It's San for Xisco

The Xisco kid has apparently been run out of town, with Racing Santander presumably content to pick up his exorbitant wages in the hope of getting a better return than we managed in the year he was with us.

Arriving on deadline day at the behest of the poisoned dwarf, his recruitment, and that of midfielder Nacho Gonzalez was the final straw for Keegan, prompting him to quit and the annus horribilis to begin in earnest.

As far as Xisco is concerned, other than another player gone from our miniscule squad, his loss is unlikely to be felt anywhere other than on the balance sheet.
