What at first were polls by the Athletic Madrid for the youth Thorn finally they were transformed into the departure of the central defender to the team led by Diego Simeonewhere other Argentines await him: Rodrigo Delaware Pablo, Angel Belt and Nahuel mill.

The Student Release (LP)

The official communiqué of the set of The Silver was published through his account Twitter which they emphatically titled, “Outburst and ingratitude” and read as follows:

“Rapture and ingratitude

The youthful Gerónimo Spina leaves the club uprooted, carried away, but above all things, with a manifest ingratitude to everything provided by the Institution throughout its formation, and that’s what hurts the most. Greed, the short-term outlook, the easy and petty business, were stronger than the possibility of growing up in a place that contained and trained him throughout his youth stage. Advised by his environment and representation, but superior by his own will, the youth made the decision to go hidden and without permission through the back door of the Club Estudiantes de La Plata. Club Atlético de Madrid is snatching without any permission, a youth formed from a very young age in our Institution, thus taking advantage of the lack of legal protection that frames the issue, a situation well known by the youth Spina, his entourage and representation, as well as by the aforementioned, Club Atlético de Madrid. The uncertain and unscrupulous promises of those who represent youth is a constant threat that training clubs will suffer. The Spina case is NOT the exception. students of La Plata gives itself completely in the formation of its juveniles, not only from the sports but also from the human, investing in training, food and education. Juniors attend the first free of charge Baccalaureate for soccer players of the country at the Estudiantes de La Plata School. They are trained in both sports and human aspects, within a club that for more than 100 years has stood out in the comprehensive training of its athletes. Today we are faced with a case that leaves us perplexed and does nothing more than show our ingratitude for the comprehensive training provided. The greedy opportunism to leave without any permission from the place that formed it, and taking advantage of the legal vacuum, does not reflect the values ​​at all proclaimed by the Club Estudiantes de La Plata. There are plenty of good examples of those players who dignify the history of our club. The sense of belonging is the trademark that distinguishes us. Countless footballers trained at the institution, many who have triumphed in the world’s main leagues, do nothing more than be available to the club for whatever is needed, and that is ultimately what embraces us and makes us reconfirm the path we have chosen. over the years. The repudiation of the decision made by the youthful Gerónimo Spina, his representation and environment, as well as the actions of Club Atlético de Madrid it is absolute. We trust our trainers and our athletes, understanding that what happened with the youthful Spina is nothing more than a bad example and the exception to the extensive and rich history of the Club Estudiantes de La Plata”.
