River Plate - Mercado de Pases 2012

Unless we sign one or two more players within the next week (I'd say theres a .5% chance we sign someone) we will need to light candles and pray for Mora every night because I don't know who else is going to score goals

 

Yeah its gotten to the point of worrysome. Also on the topic of Mora, I think someone should get a fund together from the fans to pay him this winter. Id legitimately throw down 100 dollars, if this could be made possible.

 

I agree 100%.But to tell the truth I am not too dissapointed we didnt pay 4 million euro for a 31 year old bostero.Ramon may have sent his list of wishes but Passarella spent far too long on the boludos in Asuncion.I understand we need to sell but travelling around Europe prostituting our players is not the answer.
Just say we dont buy or sell anyone else.Well our squad is going to be stronger with the arrivals of Vangioni,Diaz and Roman.Throw in Maidana being back by March, and hopefully Ramiro and Pezzela by April. The extra experience the young players have I think gives us ground to be hopeful of a really good tournament without ruining the club.

 

you know I was thinking about exactly this today. I think there was a good core of players from last tournament to build around with Ponzio, Mora, Sanchez, Barovero, Bottinelli, Mercado (some have differing opinions, but he is good offensively), plus others who like you said will be coming back in the season. Plus throw in another good volante opposite Sanchez, a defensive upgrade with Roman, plus Diaz who looks to have stepped his game up particularly in the last Libertadores.

well as Im typing this I find Iturbe seems to be signed. Well it certainly wont be horrible, seeing as how he does have some skills. With some more direction from Ramon plus less pressure to step up seeing as how he will be the second best delantero on the team. I think it can only be positive. RIver seems to have a team that should be competitive for a title, and at the very minimum put themselves in a good spot to qualify for the next libertadores.

 

According to ESPN Radio Rivadavia, Ramon has put forward a new name: Pocho Insua.

Another 30 something enganche.

This may be complete humo, but I don't think it matters whether the rumor is true or not. Velez will not sell to a rival.

I think its safe to say we're going to have to get a big tournament out of Diaz and Lanzini

 

It appears if hes sold after the six months we will have to pay nothing.We were going to spend 4 million euro on a bostero centrocampista.Why would we not pay 3,5 million euro for a bostero centrocampista de la seleccion.Fernando Gago (26) is available from Valencia for that money.

 

Apparently Gago is very close to joining Velez, which is going to be hilarious if it happens. Boca tried to get him all summer, and ended up with Ribair, now it appears Gago is available after all and is going to Velez! JAJA

But what I really want to see is Tristelme going to Tigre...

I can't tell you all how much joy it would bring me to see him wearing the Tigre shirt and the tears of the Bosteros when/if it happens

 

I know but it would have been interesting to see.
Maybe DAP should wait until friday and see whats available in Europe

 

Keko al club de La Paternal sin opcion y sin cargo.Desgraciadamente con la llegada de Iturbe eso es logico.

 

Cazares quite possibly also, Santos from what I've seen. Would be a good chance for him to get good time and experience

 

So Diego Turnes was in Madrid today to see the Madrid-Manchester game in the Champions. He was a guest of honor and is going to be meeting with Di Stefano and also giving a speech to students in Madrid.

Apparently, he is going to Malaga to meet with Saviola and Demichelis and try and convince them to return.

Ricard Dasso, the journalist who runs the radio show i was listening to, has a very close relationship with Demichelis and pretty much said he is returning. He is having some family problems with his wife and his father was recently killed in a horrible car accident. Dasso said if River opens the door for him, he will return.

Saviola will be harder, but he is at least finally throwing some hints that he may return.

He's says he'd like to return to play with Aimar.

I know its a long way to go, and we're still playing this current tournament, i think i would break down in tears and cry if Saviola returns

 

"He's says he'd like to return to play with Aimar."
So we'll soon get the chance to watch them play together!

...

In Dubai!

 

hopefully he gets there and can start scoring against Boca in the Libertadores
