Jordan Posted 22 January 2019 Share Posted 22 January 2019 (edited) http://ar.marca.com/claro/futbol/boca-junior/2019/01/22/5c465298ca474191748b45a3.html Uruguay international at Boca—it looked like Cagliari had a deal lined up that fell apart two days ago. Apparently, he has a release clause of around €25m, and Cagliari fell short of meeting that valuation. An Argentine radio host is saying we’ve swooped in to try to negotiate, but I cannot say how reliable this guy is. One thing’s for sure: Nandez is on a lot of European clubs’ radars (the Italian passport helps) and someone will probably step up and make a deal before this window closes. He’s another defensive midfielder (although he may be more versatile than the ones we have, even at 23). But I don’t know if this story has legs.

1972 Fox Posted 22 January 2019 Share Posted 22 January 2019 Have always thought we should tap the South American market more. Some great players emerge when they arrive in Portugal, Spain and other European countries. Obviously there is more risk attached in bringing them to the UK due to language and culture differences but some of them turn into superstars. Even if they use us as a stepping stone before moving on to bigger clubs in 2-3 years it can still be very good business. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC Prussian Posted 22 January 2019 Share Posted 22 January 2019 The white Kanté. He's certainly on my wishlist for the club. A central midfielder who can tackle, dribble, pass and shoot. Commands the middle of the park really, really well. Chases after balls like a terrier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baldeagle Posted 22 January 2019 Share Posted 22 January 2019 He’d get red carded in the Prem for half of those tackles seeing as apparently you’re not aloud to touch anyone now let alone tackle . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s playing for Boca, that’s part of the job requirement in Argentina. I’m sure he’ll make an adjustment when he moves to a European league. Love a tough Uruguayan player and he’s pretty highly rated by his peers.
