He's with Sevilla in Spain now for two years, I would say let's keep looking and see what he does and that can help to give us a better idea if we should aggressively pursue this man.<br />

You have to admit our team can be aggressive and passionate when it comes to defending, but  when it comes to attacking and scoring, we lack abilities there.  Jorge is notorious for being attack minded.<br />
