2003/08/30 http://www.deportivo-la-coruna.com/ Former Depor goalkeeper Jacques Songo'o (39) is back at the club. Deportivo made the announcement yesterday night through its official webpage - the day before the 'Liga' starts - and it has to be said that the news was completely unexpected. He was playing for French club Metz. As Songo'o himself says: "My signing for Depor is a complete surprise. I never thought of wearing the Depor's strip again." Indeed: "When I finished my contract with Metz I had a number of offers from France, but I came to A Coruna [he owns a house in the city] in order to look for something in Spain, because my family wanted to come back. In doing so, I was contacted by a Depor official two days ago." Songo'o - international with Cameroon - played for Depor from the 96/97 season to 00/01. He won with Depor its first 'Liga' title (2000), the 'SuperCopa' (2000), and he himself was awarded with the Zamora Trophy (best goalkeeper in the 'Liga') in 1997. He is indeed a well-known and reliable keeper, once considered to be amongst the best in the world despite the fact he does not feel too confident when playing outside the small box. Nevertheless, many wonder why Depor signs a 39 year-old player to be the third keeper while young talented local Dani Mallo is to be loaned to Elche. Songo'o admits: "I come to work as I was 20, and I want to show the coach that I'm fit, that he can trust on me, although there are two great keepers before me" In any case, Songo'o is called to be the last Depor signing by now. -- Welcome back!!!
