About f**king time too

Will be very interesting to see how he is used this season, and also what he is all about. It may be the case that we don't see him at all this season, but i would think he will get some time.

I'd expect him to get a few reserve games in alongside Ben and Scott, and a few games from the bench especially towards the end of the season.

Apparently he's 6 foot 4 1/2, and has scored 16 goals in 60 games for his old club, and represents Argentina at U20 level.

Apart from that, know nothing about him.

Yup that about sums him up, and the fact he is very highly regarded.

That is why it will be interesting to see how he is used. I would guess it will be a case of seeing how he does in training to see if spells with the reserves are needed. But if he makes the impact in training he will get his chance.
