So what is happening here then folks, anybody know? I've now had text messages off two different people trying to suggest that the Fat Spanish Waiter is down our training ground   |

I'd guess that those 2 people have been reading the new signings thread. Amazing how quick things start doing the rounds.

I've just been the training ground and can confirm that Benitez is there! Just seen him watching the lads train, standing with another bloke! He must be scouting for someone!

Maybe he's after a job in the Waddington suite ?

One of the lads who text me has a mate who works down the training ground, and he had the text from him. I can't imagine there are many overweight Spanish looking waiters down there...? |

Interesting, I thought the guy at the bottom right at Wembley in May looked suspicious!

He's scouting Collins, Tonge and Soares and is looking to take them off our hands for a combined fee of £16.5m

A certain Spanish former Liverpool manager here today with the gaffer!! It would not surprise me. I am sure he said that since loosing his job he was spending his time travelling around other clubs to study how they are training and developing players. |

Pulis has done this many times with other managers. He gets them in to take a training session or to give advice

Maybe he's giving TP a few pointers on how to play european teams? After all he has won Europa and Champs league.

Whatever he's doing its a good bit of management by Tony, getting someone of Rafa Benitez's experience in to help out.
He might also be a very useful barganing (spelling????) tool for Crouchie. Afterall he did manage him at Liverpool along with Pennant.........

His (Rafa's) record in Europe is second to none. And he always got one over Chelsea.

He's invited some fairly big names to training in the past, hasn't he?

Doubt there's anything beyond a little visit, and maybe taking a little session to keep his eye in?
And it helps TP get further in with him for potential future benefit?
He certainly is far too big to have any role on our staff, isn't he?
