Argentina; The Apertura

Anybody inform me of the major changes over the summer, transfers and whatnot?

I've just discovered online that Diaz has left for Getafe, which is a great signing for the Spanish side, he's a beast at the back.

Who have Boca purchased? Is Roman staying?

Ustari has also joined Getafe.

Maxi Moralez joined FC Moskova, which is a bad move IMO. Would have been great in Portugal or Spain.

Another one!

Barrientos was the most impressive midfielder couple of years back, I though he was destined for major Spanish side, but he ended up in Russia.

Boca's on-loan left-back went to Espanyol. His name just escapes me at the moment.

Traditionally Portugal buy brazilians and Spain Argentinians but this year our big clubs are going much more for the argentinan signings (mostly after the Porto's success with Lucho and Lisandro).
The brazilian are still the big slice of foreign but the argentinian are growing in numbers in our league. They are about 15/18 i think.

Porto have Lucho Gonzalez, Mario Bolatti, Mariano Gonazález, Lizandro Lopez and Ernesto Farías. We never had so many argentinan in our squad.

The problem with them is that they are usually more expensive than brazilian and the spanish clubs usually go for the best ones and raise their price.

Still there are tons of good players in South America and it is a matter of probing the market well rather than go for the media hype of some overevalue players.

Do we have many Argentinan in the board? It would be nice to listen news from the Argentinan league from the ones who know best.

Barrilete is from Buenos Aires I think.
