deanoakaram4life Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 The type of signing that would excite the fans. January is usually a bore fest with the likes of Cameron Jerome coming in. If there is a way of Acosta coming please do it Derby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only for non-EU citizens. He might actually be eligible for EU citizenship. It's not that unlikely that he would be able to qualify specifically for Italian citizenship. A lot of Argentinians have Italian ancestry and Italy has fairly lax laws on citizenship by descent, so there's a chance he might qualify for it himself, or could qualify for it if an ancestor does. A lot of footballers from South America take this path to make it easier to work in Europe. Jorginho at Chelsea is a good example of this, as he is an Italian citizen through his great-great-grandfather's Italian citizenship. Jorginho's grandfather gained Italian citizenship through this, and as Jorginho's grandfather was now an Italian citizen, Jorginho therefore also had a right to Italian citizenship. Or failing that we could just get him in touch with Esteban Fuertes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MackworthRamIsGod Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 There is about as much chance of Bob Malcolm signing for Man City in Jan than there is of us signing Luciano Acosta. He would get bums on seats, but I imagine there will be tons of top flight clubs queuing up to sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millenniumram Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Pessimism tells me he’s only done good In the MLS so no real idea what level he’d be at in proper football- could just turn out to be yet another distinctly average number 10, of which we have enough. Realism tells me he’s using us to get a move to Boca forced through Optimism tells me he’s Argentinian and has a cool name so is guaranteed to tear the division apart, and with Rooney calling him up he’s certain to join. Im going with the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambitious Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 We've got just two hopes to get this guy signed up - Bob and No. Rooney is obviously excited about his first coaching job, especially as it's the same club that got Lampard on the ladder, but Acosta is 25. If his agent is worth his salt then he'll tell him to stay clear of the Midlands, unless it's Leicester on the other end of the phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkFruitsRam7 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 I'm a little confused as to why everyone is so hyped about someone who made his name in the MLS? Johnny Russell's goalscoring record in this league is far superior to this guy's. I'm not saying he's worse than Johnny Russell, but the level of excitement for someone we know so little about seems very strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a Russell type on a free wouldn't be the "best free transfer ever in our club's history". If he comes, I'll certainly have an open mind, but the way people are going on you'd have thought that we've been linked with Zlatan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
