Daily Mail has had false alarms before, but finally we're seeing something from the UK confirming this rumor http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...tml?ITO=1490&ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490
So what do you guys think about this? http://www.ecuagol.com/ecuagol/index.php?n=37850 Segundo Castillo headed to Al-Hilal FC of Saudi Arabia. Well he is getting older so its time to make that dough . I really do think this will affect the NT.. and this.. http://www.ecuagol.com/ecuagol/index.php?n=37855 JJ Govea to Morelia. I've watched this kid in his Cuenca days and he's not doing bad in the League so maybe a call-up soon? why not?
Castillo wasn't getting consistent playing time at Puebla so its a good move in terms of keeping fit for the NT. At his age he just needs to get playing time and make money. There's a lot of guys who should be on the radar for these next qualifiers, including Edison Mendez, Yoya, Fidel Martinez and even Felix Borja. I think Borja is a more experienced option than Anangono to join Chucho as a target man up front since Caicedo is out against Colombia.
I'm proud of Govea. The kid is smart! And he's a hard worker. With more resources and more confidence, he can really play some high IQ futbol. As for Castillo, it's good for him to lock up that dough ASAP. He won't be winning any political campaigns or turn into some major empresario like some other retirees in soccer, so his gravy train will end in a few years...lock in that dough and invest wisely!
I agree with all your comments. It's just that Borja does squat for the NT...he's never done anything since scoring that header vs. Brazil in that friendly vs. Brazil in Sweden back in 06 or 07....Yoya will replace Anangono's spot, and Mendez should take over for someone else on the NT. We need his smarts and creativity. With all the talent around on the field, Mendez can really shine as a passer.
Great News fo Govea, I like this kid,I think Mexico will do him good. I also fully support the return of Mendez to the NT, I mean Arango, Pizarro and Forlan all have the same age and those guys are way more important to their teams than what we need Mendez to be for us.
