I’m not ITK or anything, just looking for a reasonable source before we get the hopes up. Actually… I take the back. I thought CalcioMercato was a legit source since Frabrizio writes for them but turns out it’s the Italian version of the Daily Mail. Just ignore me!

Popular Post Wes Posted June 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2021 (edited) I posted about this guy three weeks ago in the Summer Transfer Window thread. On 03/06/2021 at 17:19, Wes said: I expect some people will be watching the Argentina v Chile WC Qualifier tonight (or more likely the highlights tomorrow) to see if Martinez plays and perhaps Buendia too. One name I would also keep an eye on to see if he gets any minutes is Julian Alvarez. 20 year old wide forward/winger for River Plate who has been called up to the full National side for these set of qualifiers. Would be the kind of speculative signing for a talented youngster that I would like us to see us have a go at. His contract is up next year so I can see River cashing in this summer. With Emi and possibly Buendia at the team, we would be a very good environment for a young Argentinian to join in to (although he has already played in Europe - at Real Madrid as a youngster). I got his age wrong when posting that - he's 21. For those asking about Work Permit it wouldn't be an issue with the new points scoring system post-Brexit. It is much easier to buy players from South America now because the Copa Libertadores is considered on the same level as Champions League level now, points-wise. Been busy today but I'll try to write up something later during the England game and I'll post it in here. His agent is speaking to both Ajax and us, so I wouldn't say this is done yet, despite reports on random people's twitter. Here's to hoping though!

Popular Post GarethRDR Posted June 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2021 My only gripe is for the love of Zeus, as we're finally signing up all the South Americans going can we PLEASE sign someone with the surname "Villa"? Would it be that hard?! There's enough of them, for crying out loud. 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
