I dunno what to think of this guy, the word "traidor" comes to mind. He chose to play for Spain instead of Peru. We all know that it's not all his fault, the Peruvian dirigentes are incompetent and couldn't find this guy in time and bring him to play with Peru. He was also probably pressured by his dumbass dad (who saw $$$) and his club and friends to play for Spain. Even so, in the end he didn't make the effort to play for Peru so screw him, I could care less about him now. It might be a bad thing to say but I'm kind of glad he is playing for some crappy team because he deserves it. P.S Y tiene cara de huevon!!
i believe Uribe even called him for la Sub 20, so its no like he was ignored...the kid made his choice i remember when some peruvian prensa were saying he was being compared to Maradona back when he was in the Barcelona canteras wonder what happened to his younger bro..who was also in the barcelona canteras and then followed him to Mallorca
I believe they do count, unless the rules have changed now but to be honest i dont care much for this guy. he made a choice and why are we even giving him a thread? let the spanish make him one
The Spanish press were the ones making comparisons to Maradona and Sotil because no one in Peru had heard of him. But yeah, fuk him. He sucks anyway, couldn't hack it in Spain or freakin' Switzerland
Honestly, even if Uribe did not select him, or whatever happened he shouldnt have given up playing for la sele, when he chose Spain he became spaniard (i know it was a tempting option) so hes not one of us anymore. If he plays for la sele, he wouldnt know what the shirt represent, or the people, fans, the passion. Plus he plays for the greek team Atromitos, which is the equivalent of the mexican segunda. I agree, fuk him
Wait, this is the guy that chose to play for Spain instead of Peru? What the F.V.CK is he doing here on these boards!?!?!?!?!? Please somebody delete this thread!
for sure i would rather have Sanchez, Viza, Ramirez, Cominges, Garcia, Mariño, Guevara and Salas over him any day
Piero Alva...umm yeah i suppose i would rather have him than Merino i still dont know about him, cant get the image of him being utterly crap for Cristal
De El Comercio "No soy un jugador de video" Está lesionado. Más que eso, preocupado porque los días pasan y todavía no se restablece del esguince. Por eso --y porque el viaje de José del Solar ya tiene fecha--, el peruano Roberto Merino ha elegido la mejor sala de terapia: la casa de sus padres, en Málaga, España. Ayer, el volante zurdo del Atromitos griego le dijo a su círculo más íntimo que el técnico de Perú le ha confirmado su viaje a Grecia (a fines de setiembre) para verlo jugar y él, que no se siente un jugador de video, quiere estar listo. "Quiero jugar por la selección. Nadie es un jugador de polendas por un video", le dijo hace unas semanas al portal de El Comercio (www.elcomercio.com.pe). En Suecia, Andrés Vásquez no fue tomado en cuenta para el choque de hoy entre su equipo, IFK Goteborg, y el Elfsborg. "Yo tengo paciencia. Estoy alternando en mi club --la fecha anterior jugó 45' frente al Brommapojkarna--", le dijo el delantero a Deporte Total.
So in other words, Chemo va a viajar por las puras huevas a Europa porque ni Merino, ni Vasquez ni Chavez estan jugando. Tremendo PLOPSAZO del Chemo.
Pero Zambrano esta actuando en la liga amateur de Alemania (Regional League), en mi opinion esta muy verde todavia para la seleccion. Hay que esperar que pase al primer equipo primero.
Si pues, Guerrero tambien se paseaba en esa misma liga y se acuerdan lo que paso cuando lo llamaron a la sub-20 y sub-23? Ni michi. Tiene que estar en el plantel profesional para ser convocable. Hoy por hoy Villalta, Vilchez y hasta Arakaki estan mejor que el.
he does look like a skillfull fella still the question of why he couldnt get a club in spain has to be asked even a second div one going by those HL he doesnt seem to have any trouble in the greek league
and the greek league is much better than the swedish one, i think that he could be more useful to us than the other "zurdo" andres vasquez
