Player Watch Player Watch: Alejo Véliz

[Bluto Blutarsky]

Watching some of his video clips earlier - because I had no idea he existed yesterday - and he looks like he plays the forward position like Richarlison - on the shoulder, always attacking the goal.

 

[Now it's Spursonal]

If that video is accurate it sounds like we might be looking to send him straight out on loan to a European team.

Definitely would make the most sense, but I’m worried because we’ve been dreadful in recent years at finding good successful loans for players.

 

[curlacious]

reminds me a bit of a young Aguero?

Video interview with local journo compares him to Hernan Crespo, and erm, Peter Crouch. A few steps behind Alvarez in his development.

Got to admire Levy's sense of humour tbf.. striker link comes out of nowhere and is seemingly done in hours while a CB remains unsigned.

But absolutely love a signing like this.

 

[Ginola+Tonic]

Just cause he’s Argentine? Seems way more upright and in the mold of a classic 9 than Aguero. Saw someone make a comparison to Cavani which seemed to make sense to me

Cavani!

Great comparison that

ok, i admit have never heard of him before we were linked and saw the usual you tube videos etc. Was just impressed but his clinical finishing and his strength to hold off a player, especially for someone so young.

Love me a club signing

To be honest, we need the club to be making signings like this when they're young, as long as there's vision and a plan for them.

I'm not a fan of club signings when they're expected to go straight into challenging the first team but they should always be buying up young talent when the opportunity presents itself.

As long as there's continuity in style of play and a vision for the future, there's very little to lose.
Paratici seemed to put a lot of plans in place to improve that aspect of the club, which had been ignored for too long.

and a few feet below Crouch i am guessing lol

 

[DiVaio]

Unless he's going straight out on loan or Kane is going this doesn't make a lot of sense. Richy barely got a game as a striker last season and he's a sixty million pound experienced pl player.

We now have a manager who is actually rotating attacking players

Why's Romano talking about this guy like he's a car. Great 03 model, one owner, low mileage. Might make a profit on it down the loan if they can avoid wear and tear.

Do you reckom Romano walked up to him kicked his feet a couple times and said yep seems decent that

 

[Finchyid]

The only thing I know is he comes from the same club Lo Celso came from!
If he’s as good as people say is one for future

 

[Stoof]

BOM-FUCKING-BAZO lads.

 

[king26]

ready to replace kane

 

[McFlash]

BOM-FUCKING-BAZO lads.

If you don't have a stamp for that when this is done, I'm am going to be disappoint.

 

[Now it's Spursonal]

Cavani!

Great comparison that

That and a taller version of Falcao seem to be the best comparisons I’ve seen.

Super tenacious, old school number 9’s with elite heading ability.

Anyone expecting a J. Alvarez or Aguero type player will be very disappointed.

 

[Timberwolf]

Rosario central is a mad name for a football team.

Sounds like a stop you'd see on a train map.

Imagine what the Argentines think of Sheffield Wednesday.

Don't worry, was only teasing with that post.

Absolutely how we should be operating, this, dotting some gems amongst what's coming through the academy and raising the level from below as well as the first 11.

Same city as Poch

Dangerous place mind

 

[Chris Flynn]

I know Frey Bentos is a town in Argentina and if you go on goole street view you can see the old factory where they made the pies. Hope that helps?

Looks like our defence trying to defend last season.

Just a joke before anyone gets pissed off.
