Roberto joins the Irons

Well, the first signing of the summer is new understudy goalkeeper Roberto who will be joining on a fee transfer from Espanyol. He fits the first requirement of replacing Adrian, in that he is known by only one name (which will surely be 'Bobby" at Stratford). Though his full name is Roberto Jiminez Gago, which makes him sound like a distant cousin of Lady Gaga. At 33 Roberto is a good age for a goalkeeper and has plenty of experience in Spain, Portugal and Greece having played more than 300 games for Atletico Madrid, Benfica, Real Zaragosa, Olympiakos (with Arthur Masuaku) and Espanyol. Welcome to East London Roberto.
