[PLY]

What's the score with a work permit , is he half Italian like Paletta?

I'm sure I read he has dual nationality just can't find it anywhere

I read the same. Again, can't remember where. Maybe Reuters.

P.S. There's no DUNK on this site to stir up the bull**** stories so I'm sure we'll be fine.

what's bull**** about "I met a source I cannot name, in a place I cannot name, who told me we are in for a player I cannot name, because if I did it would get my unnamed source into trouble"?

My mate saw this guy on Friday at Anfield.....

The tour guide said he was the new signing.....he's really small.

That's all I know

I wonder when Rafa will give some of the youngsters a real chance.
Ok, there has been occasions when they have been put into the team in the league cup, but still, I feel that in some matches at home it would be nice to give someone like Anderson, Guthrie, Linfield, Antwi, Roque, Peltier a chance. This can also give some first teamers a little breather.

I think it is brilliant that Rafa goes out and scouts the best talent available and gets them in. But it appears like Wenger, and to a lesser extent Fergie, gives youngsters more of a chance than Rafa. I hope that Rafa will play these lads more often, cause otherwise it is no point getting them, and after a while young players will prefer to sign for other clubs.

OMG you're right, another month of speculation and bull**** stories about players being spotted at Speke airport etc... I shudder at the tought!

The Echo said a couple of days ago that he was signing on loan until the end of the season with a view to a permanent move then.

Liverpool have completed the signing of 17-year-old Argentine defender Emiliano Insua from Boca Juniors.

The transfer for the full-back, a member of Argentina Under-20 squad, is subject to international clearance.

At Anfield Insua will link up with Argentine Under-20 teammate like Gabriel Paletta, who joined Liverpool from Banfield in the summer.

Insua's purchase is part of Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez's plan to sign a group of elite youngsters.

welcome lad, all the best.

I take it thats him then.
The lad looks well chuffed to be at Anfield. Just wait until he tastes the atmosphere in the Champions League knockout stages and not Man City at home in a very average game.

That's the thing that worries me about all these South Americans. Yeah sure they'll be up for a big European match, but away to Bolton in the middle of January....

I thought Argentinan conditions were similar to ours.

[alunevans]

Is this lad "one for the future" or is he expected to be knocking on the door this season?

It was quoted somewhere that he was expected to play before the season was out. Don't know who said that so it could just be agent-speak.

I would have though given their location near the equator and skin colour that their weather was warmer.
