Olympics - Argentina v Australia

I saw just about enough yesterday to go out on a limb, something I rarely do with a player I have barely seen 😬

1. Payero was always looking for the ball.
2. He was constantly moving into space when Argentina had possession.
3. He was tracking back and happy to tackle out of possession.
4. His passing was excellent and forward thinking.
5. He is clearly confident on free kicks and set pieces.
6. He will add much needed height.
7. He looked a capable ball carrier.
8. He didn’t dwell on the ball, his awareness of teammates and their runs looked sharp

He gave Argentina a lift I thought. I think he could well be a proper attacking CM, someone who wont shirk his defensive duties either. Yes, we saw mere snippets and it is impossible to be sure how he will be in the Championship against the streetwise characters that ply their trade here. Will he even settle in England? There are personal challenges he will have to overcome, but NW will look after him. IF and it is an IF, Payero performs at the level he did for the 15-20 minutes he was on the pitch yesterday at Boro, our fans will love him.

I would think he is a player that could be destined for the top. He so reminded me of Heine Otto. I appreciate thats a bold call based on a cameo and this post may come back to haunt me, but I think we are signing a real gem. Lets hope so anyway. The caveat is the fans give him time to settle in the area and not expect a Juninho or a Messi, he isn’t that type of player.

I could crush a grape right now.
Sounds very promising (y) Just need to get it over the line now.

I've deliberately not watched one minute of him yet :ROFLMAO:

I can’t see anything going wrong at this stage, I mean it is not like we have had an Argentinian player on his way and lost him at the last minute as he touched down is it. 😉

I suspect all the paperwork is done and dusted and its just subject to the work permit now 🤞
