Just one question how do theses kids who are not full internationals and not in EEC get permission to play here?

Most Argentinians have Italian and/or Spanish ancestry. They might be able to apply for an EU Passport if they prove their ancestry.

Some quotes from Foyth from a radio interview that's just taken place. Seems to say that he found out about our interest on social media. I don't know if he's saying that as a joke, as in he hadn't heard anything about our interest so he doesn't know why there's these rumours, or if he genuinely found out we were interested on social media. However (although the translation is crap), he then seems to admit that he knows Veron is meeting us, which would mean that there is definitely something in it? :

More accurate translation:
http://www.sportingnews.com/soccer/...0mgluae?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

"I found out about Tottenham's interest through social networks. I would like to play in Europe, if something comes up that convinces me and the club I will go," he told Radio Continental.

Pincha president Juan Sebastian Veron, no stranger to the Premier League himself, is expected to fly to London this weekend to hold talks with Spurs, a fact confirmed by Foyth.

"I know that my agent and Veron are able to travel over the Tottenham issue. I am feeling relaxed, on the outside of things," he said, while adding that he would not be joining compatriots Leandro Paredes and Sebastian Driussi in moving to Zenit.

Again, confusing messages.

"I am going to Tottenham? I saw it on social, I read that my agent and Veron would be traveling, or anything like that. But they did not ask me anything, I always speak with my representative if there is something concrete. I've never spoken to or Pochettino Tottenham in general."

https://www.clarin.com/deportes/fut...ttino-viene-joya-estudiantes_0_Hk56acpVW.html

The Tottenham from Pochettino comes with everything for the jewel of Students

The English club would have made a millionaire offer by John Foyth.

The Tottenham lead by Argentine coach Mauricio Pochettino wants Juan Marcos Foyth, the last jewel of Estudiantes de La Plata. The English club would have made a millionaire offer to stay with the 20-year-old center and next week the president of the Platense club, Juan Sebastián Verón, would travel to London to continue the negotiation.

Students had held firm to the offer that had arrived a few days ago from a Russian club - did not transcend the name - by Foyth of 11 million euros. But he was willing to talk to the English, so it turns out that the offer coming from the last runner-up of the Premier League would be overcoming (would be 10 million euros clean for the Pincha).

Foyth claimed in the First of Students during the season that just finished and disputed the World Under 20 that developed in South Korea with the Selection that led Claudio Úbeda and was eliminated in the first round.

However, not everything will be so easy for Tottenham as in the first instance Students would demand to stay with the player on loan until the end of the year. In case the transfer is made, it would be the largest amount in the history of Students.

Unfortunately, my statement was less "informative/know-it-all-y" but rather more sinister.

I assumed you were teasingly suggesting the ratlines...

Foyth looks talented in the clips so let's hope his Italian (or other) passport is better than Rodrigo Defendi's...

Indeed, that is what I was suggesting. Interestingly I saw a documentary about a massive wave of 'good Germans' in like the 1880's to Argentina. I'm sure they must be really cheesed-off to be associated with the other lot that arrived later, under more dubious circumstances.

And were Foyth to come let's just hope he is better than Defendi. Looks quite composed on the ball. Wierd that we were linked with Mammana last year who had significantly more experience. He went to Lyon on the cheap and now is being suggested for big money moves. Similarly skilled players but Mammana seemed to have a bit more grit. Then again all Argentine players seem to have that grit.

I really like the look of this kid. Very clean and accurate passer of the ball and looks like he is mentally quick and anticipates well. Hope we sign him.

I filmed in Bolivia once with a Californian Professor of Archaeology & Anthropolgoy and mentioned the ratlines and Barbie's Nazi coup whilst we were lunching in La Paz's Grand Hotel restaurant. He immediately insisted we leave... :)

I'm pleased that Poch seems to be using his personal relationship with Veron to seal the deal.

The last Argentine CB he wanted was the highly talented Musacchio and of course we ended up with the solid but slow as a carthorse Fazio.

What impressed me was his ability to step out of defence with the balk. Out style of play calls for the CB's to be comfortable on the ball.

I note that Estudiantes want him to stay on loan with them, presumably until Xmas.

Let's see if Di Marzio is still crap. Posted this a few minutes ago.

Football - Foyth to the Premier: in meeting program with Tottenham

Juan Foyth chose: he wants the Premier League. In fact, during the week, the agent of the player will meet Tottenham and already on this occasion may quit the operation for its transfer to Spurs. If so, it would be beaten off competition from Rome, Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan, which at this time have been following the player.
