DaAfgunBoi Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 My first proper thread on the Good Player & Team Guide forum and I found this little gem for my Arsenal team. And he's already got 18 youth caps for Uruguay and another incentive especially for me is that he has the same birthday as me. My scout said he had the potential to be better than Robin Van Persie! But he might cost you around £5 million pounds but definetely one to look out for the future. Club Danubio Barreto began his career with Danubio F.C., in Montevideo. He started with the youth team and in 2009, at the age of 17 made his debut with the first team. His debut came in an away match against Tacuarembó, in which he came off the bench and won a decisive penalty as Danubio claimed a 2-1 victory. Lazio Barreto's talent attracted interest from big clubs and he quickly made the move to Europe. On 2 September 2009, Barreto went to Rome to sign a five-year deal with Lazio, who bought him for about €3 million. However, Barreto was not be able to play for Lazio until he turned 18 in 2010, due to FIFA's restrictions regarding the transfers of minors across different continents. National team Barreto established himself as a star of Uruguay's youth teams. He appeared for their under-15 side in 2007 In 2009, Barreto established himself as a key player for the under-17 national team. He competed with the side in the 2009 South American Under-17 Football Championship, held in Chile, scoring twice in their opening match win over hosts Chile. Uruguay progressed to the final group stage where Barreto scored twice more, against Bolivia and Ecuador. With four goals, he finished as the second highest goalscorer in the competition. Uruguay's good finish meant that they qualified for the 2009 FIFA U-17 World Cup, held in Nigeria. Uruguay were eliminated in the quarter-finals by Spain on penalties. Barreto successfully converted his spot-kick in the shootout. Injuries restricted him to just two appearances at the tournament. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommo12345 Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 he looks ok i wouldnt say that he could get anywhere near van persie i think he needs a lot of physical training as they look quite weak and i dont think he can cut it as a striker maybe amr or left with cut inside Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleBFC Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 He is a decent prospect, but you would need to get his determination up to 20 to get him to anywhere near his potential, and also you must have got lucky with his PA on that game then, i'd say he would be worth the 5 mil of you got him and stuck with him, developing him for 3-4 seasons and he could be great.

ArsenalFan7 Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Developing well for Lazio and according to my scout he can become a leading first division striker, i'll let him rock it out at Lazio for 2 or 3 more years before I steal him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
