So, Palacios turned down a move to the Saudi League(Great to see). But now, Inter will have to pay 10ME for him. It was initially 5. Leipzig are also interested and willing to pay that fee. I don’t know a great deal about the kid but having a big CB can always be a good thing. Granted, we have see the likes of Fazio who fizzled out. Nevertheless. I guess for Inter this is a low risk, high reward deal.

He certainly is receiving a lot of praise and deservingly so. I do wonder if Scaloni will give him a shout. At least, it will keep the Tanos away. Having a big, young strong and talented CB is always a blessing.
You guys think we'll have another crack striker on the level of Tevez or Aguero soon? I know Lautaro and Julian are amazing, but I mean like lethal striking ability. Ironic that I talk about Tevez and Aguero when they were alright for the national team, but they were still crack strikers. Especially when Aguero and Tevez were coming up so much hype.
Honestly I don’t think it matters. Lautaro was very good in the 2021 Copa & then Julian was close enough to lethal in the WC. Lautaro was this summer’s best striker in all tournaments by a very wide margin. I’m honestly most worried about Dybala venturing to the desert with Messi clearly on the verge of becoming a super (understatement) sub, plus needing Barco to step up as a reliable top 2 left back. Otherwise only injuries or an eventual WC winning adversary can prevent Argentina from culminating the greatest run ever in the 26 WC.
Speaking of those two... Tevez was great during 2004-2006 era. Then once Messi started to become regular , Tevez never seems to settle in the team. Its odd , they did assisted each other but too far in between. Tevez did put the best individual performance in Olympics history. Aguero is 3rd all time top scorer for the national team (41 goals + 19 assists), he won WC u20 twice , Olympics & Copa, I'm not sure that can be consider as a failure? . Even in 2018, he came in as a sub against France and scored from Messi assist, also scored in opening game and won penalty which Messi failed to convert. Also that two fouls on him against Brazil in 2019 which wasnt given. However he seems to lack that extra gear whenever things get tough.At some point he seems too comfortable with his life much like Neymar and never really have that extra motivation. I mean just compare how he plays for NT to someone like Messi, Di Maria, Julian, RDP and even Lautaro. You can see the difference.
To be fair, we looked just fine whenever Messi wasnt there. However, Di Maria was able to carry the team when Messi wasnt there and now ADM has retired from NT. I'm curious how we'd fare without both of them. That said, I hope Scaloni will not be waiting too long to introduce more youth players. There's now way we should wait for few more years to call up someone like Echeverri .
Tevez and Aguero had a higher bar. They never reached. They were ok, but with their promise ok wasn't good enough. They seem to score perfectly fine for their clubs with lethal devastation, but only showed up with Argentina in passing. They also let messi down on numerous occasions.
I think both Lautaro and Julian have panned out quite well. Lautaro has helped us in the qualifiers and Copa Americas whereas Julian triumphed for us at the Mundial. Now are we talking about a stalky Diego type forward? I am not so sure. But do we really want a Tevez type? He had two tournaments where he stood out and both were in 04. Well, Tevez was also decent in 06. But other than that? Tevez will be an afterthought for the seleccion. The Bostero historians will love him but for the national team, we won’t remember him and if we do, it won’t be fondly. But who really knows who will pop up in the next couple of years. Maybe there is another 10-11 year old that is somewhere back home ready to take the world by storm in the next decade.
True about failing to reach their full potential in NT but my point is, Aguero is still 3rd all time top scorer . Tevez on other hand, has goal ratio of a fullback in NT. Saviola is another promosing youth player back in early 2000s but he has an odd club career where the never seems to be appreciated and eventually affected his national team fortune. I remember he's making fool of R.Carlos in 2006 qualifier , even assisted Crespo's second goal against Brazil. I think his last game was against France in 2007 which he scored the winner, and then Diego started the failed three amigos circus. Tevez can have worst game of his life but Diego would still consider it 10/10 performance.
Yeah ultimately it matters what they do for the NT as great as club numbers can be. Julian is still a bit young maybe there's another gear he can hit as he plays more for Atleti. Lautaro is what he is I think but he's been good enough at Copa at least. I do think we need another crack striker coming up behind Julian as Lautaro has kind of hit his peak already and might start coming down.

I bet he was scouting our U20s. But nevertheless, this will be a good move for the youngster. I guess I will be watching some Como matches.
It really does feel Argentina talent takes longer to develope (but they have a lasting value to their stock). All the best go early to clubs, find out they're too small or still too fresh,and get loaned out. Then come back more mature and out of nowhere start tearing up leagues by 22,23. Very few argentines start dominating super early, even if they are elite talent. In contrast European born talent starts off at the ground with high evaluations and full team support. Brazilians are based on biased merit, because they're 'brazilian" so they splurge a lot of money for a 16 year old only to find out they're not ready either. Transfer market and longevity is wierd.
Franco Carboni’s loan with River is terminated a month after his arrival, leaving without playing a single minute or even making the bench/gameday squad. He is set to return to Inter before going on loan again. Apparently Venezia appears to be his destination

Great goal from Castro Maybe too soon for the WC26 as we have sufficient cover in that area, but one to look at for the future 1837864571110920586 is not a valid tweet id
