City in agreement to sign Argentinian in June.

[Ted Hughes]

The deal was supposed to have been done in the summer & we have talked about it on here, but I don't think City weren't mentioned by name at the time by his club.

Classic Marwood....he's very good isn't he ;-)

Leatherface has worked wonders procuring young boys.

What I meant is, that I think we have actually got him, but the deal is that he does this season in Argentina. That was what the journos in Argy said at the time, but the official word was 'unnamed' English club, which everyone reconed was us.

You guys should really get on twitter this guy has been mentioned on there for months now.But hey no it's only a tweet.

Which is what the twitter cage was for. You're our filter Gillie.

The youtube vidoes do nothing to tell us anything about this guy. Lots of close range tap ins and little else.

You'd think a defensive midfielder would have a vid of him at least throwing in one tackle here or there.

if you've got 11minutes this shows him putting the foot in a few times. And scoring.
It also features Micky Rourke playing Harry Redknapp and Carl's love child. That in itself makes it worth watching

People ont net are insisting he's a def mid, & no doubt his starting position in some games is the deep '1' in a 4-1-4-1, (as it's shown on the screen) but he seems to me to be more of a Fernandinho type allrounder, or what Milner would have been if he'd been born in Argentina.

In one game with 10 men, he ends up playing fullback.

Seems to have a rare ability to make late, gut busting, runs forward into goalscoring positions from centre midfield though, like a certain bloke recently compared to Yaya Toure used to do.

Seems to have a bit of personality about him too.

Defensive mid who scores goals; which suggests he's got a fair old engine on him. A lot of his Youtube stuff shows him scoring goals in the 6 yard box etc, but he is apparently a genuine def mid.

I think we will see a much more energetic midfield next season. I recon that's the plan.

Centre mid is the key to Pellegrini's system - it's not a coincidence that we struggle when Fernandinho is injured. Clone him with both fully fit and we are laughing (or find a second version of him, which this might be - although I know nothing about him personally)

wonder will this end our interest in the lad from porto fernando

apparently we just signed a great Dutch midfield kid as well.
