Haven't seen much foreign leagues this season but vietto or dybala? Who has the most potential? And who could impact us now?

Interesting name for an Argentinian of Italian heritage. Very Germanic name.

More importantly, seems he already has a pretty strong value on transfermarkt for a young player playing in South America. What could you tell us about this guy? Is he good in the tackle, and quick in transition (hence great for Poch's system)?

He's like Marco Verrati

I think quite a few Germans emigrated to Argentina at the end of the war....

It would just be Spurs' luck to sign Josef Mengele's grandson.

Yeah I didn't want to point to that specifically as a) I imagine it's touchy to ask another Argentinian that, b) many have moved there since that time so it can't be assumed, and c) I don't think it's fair to any of the ancestors to be associated with that if that's who they are.

He has Polish & Italian ancestors. Random, but just like Fazio. (Italian & Eastern European ancestors).

Not quite the same, as over 60% of Argentinians have Italian heritage to at least some extent, including Fats, our manager, Lamela, the pope, and some little feller at Barcelona they say is pretty good. So that one's pretty common, but Germanic names not quite so much.

Alot of the italian argentina links started with mussolinis boys doing a runner down there too...

We have no chance. Especially if you consider he wants his wages bumped up to 15m euros a year!!! Crazy.

I know - if a club doesn't want a player, it rings alarm bells. They've just made a wedge off cuadrado so can't be skint
