Morientes Mystery

Last updated : 20 May 2004 By Rich Godden
Morientes not only helped knock out Chelsea, he also scored twice against Real Madrid to send them packing in the quarter finals! Ironically, Morientes was loaned to Monaco this season from Real Madrid as he was deemed to be surplus to requirements.

Morientes revealed: "We are slowly coming to an agreement and we can say that the deal is 90% done.

"I really like the idea of joining that club but by the time the contract is sealed and signed it might take a little while and I might have to go back to Real Madrid at the end of the season.''

In my opinion, Morientes would be a big hit in the Premiership. His all round game against us was very impressive and his eye for goal is second to none. And with Real Madrid only asking for £8 million, he would be a bargain too! More on this story to come...
