This 'new Messi' chap...

[Zimmy]

Juan Jose Vea Murguia, he was linked with us in the Mirror a couple of days ago and the story has since been repeated elsewhere. I've had a little look around the the web and I can find no record of this guy existing prior to the link in the Mirror on the 7th of March.

You'd think that a 'new Messi' would cause quit a storm in South America but the kid hasn't even got a Wikipedia page!

Is it possible that the Mirror have been duped and he doesn't exist? Or is he such a rare and rough talent that no-one has heard of him apart from our Harry?

Tim Vickery just on talksport didn't have much to say, just that he'll be playing in the u17's tournament today.

 

[Zimmy]

Ah, so he does exist. I guess the fact that there are no other weblinks concerning him prior to the Mirror story casts considerable doubt on his 'new Messi' credentials though.

 

[maglajz]

he isn't in fm

 

[littlemandefoe]

nothing on youtube either

Who was that European teengager a few season ago that we "signed"? There were reports that we signed him or were linked with him, but it turned out he didn't exist. I think he was Danish or Dutch and was a defender.

He's at QPR. No wait, that's the new Zidane.

I couldnt find him on fm, so he does not exist. I can even find myself on there lol.

It would appear he does not exist.

He must exist if Vickery has said he'll be playing in the under 17's

Bit weird though.

I tried to find him on the football squads website and he wasn't in River Plate's squad listing either!

This story was on a couple of websites on newsnow, maybe it is all a wind-up though...

thought this was gonna be another Taarabt thread.

So he doesn't exist? Was he playing up front for Arsenal against Barca by any chance?

Sounds like Vickery was getting his info from the Mirror, not his proudest moment I'd imagine.
