Sick of waiting, thought he might have been eligible for the Stoke match, not gonna happen now, We seem to drag these deals out forever.
It wouldn't be Sunderland if we made it a high profile signing straightforward. As a side note any one composed a song for the wee man yet? I'm crap at lyrics, but I'm sure someone could put some good lyrics for him to Ricky Martin livin la vida loca
He hasn't signed yet. Not even here for his medical. Supposed to be on route now. He'll be here for the derby.
I don't know many deals that just happen overnight though, especially South American ones where there is often a 3rd party involvement somewhere. He will be here in good time and play a part in our amazing end of season frivolities. If he scores 6 or 7 goals between now and May in the next 17 to 21 games, I'll be quite happy tbh and they may be League cup winning, EPL survival or whatever happens in the FA Cup ones.
Flying in tonight apparently, probably have an announcement tomorrow once he agrees personal terms and the medical hopefully.
Doesnt get more official than this [video=youtube_share;LeuBDerCo9s]http://youtu.be/LeuBDerCo9s[/video]
Looked this player up (as I didn't previously know him to be honest) and in amongst the bunf about previous clubs I couldn't help but think it was a touch harsh that on his debut for Argentina he scored both goals in a 2-1 victory and yet has never been picked again. Not the easiest team to get into though I guess (Messi, Aguero, Tevez, Higuain)
Good buy. Obviously would only be a squad player for NUFC (decent backup, nothing special, blah blah), but could be a cracker for us.
Maradona had a little spell of handing out caps for fun. Wouldn't coincide with when he was coaching did it?
Could try this one [video=youtube;AC-Dqois6RU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AC-Dqois6RU[/video] but I doubt that it will catch on at the SoL
