[Albion] Piero Quispe

[Eric the meek]

Van Hecke?

I included him to see if you were all paying attention.

 

[Don Parasol]

I don't think there's any truth in this.

I spoke to my mate who's a Universitario supporter and whilst he's a very talented player he's seen as very small and lightweight even by Peruvian standards. He suffered from malnutrition as a kid and still gets cramps towards the end of matches. 'Not for the premier league' I'm told...

I hope I'm wrong as I'd love to sign a Peruvian - I used to live there - but their football is such a low standard and I'd be surprised if it's a market we're very active in.

Looks like a natural raw talent, bags of potential and good footballing brain- sign him up

Unfortunately the bags are mostly just air

Ah yes. We’ve heard that sort of description before about young South American footballing talents…..

“If a statue was to be erected to the soul of the Argentinian game, El Gráfico’s editor Borocotó wrote in 1928, it would depict “a pibe [urchin] with a dirty face, a mane of hair rebelling against the comb; with intelligent, roving, trickster and persuasive eyes and a sparkling gaze that seem to hint at a picaresque laugh that does not quite manage to form on his mouth, full of small teeth that might be worn down through eating yesterday’s bread.
“His trousers are a few roughly sewn patches; his vest with Argentinian stripes, with a very low neck and with many holes eaten out by the invisible mice of use … His knees covered with the scabs of wounds disinfected by fate; barefoot or with shoes whose holes in the toes suggest they have been made through too much shooting. His stance must be characteristic; it must seem as if he is dribbling with a rag ball.” Guardian.

They said Messi was too small too I think... As I say, I hope I have to eat my words!

That’s up there with the Willie Donachie & Phil Babb partnership at the back.

...not to mention West Brom's Arce and Hole, back in the day.

“It’s good that they made the comment about players who are obviously showing their talent. Especially from Peruvian football players and mainly from leagues like the English one,” said Ferrari.

“If a formal proposal or any communication has arrived? Nothing has arrived.”

Ferrari respondió al supuesto interés del Brighton por Piero Quispe: "Está mostrando su talento"

Jean Ferrari, administrador de Universitario, no dudó en responder luego de que se informara que el Brigthon de la Premier League está interesado en Piero Quispe.

Only on brown bread though.

keep it under your hat

 

[Bozza]

I think the coach is saying he could be sold, with his "none of us is essential" line...

"God will say if it's time for a proposal to arrive and you have to leave before. He is important, but we have to know that none of us is essential,"​

El estratega de Universitario le deseó suerte al volante, pero también fue contundente sobre su salida.

But...but...I was told by some Chelsea fans on Reddit that how we're treating Caicedo will mean young players won't want to come here anymore....could it be that these Chelsea fans were speaking out of their collective crusty arsehole?

Surely Chelsea fans are the most knowledgeable in informed in the universe.
Or maybe just entitled tw*ts. (A not I)
