V. fast for a CB, reads the game well but not tall - i don't know how he would cope in a physical league like ours. A few years ago he was the dogs balls in his age group.

Was watching a compilation of him against Barca. Looks pretty bloody awesome actually

Know nothing about him personally. I just like the fact a CB player thread is visible when I log in. It's so important to sort this imo, more than Schneiderlin, Rodriguez/LW. Before window I wanted to see LB and CB brought in, really hope this comes to fruition as those I know who have seen him say he's class.

Just out of curiosity, what makes you think there's a good chance the link to Musacchio? I think he's perfectly suited to Pochetinno's system personally but it's getting hard to believe any link to Argentinian players now, even if this does make more sense than most of them
He's fast, argentinian, appears to fit our new system, Poch will know him from Spain and he's rated highly enough to have been linked with some of the top four in the Premiership before. He's the right age for Levy and it just makes sense. You can be sure our network of scouts are aware of him. Maybe all specualtion but he looks like someone we could go after, given our needs at the back.

Never heard of this guy. Any idea of cost and would this signing mean no Dier?

Musacchio would be more of an instant contributor. Dier is a purchase for the future. They really don't have any impact on each other's prospective signing.

I don`t know much about Musacchio, other than his buyout clause is reportedly 50m euros. I`ve no i-dier about the other guy. Sorry

I agree with all that. I'd be happy with our CB's as is if they were reliable fitness wise and replace Dawson with Dier but that's wishful thinking really considering Vlad still has back problems, Kaboul is yet to prove himself and Jan seems to be having problems with his ankle (I know all about that :(). So I would be happy if we went all in for this guy 'cause he'd be a great partner for Jan. If we're going to buy an Argentinian that's within our grasp as a club it should be this fella

Surprised with all the problems with Schneiderlin that we're not in for Soriano.

Admittedly don't know anything about this player other than what I have read here/looked up but I am pleased that we are looking at CB's.
