Gago traumatized all of us. We couldn't sign more argentines hehe.
In fact, before the trip to Buenos Aires, it was said that Calafat saw Mastantuono as a new Di María.
The question is what they saw in him to sign him, and not any other Argentine/brazilian talent.
River is a club very close to Madrid. I read today that is “The Second Coming"
As for Redondo, I’ve run out of adjectives.
Di Maria was faster for me and a real classic as they come winger with tons of dribbling (and some modern hustling involved), that could also operate anywhere in the pitch, even as mediapunta.
Franco looks more like a slower mid that starts from the flank nowadays in River, he drops back a lot but I think that is more due to River deficiencies to bring him the ball than him actually liking that.
Still too soon for my taste this transfer, with the only real hope of becoming good if Xabi actually is pulling the strings behind the scene wanting him badly, that I doubt it.
BTW If there is any chance that Nico Paz returns that might help Franco too, yet if Cesc goes to Inter I have the sensation that he'll take Nico there and Inter needs Cesc and Paz like water in the desert
PD: Pintita!, he started like a true gem in Boca, after his first big injury he never got to the same level and became kind of a reckless player.
PD2: With Cambiasso I think Madrid should have done better and be more patient, he was real class, the shadow of Redondo was too big at the time.
