Never seen him play. The majority opinion seems to be he aint flash, but not chopped liver either. Hard-working, simple passes, occasional creativity - a Parlour replacement? Sounds to me like Wenger has gone after the best available right-sided squad player he could find before tuesday. This has the markings of a Davor Suker-need-a-fourth-striker-make-up-the-numbers-transfer. IMO, he's a gamble for this season's tilt at the European Cup. If he pulls a Suker, or a Kleberson for that matter, no great loss. If he comes good by March (and reports say he's had a great pre-season), we're laughing.

He's defintely a squad filling purchase, 12 starts and 10 subs last year in La Liga.

Right on. He seems to be someone who can produce an occasional flash of brilliance, but he's never been top calibre for Valencia, never been called up to the full Spain team.
He'll be just squad filler - maybe bought for his experience in the CL. He's won it with Valencia, perhaps he can help our young squad learn to be winners rather than chokers.
Maybe, but until he prves me wrong I don't really feel his signing was neccessary. But in the end AW knows best and most of us might have to eat some humble pie if he becomes a hit.Jinn said:

I used to watch him regularly with Valencia a few seasons back when they were going great guns in CL. Angulo was sort of a bit part forward or right sided midfielder who would be brought in to replace Claudio Lopez or Carew to consolidate a lead. He used to blend well with their quick counterattacking style with C Lopez and Mendieta. He was never considered among the star players in that Valencia team which I admired a lot for their quick and smooth attacking style. Something similar to today's arsenal. In truth if i was allowed to raid Valencia's squad I would have been happier stealing Rufete or Baraja...and if allowed to dream then Aimar or Vicente or Ayala. What we will get out of Angulo is bit of a surprise package. Hopefully he will settle into the EPL quickly. He is used to warming the bench so wouldnt be giving the boss a selection headache, unless Freddie or Pennant gets injured. I think we will see more of him in CL matches where we are playing away from home. I still think this was a hasty decision forced on Le Boss by the quickly shrinking transfer window. Hopefully he will manage to pull in a defender as well before it snaps shut.

They say that Angulo will bring valuable European experience to the C.L. campaign this time around. I hope so...

the deal is almost done and dusted from all indications. look at this from CNN internationals (they may be yanks and know nothing about football but they rarely report bullshit)
LONDON, England -- Midfielder Miguel Angelo Angulo is set to switch from the champions of Spain Valencia to Premier League title holders Arsenal in a five million euros deal.
The clubs have reportedly agreed a fee for the 27-year-old who has travelled to London to agree personal terms.
Angulo netted 37 goals in 240 Primera Liga games for Valencia and played a key role in their league and UEFA Cup double last season.
At Highbury he will join compatriots Jose Antonio Reyes and Francesco Fabregas.
"The player will have to agree terms with them and for that reason we can't say anything until everything has been signed," said Valencia spokesman Agustin Morera.
Angulo was left out of the Valencia side which won the European Super Cup against Porto last Friday, and coach Claudio Ranieri has virtually conceded defeat in his battle to keep the player.
I think he will go, but he is the one who has to decide. I can't tell him anything, I have to respect his wishes," said Ranieri, who will nevertheless be sad to see Angulo leave the Mestalla.
"It is like losing a son, because he was here during my first period at the club and he did a lot. "Now he needs some calm to make a decision about his future and we have to respect his decision."

i think this is a big buy for us honestly. Angulp is very creative and links well with other players. he helped very much in the drive that gave valencia the UEFA cup last season. good experience in europe. i think he will eventually be a starter for us if the deal goes through. i really do. i think he is closer to a pires than a parlour. he is quick and creative. perhaps not as penetrative as pires but he will have many assists. i for one am excited about the possible transfer.

Well, Spanish press and radio stations say the agreement is broken. And Jaime Ortí said he's a Valencia CF player.
We'll know the end of the story tomorrow.
