Reading down that list, we got the one with the best name. Facu and goodnight.

I completely forgot about that. He did indeed say that. It just goes to show that buying South Americans (or young players from anywhere else) can be a real gamble, with so much depending on the lad making the right choices.

That's a fair point. 'Warning against' is probably overstating it, but I was highlighting the difference in his assessment of Caicedo and Enciso, i.e. Caicedo was not much of a gamble, but Enciso was more of a gamble. I agree that Enciso's cameo was very encouraging. And now we have Facu. What a...

You know a lot more about it than I do. A quick google suggests he is indeed Paul Jewell's son: https://the72.co.uk/2015/11/10/swindon-appoint-son-of-former-wigan-boss-as-chief-scout/ I didn't know he was involved in the hiring of Enciso Mac and Caicedo though. It makes sense. You wouldn't...

We seem to have developed a preferred pathway for South American wonderkids into Premier League football. It is the most extraordinary development I can remember as a fan of 60 odd years. We should all be humble, proud and hugely excited that it is our club that is doing this.

Excellent. Now we need a Bolivian, a Chilean, a Brazilian and a Venezuelan and we've got the full set, apart from those small countries north of Brazil. Edit: Yes I know. Peru and Uruguay.

I believe Facundo is known over there as Facu, so it's 'Facu....and good night'.
