now there's a typo and a half! I guess you figured I meant there arn't too many
Thinking about it we do have another player that might turn out to be similar Ronald Huth, a young centre back from Paraguay (with Italian nationality) who is supposed to be a bit of a beast size wise. Haven't heard much on his footbal yet mind (he only signed in January).
Our brightest yound defender (after Antwi) is a 17 year old Argentian left back called Insua (again a recent signing). This lad has been playing for Argentina U20's for awhile and is said to have a very bright future. In his first game for our reserves against Preston reserves he got hacked from behind but got up without a word. Next tackle with the offender (Neil Mellor) and Mellor needed stitches in his knee 'after a routine challenge'. I guess that lad doesn't need much adjustment to the physical side of our game! I'm not sure he will be out on loan though, there's hopes he may break through in to out 1st team squad next year.
