Looks ok on Football Manager which as we all know is a 100% accurate reflection of a players ability.

Hes not bad on FIFA18 also- fast and strong which is good at least.

It doesn't though because this guy isn't already proven dreadful at every level and he has international caps for a nation that has other professional players than him.

It’s not a great league though is it, and with his age you’d have expected him to be in Europe a lot earlier if he was any good.

He’s been a late bloomer by all accounts.

I have to admit I have no idea how good he is or how good the Argentinian league is mate, just saying it's hardly the same as Martina who we already knew was the worst player at the club before he'd kicked a ball.

He's not cuco martina but it's hardly being ambitious is it

If your spanish is any good at all, it's pretty easy to understand. Obviously, they could be cherry picking plays, but it's a pretty bad indictment of him as a player if you ask me. Don't know enough about him to tell the difference of course.

This Fabra seems to have done a lot

To follow up, there's NO WAY if I'm the board I let any of these clowns sign a single player if they aren't staying past the end of the season. No chance. While it is true we need a LB with any new manager in almost any formation, there's just no way.

Agreed, but we have to sort out the midfield and center of defense as first priority. If we can get someone in that can fill the hole at LB with a little Argentine flair for a bit, I'm down. It does need to be the primary focus after this summer though.

According to sources in Argentina, we've already signed Frank Fabra for the summer.

Boss that Brands is already signing players for us before he's been hired...

Who's dabs do we reckon are all over this one?

I'm glad we're starting to do business this early, although Steve Walsh still isn't gone

If we don't sign a big name, expensive left back then that's a sure fire sign that Baines is seen as our first choice left back for the next few years.

Yeah this is a problem. Idk whether the real culprit was Koeman getting a bit too involved in the transfer business or Walsh's incompetence, but he failed and he needs to be held accountable. TBF to Walsh Tosun and Walcott are looking to be good signings, but a bit too late to save his job for me.
