Iam not a fan of Municipal at all, but I do recognize they make good decisions, they dont go for big name players and only use 1 or 2 foreing players at times. This past match against Comunicaciones they played the entire first half with only one foreign player (Leo Diaz) and at the end of the second half they brought in Victor Muller and Ricardo Aparicio and left the other foreign player on the bench. I really dont think the team should keep Carucha Muller, I dont see any use for him other than his experience. He seems to always miss and plata ends up fixing his mistakes.

He does misses a lot at times , but scores when we need it.And Leo Diaz was suppose to go to like umm Spain or Tunisia ???, i guess he didnt go because hes back with us. :D ;)

Victor Muller played in the mexican league before arriving at Municipal, he played for Pumas,Monterrey and Pachuca. Hes played in Copa Libertadores and Sudamericana.Leo Diaz played in Argentina,Uruguay,Colombia and was said to be going to a club in Spain but ended up coming back after asking for more money.
