Porto in the midst of some financial troubles and turmoil at the club but still wouldn't have our guys go almost anywhere else tbh.
Don't think they've made a ton of big sales for years now, Diaz the last big one and they kinda got fleeced on that one when you look at it. Once you have success and play in a smaller European league it's a short trip to losing money if you stray from your blueprint or simply don't have good young guys coming through. I think also Benfica/Sporting/Braga have all gotten alot better over the last while and I think Porto probably spent more to try and compete and sold less and now they've violated ffp.
they messed up bringing in those spanish losers instead of the younger south americans that they were bringing in.
As are his chances to get benched when Nacional gets a new coach 6 months from now. It's a risk...but I think it could work out
🚨 Formalmente, #CeltaDeVigo ha hecho saber su interés por James Rodríguez (32) con una carta a #SãoPaulo; confirmado, lo que cuentan en @geglobo 🇨🇴👀 De momento no existe un acuerdo sobre los términos del colombiano, pero el conjunto de Galicia trabaja en eso pic.twitter.com/5q5YPqtrWq— Pipe Sierra (@PSierraR) May 28, 2024
Well, at least it is a place he knows won't have Rafa Benitez as manager anytime soon. (He was recently fired)
any place he can go and be the star and diva he will be happy. This place doesnt work out and he going to have to go to Junior or Nacional
🚨 #Equidad llegó a un acuerdo total con #Monterrey para la transferencia definitiva de Johan Rojas (21). ‘Rayados’ cerró en un día la operación. Confirmado 🇨🇴👀 #AtléticoNacional hizo un intento, pero no fue posible luchar contra la oferta mexicana; tampoco pudieron los árabes pic.twitter.com/dAbNGMWyCE— Pipe Sierra (@PSierraR) May 31, 2024
As Crazy as it sounds Olympiacos could be the best out of those three. Although it would be cool to see him play for fat Ronaldo's team.
I heard that Junior is trying to sign James to a two year deal. But rumors like that have always been blown our way as smoke so take it with a grain of salt as always. If they somehow sign him he would be eligible immediately after the Copa. He would even be allowed to play in the Copa Libertadores for Junior even though he played some minutes for Sao Paulo. Other teams rumored to be interested are the usual suspects (Nacional, Millos, DIM.)
🚨 Élan Ricardo (20): #Equidad y #Watford ya llegaron a un acuerdo, PERO no han cerrado la negociación con el jugador. De concretarse no tiene permiso para jugar en Inglaterra así que sería cedido👀 #DIM sería la prioridad por su buena relación con los británicos (en el pasado… pic.twitter.com/qcs2w3u7pz— Pipe Sierra (@PSierraR) May 31, 2024
Steven Alzate is a free agent. Hope he has a healthy and goes to a team he can start. I liked him tho now we are having a lot of players pop up in the position he plays. Think Rangers and some English, Belgiums teams want him Genk just bought Adrián Palacios defender from Dept Cali
Yup. I think it is going to take a lot for him to get back on the National Team as an option. When a guy like Seba Gomez is getting a look you know he is way off the radar. I even think Atuesta in MLS could get called up again before Alzate does.
think Alzate been injured for a bit. I mean he is older than I thought he was but would prefer he get a look over Uribe. Tho nice to have multiple options in many positions also think he can play RB or LB. As well. I mean hope he recovers his form even if not on the NT radar good to have guys with good reputations opening doors for us in other leagues. I like Atuesta a lot but his Brazil move kind of killed his career hope he also recovers his form. We have good MFs just some had injury issues or really bad career advice. We just need to pray for a LB and Top 9 to emerge. Hope Duran is that #9 but another 2 or 3 of them would be nice too. I dont rate Cordoba, Borre or Borja very highly. Hope Cassiera goes to another league and is given a shot. I want to go back to Teo, Falcao, Jackson, Bacca being our options. Who was 5th not sure but sure he was better than what our current options are. think we have 2-3 solid options in every spot other than CF and LB. Who we have serviceable players but really need someone better to hopefully challenge for the WC. As for Copa America Chile won 2x with 3 good players and 5'8 CBs. We really dont have an excuse to not go there to win.
