@owlstalk Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Manuel Hidalgo Argentinian Winger/Midfielder Here's how the signing was announced... Sheffield Wednesday have signed Argentine winger Manuel Hidalgo from Italian side Triestina for an undisclosed fee. The 20-year-old arrives at Hillsborough on a permanent basis following a successful trial period. Hidalgo served his football apprenticeship with Portuguese giants Benfica, where he stayed for two years from the age of 16. He moved across Europe to Italy in 2017 and will now continue his journey in S6. Essentially a right winger, Hidalgo can also play behind the forward line through the middle. He told swfc.co.uk: “I have always liked English football, I think it is the best football in the world. “England has the best leagues, the best pitches and players, the best structures, everything. “This is a big step for me but I feel very prepared and very happy to be here. “I like to dribble with the ball and play freely the Argentinian way. “I know I need to take some steps towards the first team. I played for the first team in Italy and I know it’s not the same here. “I want to play first for the Under-23s but my main goal is to play for the first team.” Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping he can go on to be a superstar. So long as we don't just train him into being an English type player and training the uniqueness out of him Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bladeshater Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Watched him a couple of times my opinion he's a fair way off first team football but let's see how he develops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torryowl Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Saw him against leeds and he's certainly got some skills and was also quite feisty for a little lad ......seemed to me to fit into the bracket of "young and hungry"that a lot seem to crave for ...

steelowl Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Is it possible to sign one player that doesn't get criticised before he plays for the 1st team ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, we have to get them pooing themselves first knock all the confidence out of him. Another two or three threads should it. First one to boo him will be held aloft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
