Popular rumour sites keep throwing names in from leftfield almost every single day at the moment.
I'm sure that by the time the World Cup is due to close, many of the players from the successful but unfancied nations may continue to provide yet further fodder, particularly for those fans of Leeds United, who appear to be bidding for everyone.
Interestingly, an original target from last seasons winter transfer window continues to appear once again. Some say on trial, others claim that MR may have yet pulled off a further signing. The player in question is Juan Francisco MartÃnez Modesto (aka - Nino / Spanish for Child).
He's no bairn at 30 years of age. Could he possibly be nicknamed for his diminutive height in contrast to many professionals at 5ft 7 in?
Currently "Nino" is under contract with CD Tenerife, who have recently been relegated from La Liga after just one season in the top flight. Speculation is now rife that their current coach José Luis Oltra's future is now uncertain at the club, fueling a number of changes and player departures.
Back in January, OnThePontyEnd highlighted Barnsley's interest in Juan Francisco MartÃnez Modesto, a fact confirmed by the player himself in the Spanish press.
Maybe MR now gets his second bite of the cherry?
The lad's goals to game ratio for Tenerife has been exempliary. Since joining them on loan from Levante, prior to his formal transfer, he has scored an incredible 61 goals in 120 appearances.
If Bogy could be used as a yard stick, with his contribution of 16 goals from 45 starts, Nino could finish on roughly 22 or 23 goals, providing his strike record travels with him.

On the 19th January 2010, according to Marca.com, Nino stated:
"They called me, but I'm happy here. Presently, I do not want to go because I have two years left on my contract."
