Player Watch: Juan Foyth

[allpaths]

So he played well then?

Yes. He was a bit too eager to win the ball back at the start commiting some unnecessary fouls, but then calmed down and really showed his class.

Juan Foyth: tremendo partido del pibe del Tottenham, que fue de los mejores. Una seguridad asombrosa para un chico que debutaba con la camiseta de la Albiceleste. Contundente al cruce y sacando la pelota siempre con criterio. Central para muchos años.

Tremendous game from the guy from Tottenham, who was one of the best. An astonishing security for a boy on his debut in the Argentina shirt. Dealing convincingly with crosses and always playing the ball out with purpose. Will be a central figure for many years.

How do you pronounce his name, in my head I’m saying Foith, but not sure if correct?

 

[Cornpattbuck]

Top lad. Well done. Him and Sanchez should become the perfect partnership for years to come. Foyth is starting to look an absolute steal.

As someone once said
''Call me what you like,
but call me''

20 years old - absolutely incredible. All I can say is well done to the club's scouting network/Poch for identifying him and getting him into the club. He looks like he is an absolutely top class player in the making.

 

[Shadydan]

We have an absolute star on our hands.

 

[allatsea]

We have an absolute star on our hands.

I think so. Better footballer than Sanchez but possibly not as physical. Ideal pairing.

 

[Paolo10]

Calm down a bit ffs. He's been compared to Beckenbauer and Ledley King already, have some perspective please.

Calm down a bit ffs. He's been compared to Beckenbauer and Ledley King already, have some perspective please.

At the same age I think the comparisons are completely valid.

I rememeber when the same was said about Tom Huddlestone.

I'm pretty sure Hoddle said the same about Bunjevcevic too.
