This is the translation:-
Villarreal CF and Wigan Athletic have reached an agreement in principle to the transfer of Marco Ruben, who will play in the Second Division to call at the Spanish Premier League. The attacker, 23 goal scorer with nine goals subsidiary yellow, who was on loan at Recreativo Huelva before his arrival in the yellow body (before he had played in Rosario Central and River Plate in Argentina), will move in the next days to England to close the finishing touches to the agreement and sign the contract.
Villarreal CF Marco Ruben thanked his dedication and wishes him the best of luck in his care
I know its not the best of translations but its ok.
Anybody else think that £5m sounds a bit steep for a striker that spent his first season with the team that ended up bottom of the division, and who is now playing Div 2 football?
(Mind you he did play for my fave Argey team River Plate, so must have summat about him)
(And I suppose we did buy Heskey for £5m-ish from relegated Birmingham after a season where he scored less than Ruben did for Rec Huelva)
We did pay £4.5 million for Rodallega, even though he was playing for Necaxa in the Mexican League. Which I imagine is a lower standard than the Spanish Division 2.
“Villareal and Wigan Athletic have reached the basis of an agreement for the transfer of Marco Ruben, who will leave the Spanish Second Division to appear in the Premier League. The 23-year-old striker for the Yellows with nine goals, who was formerly with Recreativo Huelva before his arrival at the Yellow Team (previously he has played for Rosario Central and river Plate in Argentina) will travel in the next few days to England to close the last details of the agreement and put his signature on the contract.
Villareal thank Marco Ruben for his dedication and wish him all the best for his future career.”
Didnt yse any of them, Google Translate only lets you put in 300 letters and i never even knew there was one on wiganer.net ;)
Copy and paste this onto a dozen different translation sites, and you’ll get a dozen different translations. So you are saying that you translated this without web assistance, and got exactly the same translation as Google, and as someone on another site, by pure coincidence?

Hang on a minute, half the folk who post on here have been whinging that Martinez and Whelan are not spending enough money!
Remember that Valencia was playing for Villarreal reserves when we signed him, and he didn’t turn out too badly.
