Didn’t know anything about him till about an hour ago and now I’m desperate to sign him! He looks sensational. One comment I read says he’s another generational talent, can see that. Also read that City are interested.

He’s nailed the modern inverted full back thing already by the looks of it. Really hope we can get him.

Really hope we can get this one done. He's a massive talent and would be competing with Estupinan pretty quickly imo

Are we backfilling the left back slot, knowing that Pervis will be the next mega money transfer?

Probably, and this makes me sad. 😢

I'd say he's odds on to leave next summer. Very few LBs around and he looks like just about the best.
To get two really good seasons out of a player like him would be deemed a success. He certainly won't be cheap.

Strange way of looking at it. We need another left-back to support Pervis, he can't play every game for a full season again. At the end of last season, the poor guy was blowing out of ass. Not to mention what happens if he picks up an injury? Right now we'd be screwed.

We have a little bit of cachet in Argentina for bringing Mac Allister on, and giving him a nice reception on his return from World Cup glory. If we do it again with this lad, I reckon Calleri might finally want to sign for us.

A few bits here about various bids we've made, but how he wants to stay to see if he can win the Copa Libertadores first. If Boca get through the next round (games on 23rd and 30th August) their involvement in the competition would extend beyond our transfer window.

Buy and loan back?

From my understanding of Spanish it seems there is some enthusiasm about us as a destination and talk of what sell on fees they might get :lolol:
Can’t be right. @AdebayoCFC in Lagos told us all that no player with ambition would ever want to sign for us again.

This. We’ve probably got in the region of 50 competitive fixtures this season, so need two players to cover every position. LB is a position where we don’t have a specialist back up right now.

Wouldn't necessarily have to be a loan back. Wasn't there that other lad (that I've already forgotten his name) that we've already got lined up to join in January?
Maybe but that's to do with age. We're not allowed to buy him until he is 18
