Gavilan - Help needed

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Unofficial Newcastle United Football Club BBS : One Thread

I have a friend who works for the local rag and he's covering the Kirin Cup involving Japan Paraguay and somebody else. He is writing a preview on the players and asked me about Gavilan. I obviously no bugger all - can anybody else help?

Where was he last season? Why didn't he feature? How does he do in the reserves. All help will be greatly appreciated.

By the way the Paraguayan coach said that he was the best of the young players and definitely one to watch in the competition.

I've seen him four or five times for the stiffs at KP. He's short and slight - very slight. He plays as a right winger, you know, the outlet ball for the midfielders so he run like the clappers to the by- line and cross for the fellers in the middle. I've seen nothing more than this in his game, furthermore I've never seen him do it well.
IMHO I don't think football is the main reason for his underachievement, he is simply lacking in confidence.
I hope to heaven that he will be a success and I will support him for another season, after all he's what 19, 20? and from the other side of the world. However, I remember the hype when he signed, he was the £2.5mil South American wonder kid.

Don’t believe the hype.

He was out injured for a while at the start of the season. Featured in most of the resorves games. Hasn't done as well as expected. If your mate wants piccies there are a few here as long as I get a credit.
