OFFICIAL: Ezquerro to Osasuna

Spanish Primera División team Osasuna has officially announced the transfer of former Barcelona left winger Santiago Ezquerro (31).

Ezquerro and the club where he started his professional career in 1994 reached an agreement on a two-year contract with an option for a third season. Ezquerro joins Osasuna on a free transfer and will have a buyout clause of 10 million euro°.

The contract of Ezquerro at Barcelona expired at the end of last month and with Barcelona not having offered the Spanish wing attacker a renewal, the player was free to negotiate with other clubs.

pep's opinion:
it seemed a good transfer three years ago (he came for free and looked to be the ideal back-up for ronaldinho) but in the end the only possible conclusion is that it wasn't that good after all. he added very, very little in those three seasons, i even think barcelona didn't win one single game with him as a starter. he got few chances, but there was probably a reason for that. although his apparent unwillingness to leave before his contract expired was rather disappointing, he seems to be a great guy. thanks and good luck to him.

Best of luck to Santi, whom we nicknamed Santi Claus over at The Offside, because it would be Christmas in Hell before he saw any playing time again.

He's talented, but just couldn't find his way among such a talented bunch as we have.
