was glad to read this alrit. I was wondering why there was no sign of him until now.

What was the hold up? The usual work permit stuff?

Probably. The guy who does the South America column (Tim Vickery?) wasn't too impressed by him. But who knows, he might do a Voronin and surprise us all.

I did'nt even know we'd signed some kid called Leto!

Mike.

we got him ages and ages ago, loaned him back to his own club Lanus.

The Tim Vickery comment, while not the best, wasn't too damning either. He jsut said that as far as Argentinian wonderkids go, Leto wasn't really one of them, but then he is only 2 million. He's not an all flash player. He was more described as a tall left sided midfield player (not strictly out and out winger) with decent feet and a booming left foot. I watched that extended match highlights (well, 6 minutes) of a game (i think Lanus V Boca) that was doing the rounds a while back and he looked grand, fought back for the ball, made a few bursting runs up the field, a bit raw still though. He had a good cross on him at least. Apparantly he's a good header as well.

<edit> heres that video V Boca anyway http://youtube.com/watch?v=B5HfXULDSD4
he's the tall long haired guy on the left.

Well, let's give the lad a chance first.
