Matias Kranevitter

[sam-caddick]

You've seen alot of him? Or just youtube videos, because everybody can look awesome in a youtube video.

Very true. I saw a couples passes that I've only seen Yaya spot and actually make. I feel like no one else on our team is even capable of making them.

If he is as good as those who watch him say, he seems like a no-brainer in a transfer season where we're selling Yaya. We have a huge financial edge over Atletico and they can't even claim to give him more game time as their midfield is arguably superior to ours (especially without Yaya).

I'm just afraid it'll be another Zuculini, where we are rumoured and people get fucking hyped about a player nobody knows, to realise he's not really anything special.

Reports in Argentina were saying we were going to pull out of the Zuculini deal but because of a promise we went ahead, he was only 1.5m so I guess the club wanted to keep relations high as Racing are a club known to produce top Argentine players.

1.5m was nothing anyway, we have spent more on EDS players so it was always going to be a signing that could either way without us losing much sleep if it went wrong.

He was playing in a very poor performing Racing team and he got hyped up after a decent few months of performance which surprised a few.

Kranevitter on the other hand is different, this lad plays for the giant River Plate and is definitely one of the best DM's in South America and will very likely replace Mascherano eventually for the famous Argetine number 5 shirt and has already helped them win the league, Copa Sudamericana and Recopa and are trying for the Libertadores at the moment.

Kranevitter will probably be a 10-15m signing which is big money in Argentina.

Here is a decent video of him.

Very Matic like in my opinion.

Was thinking the same thing. Good thing about this guy is that he'll be cheap.

Apparently Atletico Madrid had scouts in Argentina last night to watch him.

Nan, it sounds more like a hollandish or Flemish name (Belgium), IMO. You have in german more the "w" rather than the "v" in names. But its more likely due to some slavish influence (east europa) in some names. If it woul be "Kranewitter" I will supousse, thats its mor a german name.

But its only me and my "Sprachgefühl" (= "ear for languages") :-)
