Which previous signings?

I listed a handful of them about 3/4 pages back.

That's great! I hope you're right. I hope he signs in the summer and bangs in 30 goals next season. In fact I hope River get knocked out the Copa, allowing him to arrive next month, so he can come and win the title with us.

I know fuck all about him so I'm happy to be proved wrong, it's just been incredibly funny to be told by people in this thread (who know just as little, if not less, than I do) that I'm completely wrong and trying to bring the mood down.

I recommended him on here back in early October, first to do so, after having watched his career develop. Said then that he's an unpolished diamond and stand by it.

I'd personally be more surprised if he broke into the team as opposed to making us a tidy profit but it seems it'll be a long while before either of those may potentially be the case

One never knows with football , hopefully he will turn out to be a good signing for the club from the playing aspect.

I'll be optimistic and keep my fingers crossed.

He can finish.
Enough said

Lots of people in this thread fundamentally misunderstanding what I'm actually saying because they've decided that a player they hadn't heard of a week ago is going to replace Sergio for the next decade.

No, you dope. What they’re saying is he’s an exciting signing with potential, who they’ll give a fcukin chance before dissing or dismissing him.

The OS states July 2022.

He will remain with River on loan at least until July 2022.

I love Argies, they mix huge talent with a nasty streak

Alvarez ooooooh
Alvarez ooooooh
He comes from River Plate
Aguero is his mate

Unlike some on here I’m really exited about this one.

Sheikh Mansour flew his plane
Down to Buenos Aires
Bought us back an Argentine

Not bad, but the middle verse is shit it doesn’t even rhyme!

Comparing a current Argentinian international, the country’s top scorer and continent’s player of the year, signed from one of the giant clubs of world football, to previously unknown and unproven CFG signings is quite the hot take.
