    I heard Juventus want him in the winter. But Barca bought a option to buy him first. I hope he stays for Boca an other 2 years or something.

    Yeah, the Juve talk has been going on ever since he started playing for Boca, even before he started to be "big." I too hope he stays there for at least 2 more years :) Either way, whoever they sell would have to leave after they play the Libertadores Cup, so after July I believe.

    EDIT: Even though I like Barca, I'd rather see him go to Juve, since it seems like he'll have more play-time over there.

    I prefer PSV above Barca or Juve. He can learn the European culture here, he can play every match and he can play CL. If I were him, I would go to PSV. :D

    PSV has alot of experience with South American players like Romario, Ronaldo, Farfan, Mendez, Alex and Gomes. ;)

    Haha, yeah. That would be nice. If he ever plays there and you start to see the results of him playing there and his "magic," you'll love him as much as I do now that he's in Boca! :p haha :)

    I doubt that would happen though :( Argentine players usually go to Italian or Spanish teams, and they don't do very well anywhere else...although there are exceptions.

    That's true and we had only 2 Argentinian players with PSV. I don't know anymore how the first one was called. He played also for CSKA Moscow. The other is Carrizo and he's playing in PSV2 at the moment.

    Oh yeah, the first one was Ferayrra or something like that.

    haha, that's class! :D freakin' awesome. Never heard of him before though :o

    EDIT: oh! and the other day I learned that Argie is not a nice term to use, since the English came up with it during the Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas) war...Before that I thought it was just a cute word, like Aussie, and I even used it A LOT, but apparently it's not :(
    So I guess I'm *supposed* to say: Bad Leann bad! :p haha :D

    If I remember correctly Hiddink tried to sign him two years back. Anyway we need a good striker in the winter. If it is playing time he want he would be better off joining PSV.

    OPPS!! Ahhhh from the English it's insulting..from a Scot it's a term of endearment heh i edited check out my reason ;)

    Yeh i didn't think you would know him he played for us years ago and you are just a young thing. He was such class tho. Claudio Caniggia wasn't a bad player for us either! Bad Leeann? thats twice i've been called that today ..i kinda like it :D

    Yup that's the one. I have always found that a strange move. Why didn't he get a real chance? The only position he played was left back and that doesn't sem like his position. Oh well he's gone now.

    We had quite a few in Holland, but not as much as Italy and Spain. Too bad we could use some good Argie players.

    I didn't know that. I heard about Gago and Robinho at that moment, but I missed that of Palacio.

    Ferrayra was a good player, I don't know either why he didn't get a real chance.

    Julio Ricardo Cruz was the best Argentinian player that I saw in Holland, are/were there other Argentinian players except of Rosales in Holland????

    Not as good as these two, but Feyenoord had Graff and Sanchez, Bombarda played for Groningen, Willem II and Feyenoord and Ajax had Gabrich and another midfielder.

    Yes, Sanchez was a good one too. And Ajax had another midfielder??? I wonder who that is??? Can't be good :D:D

    I believe the Palacio rumour came after Gago and Tevez. I heard it around the time Hiddink went down to Boca to talk to them about some possible club relationship.

    I remember now. His name was Juan I think. It was in the last few seasons of van Gaal, he didn't play that much. I always liked Bombarda.

    Yep, Juan is the name. Wasn't a great player. Bombarda was more a dutchman, but ok. I liked him too.

    Yes I guess you could see him as some sort of Dutchman. He came to Holland on a different note and ended up playing football, that is a big difference. He was raised in Argie though.

    I'm kidding of course. Someone told me about it the other, so I shared it as trivia, but yeah, I don't take it as an insult coming from anyone, unless it's an English person. Even I use that term, so it's not a big deal :p

    Caniggia was great. Palacio has the Caniggia playing style. And I LIKE IT! :D
