Name: Jonás Gutiérrez
National team: Argentina (Group B)
Squad number: 17
Club side 09/10: Newcastle United (ENG)
Position: Winger
Age: 26
Caps: 16
Goals: 1
World Cup prospects:
Jonás with his trademark celebra17on.
Likelihood of starting the tournament: At one point Diego Maradona proclaimed that his team was made up of Mascherano, Messi, Jonás and 8 more. But can you really trust anything he says?
Commitment to shirt: Very iffy. Jonás "El Galgo" (the greyhound) Gutiérrez seems to prefer 23, the number he wore at Mallorca - the main picture on his website is him celebrating his only international goal with the aforementioned shirt. He got it as close as he could at Newcastle, plumping for 18 as 17 is occupied by club captain and Messianic 17 Alan Smith.
How to follow him throughout the tournament: He has his own website. The homepage features some Geordies chanting his name. Nice touch.
