What's new

Aaron Anselmino

I'm looking forward to seeing this guy but I do agree with others in that I'm tempering my enthusiasm until it can be proven he can play at this level.

I don't doubt his potential and he already looks fantastic but the level of defending I have seen in most of the clips are effectively park football standard. Shocking. How will he fare in a league as competitive and physically strong as the PL. History shows that there are a lot of new lessons for these kids to learn. You can have the fastest, most powerful and sleekest Ferrari in the world, it looks no better than any other car, crawling round a clogged up M25 at rush hour. In this league defenders stay with you every step of a 40 yard run, not just the first two yards

Spot on, i'm worried a strong tackle comes in, as he wouldn't expect it, takes him out and scares the poor kid for life...lol

The small skinny kid needs a heads up somehow. What's the saying "a cold/wet winter night at Stoke..."

Ikr...it was late, tired, etc. Took me a fee secs for it to click, had to read it a few times. Made me smile when It clicked though.

Forever shall it be known as "Ballondor the great" ("the white" might sound racist, grey doesn't work, is it actually real gold? Lol)

We're they both only 18 at the time?

I'd honestly be worried they'd get injured with the first strong tackle. The premier league is rougher than all those other leagues. A year in strasbourg or somewhere shouldn't harm them. They get an idea of how the game is played in Europe then come over. Even then maybe 6 months in the championship to get over the shock of it all too. Lol

Key is having the right manager that allows them to express themselves, and not shackle them with tactics. Vini & Rodrygo would never have developed to this stage if Zidane had continued as Madrid’s manager. The club would probably have been more successful, but he is a tactical manager at heart. Under Ancelotti; the focus is more on the system, and he allows his creative players free reign to express themselves.

 
So is he going to be one of the allowed 3 for us to send to Strasbourg?

Him, Santos and...Kellyman perhaps? Maybe Angelo goes for another year to make up for all his injury time.

I think you are only allowed 2 loan deals to the same team. The need to buy a Spanish & a Portuguese club for this to work.

Have you watched Brazilian football, it's absolutely brutal, way more physical than our league.

If Copa America is anything to go by, all of South American football is much more physical. They crunch each other and refs let more go. Paez is standing up to a good kicking from Mexico as I type.

Also, when people talk about the physical side of the Premier League, they are not talking about the tackles, they are talking about it's intensity. South American's love a good tackle where they could potentially get hurt.

 
Chelsea apparently have agreed a £14.2m fee with Boca Juniors for Argentine defender Aaron Anselmino [19] and he has played a total of 10 professional football games.

Yep, and almost always it's the fault of  the players who don't put in the extra effort to get fit and stay fit. 

 
Unfortunately he has more chance of being injured in training at Cobham than while having the sh*t kicked out of him in Brazil

Both Neymar and Vini Jr went straight into Barca/Madrid first team squads. 

First season for both were average, but they played. Second season Neymar was on fire, Vini took a couple of years to hit his stride. 

Loaning out, never going to happen for him, that's who we are comparing him to.

Pretty sure Neymar was like 21 or 22 when Barca signed him

So he was! Completely misremembered that.

Vini and Rodrygo i remember both being about 16 when Madrid signed them for silly money though. Paez and Estevao both seem to have a lot more hype about their potential than either of those did before Madrid signed them too so hopefully we have a bright future ahead of us 

 
Transfer agreed with Boca, loan back for a season. Quite excited for this one, obviously never watched him but all reports I’ve been hearing has been extremely positive

 
Apparently, its happened. Another player to join our farm. Will he or won't he make it here?
