    Have to wonder if all the whining made Ussoccer do things differently with dual nationals though.

    We were in a emotionally vulnerable state after failing to qualify. It is forgivable.

    The loan is confirmed:

    González will go to Aguascalientes only as a loan, since both Javier Aguirre and the Rayados board see with good eyes that Jonathan has a greater participation in official matches and returns with more experience to the Monterrey Football Club.

    hard not to shake your head at this one. it’s like liga mx is in cahoots with el tri officials to help make greggs dual national recruiting job easier

    At the time, wasn't he in the Liga MX best 11 at 18? His career trajectory looked very exciting. Even if he just stayed at the same level, he would likely be Adams' backup right now. He didn't, but I don't think it's something anybody could have predicted.

    Can we update the thread title to "In Hot Water - Jonathan Gonzales on loan at Aguascalientes from CFM"?

    What would have been.

    Had he chose the US, played in the MLS, he's probably somewhere in Euro at this time.

    Having never watched a second of him professionally, it’s extremely odd that he went from above average starter to a guy who’s barely hanging on. He didn’t have any major injuries either, did he? My thought is that some guys just get burnt out, even though they still keep playing. IDK.

    different coaches rate different players...look at lukaku or better example giroud at chelsea......i think many observers significantly underrate fit and scheme in terms of evaluating players. if a coach doesnt rate a player - its basically curtains until they can get to a new club, at minimum..and then they are behind the 8ball as they often havent played much for a while.....then people turn around and judge and say it was justified that they werent playing when their current form is often bc they werent playing.

    that said, sometimes players do kinda fall off...not an expert on this one...havent really watched him, either

    Yeah, that definitely happens, but guys like Lukaku have enough admirers that they can usually find a fit somewhere even after a down year or so. Conte/Inter still saw a lot of value in him while he was at United, even though many thought he was underwhelming there. Maybe Gonzalez just had a hot streak in the right system at the right time, but I’m surprised that no other club in Mexico or even MLS seems to see value in what he brings to the table.

    Atlanta wanted him but Monterrey was asking too much. I think that's when Santiago Sosa was bought instead.
