Miguel Borja - news and comments

Que se dice en la prensa actualmente:

Nacional ya no tiene el poderio..........De esta lista hay que sumar a borja, berrio, marlos, matheus........los que no se han ido es mas que todo por falta de mercado

Obvio. Armani, Farid Díaz, Alex Mejía, Cardona, Alejandro Guerra, Berrio, Copete, Davinson, S. Perez, Duque, Sherman ... no hay equipo ni proyecto que resista la salida de sus mejores jugadores. Además de Osorio y Rueda. Y Lillo no dejo nada. La actualidad del verde es normal https://t.co/4PWaEfMoOG

It’s going to be a bloodbath fighting for the final striker roster spots come this summer.

 

That was a real golazo. The opponent was weak, but hey, they all count!

 

I am going to say the same thing about that goal that I said about the one he scored in November against China.

It was an absolute GOLAZO. I don't care who the opponent is/was, I have a hard time imagining any other Colombian strikers scoring goals like that in games.
It is valuable to have a player like him who can pull a rabbit out of his hat and shoot from anywhere on the field on target.

 

Si los recursos de borja para definir solo los tiene falcao y jackson......ambas piernas, buena ubicación, potencia

 

Loving these strikers getting back on track before the cup

 

Indeed. Especially Borja.
It took about a year for him to get acclimated to the new league but now he seems very comfortable with his teammates and his role in Brazill.

 

I'm not completely sold yet. Yeah, he's scoring, but this is the Paulista. The state tournaments of Brazil never match the intensity of the league.

 

The derbies does it, and brasilianz take more care about them that we think...

In libertadores agaisnt junior he performed well.

At the end of the brasil serie a, he scored multiple goals.

Like in 2016......

 

Jus for the record....he is a beast creating danger

 

Just finished watching the Game. He was so unlucky. They shouldn't have let him take the penalty Kick tho. I like his movements off the ball and to me he is our second most complete striker right now. He just needs to get more clinical in front of goal.

 

Se le aplauden las ganas y la moral para jugar pero en un mundial una oportunidad errada puede costar todo sino que le pregunten a Higuain .
Su competencia por un cupo hoy es Bacca, DuZa y hasta izquierdo aunque no jueguen en la misma posición

 

I put Borja over Bacca, as he's more in form with his club and plays with more intensity.

 

Falcao, Zapata y Muriel estan fijos..........Borja y Bacca compiten el ultimo puesto.

Izquierdo creo que va fijo junto a cuadrado, cardona y james

 

I am glad most people here are not being reactionary and saying Borja should not be called again due to his misses.
I just don't know if Pekerman will favor him over Bacca. I hope he does but I don't see it.

 

Only @Froboy69 that said he was a joke and was mocking because "people get exited" of him.....

 

I'd rather see Borja then Bacca, since we know Bacca can't play with Falcao his only use would be as a Falcao back up. It wouldn't feel fair leaving Bacca at home but unless Falcao is off form and likely to be dropped I just don't see him being useful enough whereas Borja can play alone or with Falcao as well as Muriel and Duvan.

 

For me Falcao the only guaranteed striker

Muriel, Zapata, Borja and Bacca really depends on club performance

Muriel is getting too much love because he was good against France.

To me Falcao>Borja>Zapata..... don’t really care who he picks between Bacca and Muriel.
