EskWeston 696 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidEU 2,023 Posted January 25, 2008 Author Share Posted January 25, 2008 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.

We Hate Scouse 10,327 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Is it normal that the youth/reserve's train with the first team?? I thought they had seprate training session's if so looks like his in the 1st team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they had seprate training session's if so looks like his in the 1st team. Some reserves do train with the first team regulary, especially when the first team is low on numbers. Although i would imagine that Di Santo is viewed as a full first team member, even if he does play a few reserve games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I'm happy the transfer has finally gone through, I was beginning to get anxious as it didn't look like he'd ever arrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I thought Sahar is supposed to be sent on loan again as soon as the African chaps get back, so I doubt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
