Welcome Claudio Echeverri | Will join up with first team squad in January (p 16)

[Tevez City]

He remind me of Carlos Tevez

Can't wait to see him lighting the Etihad

 

[Tevez City]

I've learned not to build my hopes up around any unknown young player we sign. Particularly those who go straight out on loan.

One for the profit machine.

This one is really different than the rest.

 

[Blue Til Death]

I think it's too short

Doesn’t matter, once he gets here, if he shows promise they will extend it, well before his contract gets near expiry …

 

[HaalandEffect]

new Marlos Moreno?

 

[rabby]

Say hello then wave goodbye might be a better thread title.

 

[SSBlue]

Be surprised if he plays for us in the next two years at least! He will go on loan and be sold I'd expect

That's the spirit.

 

[Kirkstall Blue]

Welcome Claudio you’ll fit right in at the Etihad

 

[Corky]

About a year too early to welcome him.

Sergio Aguero shares his Echeverri scouting report as Man City sign £12.5m ace

Claudio Echeverri has signed a four-year deal with Manchester City from River Plate but will spend a year at the Argentinian club on loan

Got the seal of approval from Sergio.

Right-footed Messi.

Yep, if the showreel was representative of his play then he appears to heavily favour his right foot. Seems a decent right foot mind.

 

[Barcon]

Eh up.

 

[mac]

Omar has a wealth of experience with both ourselves and Barca on both commercial and sporting fronts. Expecting him to fail or hoping for it will lead to disappointment.

Nothing in life is guaranteed

 

[KS55]

Nothing in life is guaranteed

Such wisdom.

 

[Fred_Quimby]

Nothing in life is guaranteed

Except death.

 

[Lavinda Past]

This one is really different than the rest.

Let's hope the lad gets the chance to prove it then.

No matter how good they are, I'm convinced that these young lads are only bought in as 'stock' for future profit.

 

[shroom]

fyi, his next match is Jan 30th for Arg u23s, been coming off the bench tho

 

[northendenton]

Except death.

And taxes lol

I very rarely watch TV and there's not one BBC programme i watch, so no way am i contributing to the Jimmy Sadvile paedophile fund, AKA TV licence.

If hes half as successful as Julian has been. He'll be another feather in txiki's cap.

Seems an unusually short contract though, 3.5 years once he arrives here, unlikely to feature in that first 6 months and he's then down to 3 years. I know we tend to reward players with extensions early but even so, for a teenager that's coming in for the potential he brings, it just seems weirdly short.

18 at the beginning of the month so barely a teenager at that.

It’s probably the only players name Ally McCoist will be able to pronounce properly..!
