itchen_dan Posted 13 June, 2013 Share Posted 13 June, 2013 His agent, Pablo Bentancur (same as Gaston's) has travelled to Europe to meet with four clubs, Saints being one of them. Seems we have the upper hand and made the best offer so far, we also have Gaston as a friend who will help him settle and a manager that can speak Spanish and help the young lad along. Seems his family are keen for him to join. http://www.ovaciondigital.com.uy/futbol/nacional-cortes-mexico-futbol.html "Zorro" In another order, the businessman Pablo Bentancur traveled to Europe and one of its purposes was to begin to define the future of good Gonzalo. In addition to the interest of the Southampton of England, the stronger to take the "Zorro", there are three Italian teams who also have young striker tricolor folder. Bentancur was scheduled to meet with the four European institutions so that time, well can decide where you want to migrate. Today, the Southampton has advantage and not only by the excellent economic offer, which according to sources tricolor would be a business record. For good would be great to have another Uruguayan as Companion: Gastón Ramírez. In addition, coach of the English team is the Argentine Mauricio Pochettino and work with a coach who speaks Spanish much facilitate the adaptation of the juvenile to English football. All these aspects are taken into account by good and his family when making a decision. Anyway, and despite meetings that will keep Bentancur on the old continent, there is no trouble of the entrepreneur or national to realize the pass since the "Zorro" integrates campus of the under-20 that will debut in the World Championship category next Sunday in Turkey and have a good performance in this competition would rise even more your quote. What is clear is that after the World Cup, the "Zorro" will not national. Moreover, unlike what happened in the previous period passes, when Bueno said that not to the possibility of going to Russian football, is now convinced that is time to leave.

sydneysaint17 Posted 13 June, 2013 Share Posted 13 June, 2013 Seems odd that we'd break our transfer record for a player with so few appearances and frankly, experience. http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/gonzalo-bueno/profil/spieler_188733.html is clearly not completely reliable, but just looking at his current history, their valuation of him seems, to an outsider, far more appropriate. I'm not writing him off and I'm sure Saints have scouted him heavily, but its surely a massive risk to put such a large chunk of our transfer budget into a relatively unknown player!

Good on either foot Bueno has scored just under a goal every 3 appearances, or 0.41 per 90 mins, since breaking into first team at Nacional in 2011 He shows promise, but the quality of his end product is still very variable and he has a tendency to go missing at times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skintsaint Posted 13 June, 2013 Share Posted 13 June, 2013 He shows promise, but the quality of his end product is still very variable and he has a tendency to go missing at times Can draw comparisons to CR7 to when he first came to England in his first season. 2nd season he found this and look where he is now. Basically I'm not saying he will be as good (well we can dream), but the fact that young players can only get this from experience.
