There's a piece in the Times football pullout today about an Argentine midfielder called Sergio Torres who plays for Wycombe. He played for Basingstoke last season after paying his airfare to try and make it as a footballer in this country.
His first port of call was in Sussex. His highlights tape was given to Mark McGhee who gave him a two week trial based on what he saw. After two weeks he decided the guy wasn't Championship standard and didn't off him a contract. The guy ended up at Basingstoke whilst holding down a part-time job.
I don't remember reading anything about this guy but it does seem like we have contacts with Argentina, maybe the same sources who delivered Turienzo to us? A couple of Argentine players have moved to lower league English football this summer. I think Yeovil have two and Torres made his move to Wycombe. Wonder if this sudden Argie interest is somehow linked with this Ardilles cobblers in the Mail? Was he involved in the Turienzo deal?
