    The guy who I thought might have made it if he'd gone over younger was Julian Uccello. He had good numbers in the Italian lower leagues but as often is the case they didn't translate when he got tryouts, I guess.

    Lots of angry Newels fans calling him a mercenary and traitor

    A translated tweet from a radio host in Rosario

    There was no contractual agreement on improving, his rep pay clause and gets the ball in his possession. USA and Mexico possible target # URRUTI

    One can only hope the agent is the smartest guy amongst their transfer contingent and realizes that they're just being blinded by ignorance about the league.

    If money is the desire, Mexico is the more likely place I would say.

    Clint Dempsey. Early word from the chaps working the HUF-DUF up at Bletchley is that Spurs are have sold him to a MLS side. Doubt it's us.

    Probably... but maybe not if it's a DP contract, though

    If his agent bought out the contract, NOB doesn't have a say in where he goes anymore.

    I would have to think his value is maximized with a US team....but would be happy to have him and he is only 30...my guess LA

    Over the last 90 mins or so its gone from Urrutis agent activating a release clause in his contract and buying him out to the club denying it. Then it's reported that there is an offer from the States for him.

    Something looks to be perculating down in Rosario, if it involves TFC remains to been seen at this stage.

    He wasn't at/didn't show up to practice today.

    I mis-understood the translation. NOB aren't playing a game in Dubai but there might be an offer for Urruti from the Middle East.

    Im leaving this google translate stuff alone hahahaha

    This guy must be ridiculously good if there have been so many bids and taking this long. Urruti seems to be in very high demand.

    Either that, or he has a very good agent. Or both.

    It could be that the agent is saying "either take the deal we want or we will buy out the contract and make it happen" - pretty sure a transfer would cover any buyout clause plus future value, so could be playing hardball

    Lol seems like a photo with the jersey is key for any official announcement.

    His younger brother Luca is scoring buckets full for the tfc u17 team. And I think he might only by 15 still.

    It's the deal that won't die! haha

    If we pull through on this one I will be impressed. Lot of non-sense and randomness swirling around this one, making it very difficult to close.
