Borja Oubiña
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Personal information
Full name Borja Oubiña Meléndez
Date of birth May 17, 1982 (1982-05-17) (age 25)
Place of birth Vigo, Spain
Height 1.80 m
Playing position Defensive midfielder

Celta de Vigo 78 (2 goals)

Spain 2 (0 goals)

Borja Oubiña Meléndez (born 17 May 1982 in Vigo) is a Spanish football midfielder who plays for Celta de Vigo.

A reliable midfielder who has only played for local club in his career, being a team mainstay since 2004, Oubiña has earned two caps for the Spain national football team, the first coming in 2006 against Liechtenstein. After Celta's relegation in 2006-07, Oubiña has stated his desire to leave, although still under contract, and, as of August, it seems that countryman José Antonio Camacho's SL Benfica is in the pole to acquire his services.

It says he is a creative midfielder!!!!!!!!!!!!!

((... Luccin has finally joined Zaragoza. At Madrid got Motta from Barça instead.))

Now, Borja could be defined as creative midfielder, but he has played in a more defensive role the last seasons. So I guess Bruce saw him as defensive midfielder.
When Celta played 4-2-3-1 he was sometimes the creative midfielder, and other times he was defensive. So... you'll just have to discover him by yourselves. He can do both, but he's more used to play defensive.
Let's see what Bruce tells him to do!

--- I've just heard Borja on my local radio. He said he refused an offer from Betis because he wanted to go to the Premier, plus DE RIDDER told him Birmingham was a great city and the club is fantastic... so he said he's really happy to come to this club.

Cheers from Vigo.

Why is this reported on BBC teletext an Sket website but nowhere else. Is the source unreliable or is Sullivan getting cold feet again?

The website says that he will play for B'ham city FC as the two clubs reached an agreement this morning. The report says:

"Borja Oubiña loaned to Birmingham City F.C. The Real Celta Club reached this morning an agreement with the Birmingham City F.C. by means of which Borja Oubiña will play in the Premier League defending its colors, loaned for a year. Borja Oubiña will travel in the day from today to the English city where, once he has surpassed the mandatory medical examination of the Club, we anticipate that he will be presented/displayed."

I can't quite make sense of the "day from toay" but but I assume it means that he's on his wau for a medical. This is an official site, not the fan site that Mido's 'deal' was announced on.

Thanks for the translation. I thought the site looked offical from the adidas advert. Hopefully subject to a medical this is a done deal,and now he is playing for us he will have an english button on his website....

Perhaps the fax, and confirmation, from FA, is still in transit ;)
Then 'perhaps' it can be 'official'!

The site is completely official. www.borjaoubina.com

I've talked to them, they understand they have to make changes. It'll be in English as soon as possible.

Believe me, it's confirmed. Borja is in England now.
