Tim Vickery is getting a lot of undue stick here, he knows his stuff, but so does our scouting system so I look forward to seeing how Funes Mori does for us.

Get a room will ye....

Hmmm respect the view of a guy who has worked/lived as a sports journalist in south America for 20 years or an internet hero making quotes about films he does not know. The boys from brazil was about Nazi's you are thinking about escape to victory. o dear.

Pretty sure the Nazis mostly fled to Uruguay and Argentina...

Must admit I'm a bit confused by this signing, was expecting someone to come in who could go straight in to the first team if jags or stones wasn't available, big ask for someone coming over from South America with no experience against European opposition I think, can't see him being 3rd choice in front of Browning to begin with.

Will need a work permit as well won't he?!

 

[Monumental]

i think it might be real, purely because his brothers one seems real, and other footballers have @ him etc

If other players have @ him then it's actually likely to be real

He hasn't twitter account, mates. This is the official River Plate's twitter accounts list: http://www.cariverplate.com.ar/plantel-de-primera-49

Ramiro Funes Mori departed at 21.30 on an Iberia flight with his new wife, with whom he married this Thursday morning to sign five-year contract with English club Liverpool, who had to ask special permission the federation to incorporate as the defender does not have an EU passport.

Funes Mori, who will become the most expensive in history to pass an advocate River abroad, traveled though even transfer between the clubs was not signed, and missing details about 20 percent of economic belonging to the family of Rioja.

"I'm happy and sad at the same time, because I find it very hard to leave River. I always said that if I lived a good deal we were going to talk, and it was good not only for me but also for the club. So when I talked to Marcelo Gallardo saw me, he resigned and let me go, "said Funes Mori before boarding Ezeiza airport.

"In River it fulfilled all the dreams you had to meet, but I would have liked to play the Club World Cup, but I feel I left everything for this shirt and that she gave you life," he said.

The twin Roger, 24, will be the medical examination tomorrow to join the squad as soon as possible of English Premier League team, which has 4 points in the table after playing the first two dates of the tournament.

In River they are also expectant of what will happen with another defending champion of the Copa Libertadores, Jonatan Maidana, who has an offer from Atalanta of Italy, although the initial idea is to hold until December to play the World Cup.


indicates that we've got the work permit for him previously as he doesn't have a EU one, so theres that sorted.

Also the president has just basically confirmed it's done and the fee's been agreed / fee for the 20 percent agreed too.

Just needs to do his medical tomorrow, and sign.
