Welcome to the club Claudio all you need to do now is persuade Messi that were a great club for him and were well on the way.

It's a fabulous world.

His middle name is "Ariel."

The club will hire an English teacher for Yacob but in the meantime we need to hope the Spanish speakers in the squad (Jara, Mulumbu, Tamas, maybe Olsson) can help him. Im not sure how he will cope in the meantime. I think it depends on the person really. Lots of Argentinians have managed in England but some, like Teves, can struggle. We just have to hope Yacob works.

If the Youtube compilations are anything to go by, he's a superb player who can tackle and pass with great skill and vision. If he manages to settle in and turn out performances like those in the video compilations, he'll probably be gone to a bigger club in the January window!

Let's not look ahead too far though though - I'm delighted we've got him and have everything crossed that he has the desire and temperament to adjust to what will be a world apart from what he's used to.

Trust me Worcs..........not when he's just penned a 3 + 1 year deal with the Baggies he wont. That aside I agree he looks to be a high quality player the sort we just would not have attracted a few years ago perhaps Valero excepted. A very exciting signing that we seem to have captured under the radar and on a FREE too!

I hope he struggles like Tevez and Aguero

Really pleased to finally have this wrapped up. A lot of respect is due to all of those at the club involved in making this transfer a reality. I can't have been easy!

I think Mr. Peace may have just sold me a season ticket!

(Or at least fueled a desire to apply for the club's photographer.)

matt_home1 · « **Reply #407 on:** July 24, 2012, 11:19:13 PM »

it was a complicated signing, lets hope the next one will take days not weeks

Kicking Pigeons · « **Reply #408 on:** July 24, 2012, 11:49:48 PM »

Quite a few Argentinians have done well in England - Ardilles, Mascherano, Arca, Tevez, Aguero, Colocini, Crespo, Heinze, Zabaletta, Di Santo, Guiterrez, Maxi Rodríguez and of course the other Argentinian that has played for us - Menseguez, so I don't see where the 'he's Argentinian = might struggle' hypothesis has come from. Sure, there's been the odd flop like Veron, but you could name several countries and be able to list successes and flops in English football from each one.

With all the photos of him training and knocking about with the lads in Malmo, how come none of the posters on here who ALLEGEDLY went to Malmo never posted seeing him. I reckon Devon and his cronies never actually went and just spent the week in the duty free at Stanstead !

Seriously though, how comes none of you posted seeing him over there ??

divinewind · « **Reply #410 on:** July 25, 2012, 12:47:39 AM »

Looking forward to seeing him play for us.

It shows how far we have come as a club when we replace one England keeper with another and sign Argentine internationals.

Pigs in lipstick no more.

Yep, looks like he's hanging around with the Spanish speakers Jara and Tamas.

Looks like he is already bonding with the team! Jara is already on bended knee to the beautiful one

Great signing on a free. Young but with great experience already both for club and country. Cannot wait for the season to start. Another couple of signings and contracts to be sorted and lets get going.

Welcome aboard skinny wench.

Clean slate, lets see what you can do.

In these days of media rumours and agent interference, I think we have to set aside those rumblings and judge the player on his performance for us, I think we are in for a treat, looking forward to seeing him.

TheJacko2000 · « **Reply #417 on:** July 25, 2012, 07:04:16 AM »

I think it would be outrageous behaviour if any fans judged him on media rumours about his attitude to the transfer as opposed to seeing him play for a couple of months.

Jack Russell · « **Reply #418 on:** July 25, 2012, 08:27:51 AM »

Did anyone else hear Tim Vickery on TalkSport last night calling him very ordinary.If you don't know who Tim is he is the South American football correspondant.

Anyway welcome to our club Claudio

Just one bloke's opinion, there's been plenty of glowing reports of him from other people who have watched him in Argentina.

I could be wrong here Greenock but I think he joined up with the squad a couple of days after the Malmo game.

Welcome to the Baggies Claudio

Welcome a board the Baggies Express Claudio.
I was thinking about sending him The Black Country Bugle it could help him when it comes to pulling the birds.

Sessegod · « **Reply #423 on:** July 25, 2012, 09:14:02 AM »

I'm pleased with signing, we must have been tracking him for a while and we finally got out man.

The question is..... WHO'S NEXT?

pete · « **Reply #424 on:** July 25, 2012, 09:23:44 AM »

Welcome, lets hope the lads get you to Broad street and try to help you settle in!
