Manuel Lanzini

[Spursh]

Bit dramatic Spursh tbh. I'm sure it's not the end of him and he won't get shot or anything or his career come to a complete standstill. Maybe, just maybe he will do well there also and move onto other things. Then I guess we will know!

It's a tweet from an English journo who regular reports on South American football

I posted this in another thread because someone had mentioned him as a possibility to get the Musacchio deal moving and curiously someone gave it a disagree. Now I really don't care a whit about someone disagreeing, the game is all about opinions, but it always strikes me as curious why people disagree with a bit of information about a done deal.

Is this the young Argentine that's been referenced in a lot of ITK?

Some say that Argentino is Sebastián Driussi (18).

1) Born in Argentina in 1993, Lanzini would go on to represent River Plate’s youth team from 2002 until 2010.

2) He has made 89 senior appearances for River Plate so far, scoring 13 goals and providing 14 assists in that time.

3) Lanzini previously enjoyed a loan spell at Brazilian side Fluminense, where he made 33 appearances, scoring three goals and setting up three more.

4) Predominantly an attacking midfielder, Lanzini can also operate on either flank when required. This flexibility is no doubt one of the reasons he is said to be attracting so many suitors. He also has an impressive disciplinary record, having never been sent off and receiving just nine bookings in 122 appearances.

5) Yet to win a full cap for Argentina, the 21-year-old has however played five times for the country’s under-20 team, during which time he has found the net twice.

How is that spam?

The UAE have been trying to dump cash into their league for a while to grow the game in the region. It's been working well for the international teams in the area so if they've promised him a couple of years getting first team football then onto bigger and brighter for a giant wad of cash, who can blame him?

Yes, but there is a problem with 3rd party owner ship with The Stig.

Yep.
I like the idea of signing a 'masked' player whose identity is completely unknown.
There'd be a certain cachet.
