    translated old Insua interview

    Not being a Spanish speaker, I've tried to make sense of a Babelfish translation of this Argentinian interview with our new kid which was written before he sealed the deal



    They want him to be their fifth Beatle-

    "It is a joy that Liverpool wants me, If it happens, I can assure the future of my family", says the the left-footed 17year old.
    Emiliano Insúa is one of the greatest promises of the national youth team. He is left-footed, plays as a "marking power station" (?) and stands out with his technique and talent. So much so that Liverpool paid attention to him and sent a scout with an official order to sign him as quickly as possible.
    - Emiliano, how did you feel when you found out about Liverpool's interest?- It was surprise at first. Then later satisfaction. I believe that it is very important that a powerful European club pays attention to me.
    - Are You anxious?
    I am calm. The decision does not depend on me. The scout approached my agent, Pedro Vilariño. It told me that they were serious.
    - Where did they see you?
    He said that the Liverpool's people were in Argentina for a month following several players. And they were impressed by me.
    - and if Boca don't sell you?
    I've been here from the age of 9 and I'm very comfortable. But this move can help my family. I hope that the managers make a decision.

    In the 2005 season he was stopped by an injury in the right knee.
    "It was a little while difficult. I always knew that it was an ugly injury, but knew that everything was going to come out well ".

    - What does Boca mean to you?
    It is an important part of my life. I arrived as a boy and I've grown as aplayer and a person. In addition, I am playing in a shirt that many kids my age dreamed of playing in. Also it put in my way to doctor Jorge Batiste, that operated to me and it gave back me to the activity.
    he was born into a rich footballing family.
    He is the 4th of six brothers.
    "Gonzalo (25), Maximiliano (23) and Rodrigo (21) played football in the Pinocho club. Maxi and Rodrigo now are in Platense. I am fourth and my fifth brother Emanuel, has followed me and is a left sided player for the Argentine youth team. The black sheep of the family is Facundo (12). he spends his life studying", he says.

    It goes on a bit more. about playing for Argentina. But reading between the lines basically he's coming for the money!

    Aren't most people though.
    I think it's a foul, and if the ref gives it. He got to give a penalty. I know it's outside the box, but you see them given that close to the area. So if the ref gives it he's got to give the penalty as it so close to the area. But I think it's a penalty. Robbie Savage 8/11/06

    Are you watching Manchester United? Are you watching Chelsea? This is Liverpool F.C taking over the bloody world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Cant really expect a young lad from Argentina to know all about our history in detail, he knows we are a powerfull European side, and his family sounds liek thay need the money. He will soon learn what Liverpool is all about.
      Bill shankly to Tommy Smith after he'd turned up for training with a bandaged knee:
      'Take that poof bandage off, and what do you mean YOUR knee, it's LIVERPOOL'S knee !'

      "Sorry, boss, I should have kept my legs together," said Lawrence. "No, Tommy, your mother should have kept her legs together!," replied Shankly.

      * After Tommy Lawrence had let in a fluke goal between his legs

        I think it's fair enough the money is an attraction, as he's thinking of his family (I wasn't actually meaning to come across that negatively)
        I thought it was good to hear him being described as one of Argentina's most promising players, and impressive to hear that Liverpool's scouts are actively perusing the South American market. Hopefully him and Paletta* can develop into quality players.
        *once people give him a chance again after his couple of nightmares!

          To be fair would you move halfway across the world , away from all your family , with language and weather difficulties and all at 17 for footballing reasons?

          A lot of South American footballers come from poor families and like the boxers from those areas have determination to succeed to provide a better life for their families , to me that is something to be respected not derided

                Absolutely

                If he shows some talent and the right attitude that is all we can expect
