieta would be moving on loan to Athletic
Bilbao, but in the end the Lazio management refused to let him go. The Basque
midfielder has not settled down over in Italy, and needs to get his confidence
back before this summer's World Cup. A couple of late signings in the first
division during the week, with Alavés replacing Christopher Kanu with
Gustavo Lombardi, and Tenerife signing Mustafá to take the place of
Pier. Rayo agreed terms with Racing's Vivar Dorado, and Urbano finally moves on
from the Madrid club to join Poli Ejido, where he will be playing with the ex
Rayo midfielder Poschner and Depor's on-loan young striker Changui. In all the
Andalucian club have signed eight new players this winter.
