As in is it still Bruon or is it Bruno? if he joins will he be loaned out to see if he can cope with playing in Europe, will he be in the Argentina team at the world cup? is there any story's about him drinking the night before a game, does he set fireworks off in his bath? anything really.

At the moment since I'm on the fence I would have him work with the first team in the summer to get acclimated with the team/staff then loan him in January if he hasn't broken into the team. If I was to compare with who we have in the team now he's current good form Javi Garcia. Still very earlier in their season but I've watched 3/6 games, he has great vision and has the discipline to stay on defensive duties.

I would like to see what he has to offer if/when given a little freedom as Yaya/Dinho have because he very rarely ventures pass the halfway line. Would also help that he would have a lot better players around him as Racing are bottom of the table. Perfect time to make his exit. Plays against Boca Juniors tonight so the game should be on TV over here, I will try to provide an update.

Re: Bruno Zuculini

Just watched tonight's Racing match visiting Atlético de Rafaela, a mid-table team to Racing's bottom-scraping table position. BZ played the entire match, a 2-2 draw - all goals scored after HT. He played the first 60 mins as an offensively positioned MF'er running box2box up the spine of the field - a totally different role than I saw him play a few games ago when he rarely crossed half line. Occasionally he even found himself bearing the striker's responsibilities both ways, adjusting as team movement dictated. He ran like a dog, always making himself available and showed incredible spacing discipline in the face of pell-mell action all around him. The last 30 mins he dropped back in front of the central defenders though. His last 10 mins rarely getting above a light jog as he was muy muy gassed.

This was a much more encouraging performance than last I watched him. He sacrificed himself so much for the team, staying strong mentally while rarely being rewarded with the ball for all his dogged running and disciplined movement. On the sparse occasions his idiot teammates shared the ball he showed a fine soft touch, quick vision and quality passing weight of all lengths. His dangerous ball up the right channel is what initiated the scoring move that won his lousy effing team the late draw. I sincerely hope for this kid's sake that the rumors are true and he's headed to City, because he deserves soooo much better than the quality of soccer and quality of appreciation he experiences on that crap team and in that crap league. He may not set the world on fire but he has admirable qualities that deserve exploring.

Is he as good as Mascherano ?
