Sociedad Fans Are Koo-Koo For “Loco”

It has been a while since Real Sociedad fans have been excited over the signing of a player. Sebastián Abreu is looked at as the player that will get the struggling offense to get back on track.

“It is a great challenge to help Real (Sociedad) get back to first division,” Abreu said after he was presented to the public over at Zubieta over in the Basque city of San Sebastián. “Part of it has to do with the fact that Real Sociedad is the eighth biggest club in Spain and it is our obligation to earn promotion before its centennial season.”

Abreu signed a six-month contract with a one-year option in the event that the club earns promotion. He must also obtain his freedom from Argentine side River Plate in order to get that extra year. That seems easier said than done after he walked away from the club prior to stepping on the bus on the way to pre-season training. This move was not very popular at River Plate as they had paid a significant amount of money to bring him back to Argentina after a disastrous experience at Israeli side Beitar Jerusalem.

Sociedad are currently in seventh place with 31 points, but they are just three points away from league leaders Xerez.
