Deportivo discover that new signing slagged club off three years ago, promptly cancel deal

They say that you can never truly delete your digital footprint.

But you can at least delete a Tweet in which you once aggressively derided your new employers. Julio Rey learned that the hard way when a dream move to La Liga fell through all because he acted the eejit in 2012. The 20-year-old was announced as Deportivo la Coruna's new signing over the weekend before the social media team at the club found that he tweeted this out three years ago. That roughly translates as "Fuck Depor, Fuck Riazor (Deportivo's stadium)," and you can't blame the club for being a little perturbed by this as they cancelled the move, releasing this statement on the matter.

“Real Club Deportivo, who announced the signing of Julio Rey in the afternoon after the player signed his contract with the club, have decided to cancel the transfer after analysing an unfortunate comment on the player’s person social media profile several years ago.” “[Deportivo] believes that a player deserves to wear the blue and white shirt if he’s an example of sportsmanship, respectful of their rivals, committed and has positive feelings toward Depor, it’s colours, it’s crest and those values that represent this institution.”
