Glad he's come good for us. It was a gamble at the price considering, but he's quite obviously a 'big game' player, and having played for River Plate it's really no surprise.

£10 mill these days is nothing, I'm constantly hearing references to players I've never heard of going for £9, 10 mill . Didn't those two Man City defenders cost something like £60 mill a pair, Stones rated at £40 mill etc. I guess the gamble was always how he would adapt to PL football, I think even if he'd have been average we'd have got most of our money back in this crazy TV money transfer market, now he's doubled his worth in a few months.Most of our fans are idiots, though
It was a gamble at the price considering, .
Still, there's much more value abroad.
I'd agree if we had been signing a Prem cb for £9mil that it would be nothing, but we were getting a 24 year old who'd never played in Europe and it wasn't like we had 'tons' of cash (relatively speaking).
But it's more than paid off.
Ramiro Funes Mori
Player Valuation: £1m
Garay hasn't been a LCB since the last World Cup. For instance, in the last Copa America he played a few games as RCB alongside Otamendi/Demichelis. In the final games he was dropped and our CBs were Demichelis-Otamendi. Martino is playing him more oftenly as a starter because of his strong play and specially for being a lefty.
In River he played regularly with Maidana, who isn't exactly Stones. The regular defense in our past years was Mercado-Maidana-Ramiro-Vangioni (LB who will join Milan in June). Ramiro also teamed up with Pezzella (River youngster who is now playing for Betis in Spain) who has a more "Stonesish" type of play and a few times he played LB with Balanta as LCB (another River youngster who plays for Colombia's NT).
Funes Mori has done wonders for the reputation of the Argentine peoples in my eyes.

Mangala and otamendi together were 77 million
Ramiro Funes Dios
Player Valuation: £25k
He's always played with Maidana in River. Basically a strong guy with good timing who would rarely get into attacking possitions. Instead, he would hold his ground at the back, so if Ramiro made a mistake, Maidana was there to save his ass. Great at jumping and heading the ball, much like Ramiro. Mammana, another of our youth players, is different than Maidana in that he's more of a technical player that relies on timing and nothing else to recover the ball.

And they're both absolute dog.

Good to see you mate.

Player Valuation: £20m
That's a part of his game he should never lose. We would do well to remember we're in the entertainment industry and those clearances are comedy gold. He's the Stan Bowles of the back 4.
Vickery was on radio couple of days ago saying a particular South American signing wouldn't be quite at the Funes Mori level. And with such slight of hand are experts made.
