Looks quality in that youtube video. Captain of his club since he was 21, and is on a free. Any South American footy watchers with more about this guy?

 

[spartandre217]

who?

The only thing this indicates to me is that we're likely to cash in on Song or Diaby

3 caps for Argentina, too. Looks an interesting player. I definitely think we need more in the way of creativity, though. Song, Coquelin and Frimpong are fine for the DM role.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Oh he is DM. we aleady have 3 DM's song Coq and frimpong. i think we really need a playmaker.

 

[Irish_Owen]

Is this our annual South American prospect, that we're linked with a great deal, but never actually sign, then?

 

[spartandre217]

Then he'll go on to be massively successful in portugal' spain or both by which point we'll be unable to afford him

Who!!??

Cash in on diaby spartandre? we couldn't get bus money for him now he's had 30 injurys in the past 6 years.

 

[spartandre217]

you have a point there.. I'm surprised Diaby can still walk..what with all his injuries and I doubt we'd get much for him regardless but we need less passengers in the team. If our interest in this guy is genuine then Diaby, Song or both are on the outs.


Another win for "moneyball" it would seem

Nah that was Thomas Eisfeld mate

 

[Arai]

Not even heard about this guy before....

Hurm..tricky signing, tbh...

 

[dpt49]

Never heard of him
No other top club is interested in him
Never played in the EPL
Never played in Europe
Never played in the CL

Oh wait, he's cheap.

Sounds perfect for us then.

 

[celestis]

Plus he doesn't need a WP apparently . Ah well if AW sees something in him why not , heard Eisfeld showed a bit about him in the reserves .

Ricky Alvarez in disguise

 

[USArsenal]

to be fair AFC - Alvarez has been playing pretty well at Inter in the last couple months after trying to find his feet in Europe.

 

[AFCG7]

Yes i know , i was thinking he'll end up in Italy just like Ricky..maybe even Inter. Alvarez would have been a really good addition to our squad .. pity we didnt get him in the end.

 

[tactica442]

Seems like a suitable midfielder for the team, perhaps to fill Rosicky's position. Good at lobbing the ball off the opponents and can switch to penetrating passes after gain possession. Also some good weighted passes from the Argy in the highlight.

Less exciting then Amaury Bischoff
