Really thought there would be more competition for the lad and City or Chelsea would go for him. All the hallmarks of a future gem being snapped up of what, £8m…

Thought all these ginger haired Argies were a result of the Scotch doing some damage during the Falklands war, but then realised they can’t be because they’re pretty decent at football.

Those Twitter comments are interesting, from all those enraged Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs, Liverpool fans complimenting Brighton and asking why the hell their clubs couldn't buy him. It's a good question but I think two parts of the answer are that young players really want to play under RDZ because of what they'll learn; and that young South American stars now see Brighton as the perfect club to progress to, and eventually from. Less pressure from hordes of howling fans, a supportive structure, a modern, innovative playing style, and a much greater chance of getting game time more quickly. Those other big clubs simply can't offer these things.

So when will he be released from the Argentina U23s?

Have the Club shipped him out a shirt for the photo op, or will they just do a Romano photoshop special?

Can't argue with that.

But all the journos (once it was clear he was coming) said a 5 or 6 year deal and that he was coming to Brighton imminently. Even the IN THE KNOW Brighton Lion kid on Twitter said he was flying over. So the Athletic man must have this all wrong 😀
