Looking forward to his development, I think we will see him in the 1st team this season now and then.

I think he has the skillset to play DCM.

"He has good legs"

Story goes, Bielsa heard a rumor about a young defender from a small town 2.5 hours outside Rosario. He didn't get a chance to catch the young player in action, by the time he got to the house the boy of 14 had already fallen asleep. Still, Bielsa persisted. "Just show me his legs."

So, they went upstairs, Bielsa inspected the legs, and signed him on the spot. "He's got good legs."

That boy went on to sign for Newell's Old Boys, and eventually have a 17 year career playing major roles for both club and country - major clubs across Europe.That boy was Mauricio Pochettino.

Good legs. The next generation.

Do you think Poch checked to see if he has two good legs or three?
