The path of the righteous man... United eye River Plate's Ezequiel Cirigliano



Young midfielder who has played for Argentina at Under-20 level has also been linked with Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain

Manchester United are chasing River Plate's Argentina Under-20s midfielder Ezequiel Cirigliano.

Cirigliano, 20, was wanted on trial by Manchester City, and Paris Saint-Germain were also keen.

But United are now trying to get a deal done, with Buenos Aires side River wanting £5million-plus for their man.

He looks a bit like Rodwell, anyone seen him play?

Edit* He has a Youtube video.

 
Yes i've seen him play a bit for argentina youth. Definitely a promising player and i was impressed, but the step up from that level is too vast to ever make a cogent prediction. From what i see i liked, nothing more, nothing less.

What type of midfielder is he? and worth the punt at the quoted £5M?

5 million for definite. He's a deep laying midfielder, fairly physical, but reads the game very well. Very useful on the ball as well.

Do you know much about the role of a number 5 in Argentina? Well that's what he appears to be.
 
Looks like a proper centre mid from those clips.. Sign him up.

Sounds like he'd make a good young understudy for Carrick.

Is it the role Batista and Redondo played?

Redondo, for me, is the archetypal Argentine number 5. As i said, i've only watched Cirigliano in a limited number of games, so to say I'm anything of an expert on him is entirely disingenuous, but comparisons to are not without foundation. He has the same skillset.

All i will say is what i seen was promising and he's appeared accomplished at the basics of his game,

Sounds very promising and for the price he's being touted at he seems like he'd be worth a try for us, as we really don't have any cover for Carrick or anyone coming through in his mould.
 
In the video at around 2:36, he's at the touchline and kicks the ball away then falls over. Thing is, he didn't look like a complete twat when he fell over, just kind of stuck his legs in the air for a second and got back up pretty quickly. Not a lot of players can pull that off, on that basis, I say we should go for him.

:lol: Brilliant. Let's sign him because he fell over the right way. I wish you could get you're granda's brother to put in a word for you with Fergie so you could become part of our scouting team.

i haven't seen or said anything about his qualities, but no one can deny he has a cracking name.

I do have a question....wouldn't the 'italian' origin/pronounciation of his last name start with "chi-" ? In argentina, do they change all the 'chi-' to 'si-' like the youtube commentators did for this lad?
 
I really like the sound of this guy. And by the sound I mean literally the sound... "Ezequiel Cirigliano".

In Italy it would start with ch-, yes. In S. American Spanish I assume they convert it to Seerilyano... though Argentine Spanish is a somewhat Italian-influenced so maybe not?
 
He's the United type of signing. So I wont be surprised if the rumors on him are true.
 
Looks to be composed on the ball, and has a good range of passing, especially his 1st time passes stand out to me.

Interesting to see how it turns out.
 
If the price is true and we are really interested , then it could turn out to be a good bit of business , well we did pay 7mil for Bebe not that i'm knocking him.
 
He's a central midfielder, therefore this is a false rumour. No way are we interested.
 
He can pass the ball, he's cheaper than Bebe, and he's a central mid.
On the flip side, he's Argie :nervous:

Edit: Just saw the video, and though it's youtube, the lad does look handy in a tight spot. Of course the challenges in the prem might be a more physical and he can't ride all of them like he does here.

What exactly is a 'United type of signing'?

On the player, sounds interesting and if there's any truth to it, then it shows SAF has indeed been looking for Carrick-cover. Where's marcos when you need him?

Value ? :cool:
 
He is more like mascherano than Veron or Redondo, nice project, maybe he gives away the ball to often, but he´s got quality.
