I find it very positive Enners and Walter's performances, sad about Marlon and Narciso, concerned about Colon getting benched, pleased with Arroyos game lately, but to me the best Ecuadorian in Mexico is Joao Rojas right now, hes just been a dam devil in Cruz Azul. Jeff and Fidel are just being consistent. I am worried about Ramirez not even getting called up recently for his team, he was a solid starter before winter break, does anyone know anything? discipline maybe?
doubt it's discipline. He probably just lost his spot on the team. I think he had like a 2 week injury not too long ago and since then he hasn't fully gained his spot back. Might have some tough competition he's dealing with. Let's hope he gets his spot back.
Can't believe what E. Valencia missed today. Certainly the blooper of the week. Marlon De Jesus wouldn't have missed such an easy goal. Lol. He really needs to improve on his finishing. Colon played todaya bit and looked okay. Performed better than in the past but still have a lot to go. W. Ayovi played like always, very consistent. I like.
finally get to see a video of this kid play and a pretty nice goal to another player ive been trying to see for a while is jonathan zuloaga and cevallos in itally if anyone can find some clips of them play that be great
Thanks for posting the video... I will start following Josimar Quintero career. Hopefully he'll play for the Ecuador NT under-17 and not Spain U-17 http://deporvito.com/wonderkid-una-joya-ecuatoriana-en-el-chelsea-ingles/
According to this site: Josimar Quintero says he wants to play for Ecuador . http://www.tribalfootball.com/artic...ide-chelsea-youth-system-3995057#.U1IBGtz8tjE
This is the kid that plays for Velez. He scored his first goal today. Hopefully the kid does well! http://www.futbolecuador.com/stories/publica/44126
Marcos Caicedo hasjust signed with Leon, I guess they must have liked him when he played against them in Libertadores
I think going to Leon is a good move for him. His playing opportunities in Emelec were limited. The talent is there, there's no denying that. Hopefully the kid works hard and reaches his potential. He's gonna have to put more effort towards defending though. Leon is very disciplined team that emphasizes strong defense. In other news, Pedro Quinonez is reportedly heading to the Middle East. Those petro dollars have some powerful methods of persuasion huh?
leon has a lot of forwards so he will have to work hard to get a spot as a winger and quinonez they can take him y que se lleva a saritama tambien hopefully emelec leaves that spot open in mid feild for gaibor to fill maybe even corozo and david noboa can start having more playing time to
Good for Quiñonez, he was always an average center mid in comparison to our other center mids. At least his family will eat well for a while with this move.
It's been a big week with transfer news: 1. Enner Valencia (almost?) official at West Ham 2. Michael Arroyo signs with America 3. Felipe Caicedo back in Spain with Espanyol 4. Joffre Guerron signs with Tigres Hope to see Jefferson Montero back in Europe this time, I heard Swansea were after him.
http://metro.co.uk/2014/07/14/why-enner-valencia-is-a-gamble-worth-taking-for-west-ham-4796861/ This year, Valencia has been on a roll, bagging 18 goals in 23 appearances for Pachuca, but it was most likely his goal in Ecuador’s World Cup warm-up game against England – when, encouragingly for West Ham fans, he beat Manchester United newboy Luke Shaw to a far post header – that really set the radar off.
Seems like Montero is on his way to get his Medical done: http://swansfc.com/blog/2014/07/15/...g-swans-target-montero-have-medical-wednesday
http://www1.skysports.com/transfer/...news-west-ham-sign-enner-valencia-sky-sources enner sold for 25 million dollars... wayy toooo much but it is what it is.
It is a pretty crazy price tag, but of course if you want him so badly then the $$$$ is what talks. Also I heard Enner needs a special work permit in order to play EPL. It's the "20 caps" Rule that the EPL established a while ago (Heard of it a LONG time ago). Enner only has 13 Caps with the NT, but West Ham needs a special permit acknowledging that at 1 point or another Enner will surpass that count (I think so, I mean who else are we gonna call up that is on FIRE!!?) lol
I figured for some of you that don't know this, I made a list of our players abroad. Germany Carlos Gruezo 19 VFB Stuttgart Cristian Ramirez 19 FC Nuremberg (2nd division) Spain Felipe Caicedo 25 Espanyol Gabriel Corozo 19 Granada Kevin Mercado 19 Granada Erik Rodriguez 17 Real Zaragoza (Youth Division) Joel Valencia 19 Atletico Malagueno (3rd division) Netherlands Renato Ibarra 23 Vitesse France Anderson Porozo 21 Lille (recently promoted to the first club) Checz Republic Agusto Batioja 25 FC Vysosina England Anto. Valencia 28 Manchester United Enner Valencia 25 West Ham Jeff Montero 24 Swansea JC Paredez 27 Watford (2nd division) Josi Quintero 16 Chelsea (youth) Portugal Ayrton Preciado 20 Trofense (2nd division) Robinson Guevara 19 Trofense (2nd division) Jonathan Betancourt 18 FC Porto (youth division) Italy Jonathan Zuloaga 18 FC Vado (serie D) Russia Christian Noboa 29 FC Dynamo Moscow Walter Chala 21 FC Nefftehkimik (2nd Division) Australia Edson Montano 23 Newcastle Jets Argentina Jayro Velez 19 Velez Sarsfield Brasil Frikson Erazo 26 Flamengo MLS Oswaldo Minda 30 Chivas USA Joao Plata 22 Real Salt Lake Mexico Joao Rojas 25 Cruz Azul Michael Arroyo 27 America Joffre Guerron 29 Tigres Walter Ayovi 34 Pachuca Marcos Caicedo 22 Leon Fidel Martinez 24 Leones Negros Narciso Mina 30 Atlante (2nd division) Marlon de Jesus 22 Puebla Jaime Ayovi 26 Xolos Jose Ayovi 22 Dorados (2nd division) Darwin Suarez 19 Pachuca(U-20) Alex Colon 27 Mineros (2nd division) Edisson Preciado 28 San Luis (2nd division) Ronny Benitez 21 Delfines (2nd division) Arabia Saudita Segundo Castillo 32 AlHilal Just so we have an idea what we have out there. I must warn you there might be a few youngsters missing, like that Real Madrid C kid Jair Govea and he's like 15 so no need, Corozo and Mercado, I am not sure if they'll remain in the first team, also Yoya might end up without a team. but other than that this is a pretty good list.
I've always wanted to see a list like this. Thanks so much for making it! Mods, can we put this in its own thread and sticky it? Now if only someone had a lot of free time and would be gracious enough to make a weekly list of games we can watch on TV that feature our players.. http://forums.bigsoccer.com/threads/ecuatorianos-en-el-exterior-tv-schedule.1514928/
That's going to be one of the main kids to keep an eye on this season b/c Banfield will be playing in top flight this year.
