Fernando Rubén Gago (born April 10, 1986 in Ciudadela, Buenos Aires) is an Argentinian football midfielder, who plays for first division Boca Juniors.

Gago, who came from the youth divisions of the club, made his professional debut with Boca in the 1–0 victory over Quilmes, on December 5, 2004 aged just seventeen. Despite his youth he quickly became an essential part of the Boca Juniors' midfield, and is considered a quality player, often compared with fellow countryman Fernando Redondo. (Wiki)

The TV Show, on MediaSet, ControCampo linked him with us. He's a very talented youngster. A very good midfielder. In 1, 2 years will be without a doubt on the NT.

He's being linked with Barcelona, R.Madrid, etc... last Summer.

Nel mirino del Milan c'è invece il nuovo Pirlo, il regista argentino Gago del Boca Juniors già opzionato dai rossoneri.

I just finished watching the Super Classico ( River vs Boca ).
A good game but here's what I was after:
Fernando Gago !!! He is indeed reminiscent of Redondo, he's got very good technique, good pace and great vision of the field. He took the assist on Boca's goal (Simplicio). I hope Milan really are after him (after all Carlo in the summer said he wanted a CMF) and this linkness materializes into a transfer but I doubt it ... I think he's going Barcelona !!

Simplicio He played very good in the first half but was not as solid in the second. Very good technique and all but did not impress me that much ... (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Higuain !! (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) Man, the kid (18 years old) is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G !! He really is what we need. In the first half he played a more inside-the-box role and he "only" scored a goal but when, in the second half, he was driven outside then his entire game was revealed. He can pass, drible, keep possession, control rhythm and basically everything else there is to do. He is tall and has good technique and his pace reminded me of Ibrahimovic only his game is much more simple and with marrow and he can score on tet-a-tet's !! (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) I really hope we're indeed after him, landing him in January would prove decisive !!


ps. Still, it was just a game ...
ps2. It had been quite a long time since I last watched futbol argentino and I really missed that "Tackle Art" ... it's either the ball by you or the man by you, never both !! (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
