Yorkie Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Just feels like a weight off the shoulders. I knew it'd be like this - Caçapa, Enrique, even Faye and Beye to some extent, came about just like this. Get in! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PRL Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Very very impressed with the way this has been done, but admit to knowing nothing about the player, pretty exciting stuff... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
clintdempsey Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Well, he was in the starting 11 for Argentina's WCQ away to Brazil 2 weeks ago. Can't be too bad.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gleebals Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Is this not KK style - keep it quite until they are signed? Hope this shuts the doom mongers up for a minute. This one never even made it to the press - good work by the club. No one knew too much about Ginola before he came and look at how he turned out. Good luck to the lad.

KaKa Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Woo Hoo!!!!! What a great feeling! I haven't seen much of him but I do remember quite a few clubs being after this guy in seasons past. He is supposed to be a highly rated player. From what I recall he's pretty sturdy too ... pretty tall and well built. Potential cult hero with that Spiderman celebration. How freakin' awesome would that be. This comfirms that things are going on behind the scenes and no one, absolutely no one is aware of the moves being made, and you know what ... I freakin' love it. Sweet, sweet relief. Suck on that Maethshit! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicky Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 A decent aged, Argentine international winger. And completely out of the blue. Good work by the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest nufc_geordie Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 The way that this transfer has been conducted has been ideal, no rumours, no "we're in pole position" but it is also in a problem position (in the fact we only currently have Milner or Geremi who can play there), it introduces more pace to the team and he is an Aregntine international with at least 5 good years left in him. Keep it up boys! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gleebals Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 The best bit, aside from signing a new player is that Anal fooking Oliver did not even get a look in. Wait for the Exclusive bollocks in the Cron.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest shearer_206 Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Good player tbf, seen him play a lot for Mallorca when they've been on Sky. Tall, strong, skillfull a bit of pace and an eye for goal. What we need really. Loving the fact this came from nowhere and Oliver didn't even get a look in.. haha, brilliant !! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Few thoughts. First thing is first, i think alot of us share the opinion that we know very little about the guy, so lets not judge too early. He signed in time to join up with the lads for pre-season, without missing a session. He's signed for an undisclosed fee, which means we are keeping our cards close to our chest about how much we can spend. On the one hand the age signifies truth in the medium to long term targets but on the other it squashes the "no south americans" rumour. Can we please accept now that just because it doesn't sound like there is alot going on, there is no reason to panic. Good luck to the lad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
clintdempsey Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Replacement for Milner? just what I was thinking. Or maybe Milner's taking 1 step in to CM. Still think he'd make good there, but that's for another thread. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Reminds me of the Hugo Viana & Jose Enrique transfers in the way it's been done, ie. no link whatsoever in the papers, then all of a sudden he's signed. Well done, Keegan, Wise, Ashley, etc. Now let's hope he does well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
