Atletico Nacional

Meanwhile two great news: Jorman Campuzano is ours. We bought his rights from Pereira.
Today the club confirmed that Alex Mejia return to Nacional.

 

Well, it seems like it was some kind of not a funny joke of several fans. They supposedly twitted his photo and worte that he returned to Nacional from the official twitter account. Probably photoshop...

 

Several rumours that Henriquez will join Cali. After 7 years I can see why, although he deserves to retire in Nacional. He can also see the ex Nacional beside Camilo Vargas, who failed there...

 

Watched the game. Yes, we had many youth players during the 90 minutes so we could expected the bad form from them. The defense was bad. Too many chances for the Peruvians, Vargas in the second half saved us 2-3 times. Lucumi was very active, very good but it's not surprising. Omar Duarte worries me a bit, he plays without confidence. Either way we must bring another stable '9' and '10' because in my opinion El Indio doesn't have what it takes to be in Nacional, at least now, despite his assist to Lucumi.

 

Still waiting for the TAS to answer regarding the claim we have against us from Cortulua. It seems absurd to me, if we didn't received one peso on Uribe's move, how the hell Cortuluas expect to get 5 million? He has his own rights in his hands, they should talk to him and let us get prepare for the season. With our current squad we can only battle for the domestic playoff, nothing more.

Meanwhile we have some changes, good ones, in the squad. Gustavo Torres and Loaiza went to San Lorenzo (thank you Almiron), Braghieri moved to Xolos and Monetti may leave also. If the current situation will remains, the only good thing we will earn is the opportunity that the youngsters will get this season.

 

Unofficial: Jose Cuadrado will be our next goalkeeper along with Cristian Vargas. Monetti was loaned to San Lorenzo (Official).
Also, there's an agreement, apparently, between Nacional and Boca that Campuzano will join the Argentine club if Nandez or Barrios will leave and his buyout is $4m. I hope it's not too soon for him, I would prefer that he will play another year with us. But nothing will be approved until the TAS decision, same goes for Cuadrado's contract.

 

No we didn't buy him for 5 and yes he left as a free agent. This is why we are waiting for the TAS to decide.

 

We have to bring someone like him and fast. We lost to America 0-1 instead of winning them 1-8. Soooo many clear chances that we've missed. The team played much better comparing to the match vs. Millonarios and some of the youngsters were good. Now when we can buy players again, I hope we'll manage to sign the correct players in the little time remaining.

Meanwhile the club official Jose Cuadrado as our new goalkeeper, very good choice in my opinion, the best we can get from Colombia taking in consider that Fariñez is taken.
