I am telling you all now, if we sign this kid, Roy Keane will hide behind his sofa.

He's exactly what we are after, tough tackling, great close ball control and likes to mix it.

God i hope this one comes off.

I too have watched the Youtube clip of this kid (the long one) so I fully concur. In all honesty the clip is 10 minutes + but I watched nearly 8 minutes so I class myself as well qualified to give it a big thumbs up. Fuck it - it's not my money.

He's frightening me already.
Move over a bit Roy
Any sign of recruiting someone
to give Christian and H.Winks a hand
in the passing dept?
We seem obsessed by 'tough guys'

Keane was much more than a DM, he scored goals, did assists, he could do it all.

Victor has been linked with a move to Dortmund, so maybe Wilma is replacing him. I really do hope we get a quality creative midfielder to play alongside him.

Can we get Rose googling him as a presentation video? I’ve got no idea who this lad is either.

Never heard of him, sorry Mr Rose! However, seems to be highly rated at Boca who are a decent side. It's a position where we need more depth. If you look at who can play back 3 (2?) and holding midfielder you've got Sanchez, Toby, Jan, Dier, Dembele, Wanyama, Winks and then it's players I'm not sure about. The likes of Sissoko, Onomah, Carter-Vickers and Foyth. We need if we get injuries or vulture clubs circling Dembele and Toby.

Not sure why or how Wanyama seems to have fallen down the pecking order. I think he's a fantastic and still underrated player.

Maybe the plan is to have Dier in the back three and have Wilma and Wanyama playing in the centre. I don’t like when we play 2 DM's so I hope it is not the case.
