Claudio Echeverri/On Loan at River Plate

[RayCTID]

He won't get anywhere near our first team for a long time.

Superb technically and very exciting but he will get destroyed physically in this league, he needs to mature and that will take some time.

One very much for the future, even more so with the state of our present side, not a place to bring in a young kid.

Give him a season. He is only 19.

We should give him as long as it takes, he is 19, young, skinny and coming to a new country, if he even played one came next year he will have done well.

I wouldn't call him that skinny. He has a similar physique to Alavarez

Nothing like him, Alvarez was a warrior, this kid is not.

He'll be loaned out any way, we buy way too many youngsters just thinking about making a profit.

100% we will, he is one for the long term and he have to work very hard to wear our shirt even then.

I beg to differ. We bought Alaverez as a 22 year old not as a raw 18/19 player.

I beg to differ.

Beg all you want but Pep ain't throwing any raw kid from Argentinian into this team in this state.

Just look at the Pussy lad, way , way off and what went on Tuesday could affect his career.

I'd say Gvardiol will be more affected than Pusey.

I haven't suggested he is going to play any part for this season. The point is give him full season in our set up. His stats at River Plate aren't too bad for 18/19 year old as a pro.
