Santos Laguna llegó a un acuerdo con Granada por Diego Buonanotte. Si el club mexicano libera un cupo, el Enano se convertirá en refuerzo.— César Luis Merlo (@CLMerlo) May 29, 2014 Más del tema Buonanotte, para que sea refuerzo de Santos Laguna resta que acuerde su contrato y arregle una deuda con el Granada.— César Luis Merlo (@CLMerlo) May 29, 2014
Very tricky and skilled player who would fit our style perfectly. Man, if one of our strikers can even come close to matching Oribe's production last year, it's going to be buonaotte for the rest of the league (lame pun intended). Edit: So the rumored price is 2 million EU, which is a little less than 3 million USD. We've spent a nice chunk of change this off-season. With Izquierdoz, Aldrete,and possibly Buonanotte, we've already spent the entirety of the Oribe haul. They weren't messing around. I appreciate their aggressiveness and outside-the-box thinking.
So I'm guessing Cejas gets the boot in the draft? Had my hopes on Varela but hopefully Buonanotte fits in well with us, I know he hasn't been the same since his accident though...
Took a short break, but I'm back. Doesn't appear like much activity went down the last week or so as far as our team is concerned. Buonanotte should sign sometime this week, and Mauro Cejas has just become a naturalized Mexican, which opens up another foreigner spot. Coincidentally, Ale Irrarragori announced that the club was going to continue to look for talent outside of the league. It's a good sentiment; especially when you don't receive any enticing offers from the local league, which is why they didn't bring anyone in during the draft. After Diego, we should be going after a striker, but I won't be completely disappointed if it doesn't happen. This offseason has been a success. We've addressed our most glaring needs, while sacrificing in an area of surplus. Granted, Oribe was hugely important to the club, but I see no reason why we can't remain a strong offensive group even without the alpha dog.
We should have a better team this season than last now with our 2 defensive reinforcements and the fact that Ribair, Escoboza, and Salinas should all be at 100%. Our only point of weakness might be striker as I don't know how ready Orozco is to fill Oribe's shoes
Definitely. As long as everyone can remain healthy, we will see an enormous improvement on that end. Last year, we were bad all around, specifically on counterattacks and set plays. Izquierdos and Aldrete are fast and technically sound; they will help immensely in both regards. We haven't been intimidating in the aerial attack, nor defensively since Baloy left, but Izquierdos and Alanis are very good in the air. Just two seasons ago, we were a top three-rated defense. I believe we have the potential to be even better than that.

So appearantly our Oribe replacement is already basically done: Plays in Europe, black, and his national team isn't in the WC. Joins the team next week. Entonces no es Caicedo, ni Varela. Im not sure if anyone else weve been linked to fits the bill. Probably still looking for a keeper.
Yeah, I've been trying to think of whom it could realistically be for the last two days. I haven't been able to come up with anyone that fits that criteria. Caixinha also mentioned that the last foreigner spot could be taken up by Junior Lacayo from our U20 squad. If that happens, that would mean that the deal for Buonanotte must have fallen through. I haven't heard any news on him for about two weeks. We also have that Brasilian kid on loan from Fluminense as well.
Hay un Peruano que juega en Sporting Clube de Portugal, Andre Carrillo... no se si por ahi vaya la cosa
Was excited to hear about Varela, don't know much about this guy tbh Hopefully Lacayo goes on loan to another club if our foreigner spots are taken up
#TopFT Directiva de Santos dice que ya tienen al sustituto de Oribe Peralta http://t.co/1o5Ki9oEyC— futboltotal (@futboltotal) June 23, 2014
Looks like it's going to be Djaniny from Cape Verde. Striker from CD Nacional in Portugal. I've honestly never heard of the kid. He's 23, 190 cm. After reading and viewing a few vids, he reminds me of a giant version of Andres Renteria. Interesting purchase. Could be a diamond in the rough.
lol wut? but thats certainly a hell of a find from our directiva if he turns out good. He reminds me a bit of Jackson with the ball as well. Great height. And hes got a relatively well produced highlight reel for someone so unknown. badass name too. Id like to think someone just saw his name on a team sheet and said "we gotta check him out"
Another possibility could be Andre Carillo from Sporting. Just a rumor, but he fits the criteria (though he's more of a winger). Would be awesome if we manage to get both. We would finally be able to get rid of Calderon.

Appearantly Peter Iphone (Caixinha) and Djaniny know each other from their time in Leiria in Portugal. So we might have been following the guy for a while now.
Interesting... he certainly has the physical profile of the great reinforcements of our team.. hope to see him bossing it up against the liga mx manlets soon
