He was a popular man at the club so many of you will be pleased to know that, after some time in the wilderness Juanjo has told me he has a new club and is settling in Famagusta, Cyprus playing for Asil FC.

Juanjo had been keen to return to Inverness but sadly got nowhere with his approaches.

He wishes all at Caley Thistle well for our Championship winning campaign.

good lad, all the best to him

On that Asil site there is a YouTube clip of Juanjo's career. The last 2 mins are from his ICT days, including some goals I'd forgotten about.

Clip did not open up for me? Pity.

He isnt so fondly remembered down here in Bradford !

All Greek to me !

good luck to the lad hope he enjoys it

Highlights of that vid brought back some fond memories. Good luck Juanjo.

In a way I'm glad he didn't come back, he probably wouldn't be as good as he was in his prime for us.

A lot of effort went into that video. Some good memories, though.

Sorry but why did he leave? I cant really remember. Was it to do with his injuries?

IIRC he was a regular player for ICT, then was hit with a bad injury and was out for quite a while. When he came back he only seemed to be on the bench, with Brewster and then Charlie Christie seemingly having him out of favour. CC then loaned him out to Hamilton or somewhere, and wasn't offered a new contract. Disappeared for a few years playing for some smaller lower league Spanish sides. Over the last couple of years he went on trial with Bournemouth but they didn't rate him. Came to ICT, Brewster thought he was good but didn't offer him a contract and then went on trial with County. County felt he was a good player but felt they already had enough similar players, touting then new signing Richie Hart as one of them.

Ahhhh I see. Cheeeers :D

All the best Juanjo

Sublime piece of skill at 0.22

Brilliant!!!

Players with these kind of skills can make admission charges seem cheap.

According to Wikipedia (obviously don't know how how true it is then), he has in fact signed for Gibraltar United.

Wiki also says he made just 11 appearances for us and scored 1 goal.

I'd be interested to know who he really is playing for if anyone can find out. Asil had something about him on their official site so I'd be tempted to go with that.

All the best. Juaaaaaaaaaaaanjo!

Terrific player. Fantastic skill.

This is the first time that I have seen any real footage of him.

Beautiful athlete, superbly balanced, no wasted, effort-- not like a headless chicken running around. Acelerates effortlessly and ball control superb. Delkicate touches everywhere. Just a delight to experience his performamnce.

Maybe his greatest gift is his cool head----and his confidence.

Ah dear , why would anyone want to let him go without endless effort to keep him and allow him to improve.?

As somneone said, a joy to watch and worth the price of admission alone,

It pains me to watch that knowing we let him go. Some decisions taken by members of ICT are unreal!

You gotta bare in mind though, that after his injury he was apparently a shadow of the player he was.

I'd be interested to know who he really is playing for if anyone can find out.

Come on Yngwie, we all know that Juanjo just got a haircut and changed his name to Dani Sanchez.

Wiki also says he made just 11 appearances for us and scored 1 goal.

I'd be interested to know who he really is playing for if anyone can find out. Asil had something about him on their official site so I'd be tempted to go with that.

i think the 11 starts refers to his loan spell at Hamilton while he was with us. I don't know how many appearences he made but i'm pritty sure he got something like 7 or 8 goals before he got crocked.

According to this very site's stats he got 6 goals from 28 starts. And one red card :huh:

There are definitely playing similarities between Sanchez and Juanjez.

Danny Sanchez, Juanjo in discuise(spelling)...nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
