After Albert Luque and Marcelino, the Toon Army cannot wait for the NEXT Spaniard to walk through the door!
The Magpies have been strongly linked with Barcelona pair Edmilson and Eidur Gudjohnsen this close season.
Fair enough, Gudjohnsen is from Iceland and knows what it's like to have the wind from the North Sea rise up his shorts in mid-December. And Edmilson is Brazilian, and they seem to take to the physical game better than the Spaniards.
But, while United's interest in those two players remains, the Mags have also been holding talks over the availability of other potential targets from La Liga.
