So BSC is on the look for a new GK and is rumored to be trying to get Dida. Honestly I dont want him to return to Ecuador much less BSC. I think BSC should try to get Daniel Azcona he is Nationalized or Cristian Bonilla or both for that matter. I feel like Bonilla would be perfect for BSC as their main GK Azcona for back up.
I just noticed that BSC is planing on nuking this whole team lol Players leaving: Banguera Frascarelli Erazo Gonzalez Herrera R.Oyola Lastra Perez Marcos Caicedo is also rumored to be out I think they should let Esterilla bounce as well. Alvez to and get Cifuentes back. Also Cevallos and Mendoza release them. Cevallos at this point isnt going to break into a big team he should stay at a small team where he gets playing time. Mendoza is 25 now and I never saw anything interesting from him that would want me to have him on a big team like BSC. Sign 2 GK and promote a youth for 3rd option. Also rumored to have signed Emanuel Matinez and Dida ? Dida I really dont believe. Signing I think they should make: GK Cristian Bonilla Daniel Azcona DEF William Riveros Gustavo Vallecilla Jairo Jimenez MID Bruno Pinatares Emanuel Martinez FW John Cifuentes Starting 11: Bonilla Velasco, Aimar, Riveros, Pineida Marquez, Pinatares E.Martinez, Aleman, F. Martinez Cifuentes Copa Ecuador Azcona Castillo, Vallecilla, Jimenez, B.Caicedo Montano, Calderon S.Caicedo, Diaz, Arce Campana
I really didnt think they would win it. I was so close to putting all my monies on that game. Congrats tho
Ngl i couldn't either i was streaming it on my phone at work and I had to leave my phone so I could focus and when I came back it was done.
I was reading a few articles talking about the liquidity issues with the team...and with covid-19 affecting ticket sales and TV deals, where does Barcelona find financial solvency for the year? Despite the win (well deserved), what is the long term prospect for the team? A few lawsuits loom on the horizon and the money is just simply not there (for the time being)
Budget was lowered from 17 million to 10 million. Jonathan Alvez was let go, was making $40k a month. Money is coming from Copa Libertadores, I believe BSC earned $5 million.
Financially a lot of teams are in disarray. Qualifying for copa libertadores was huge for BSC. They should also look to sell a player or two. Byron Castillo is an option. That's about it. Their squad for the most part is older. The league should have lowered the foreign player quota from for 6 to 4. A whole bunch of teams don't even have the money to pay their players yet they bring in overpriced Argentineans. Makes no sense.
https://www.futbolecuador.com/site/...del-idolo-no-es-llamado-a-la-seleccion/135132 "“No sé si el término es presionar (para que convoquen a Castillo), nadie puede discutir el buen momento y buen nivel que presenta Byron. Creo que Byron, si puede jugar aquí (Serie A), ha jugado Copa Libertadores y no ha habido inconvenientes, podría jugar en la Selección si hacen la consulta, siempre y cuando estén convencidos en el cuerpo técnico”, inició Pepe Pancho." This is lame and irresponsible. As we've seen from announcements, Castillo's case is still open and pending regarding this possible forgery of documentation. If the issue is still left unresolved, we could be in big trouble if the court proceedings don't lead to a favorable result IF he ever touches the pitch in an official NT cap. Be responsible and let things play out with absolute certainty before throwing the kid on the pitch. Can you imagine CONMEBOL or FIFA docking points from Ecuador at this moment as punishment? We're BARELY holding 3rd place in the eliminatorias.

If Adonis Preciado finished his plays better he could be playing in a better league. The dude has speed and athleticism that can't be taught.
Gabriel Cortez was arrested for alleged links to a criminal group/gang in Ecuador...along with 17 or 18 other people. These gangs all probably have MX cartel links. At a professional level, this is a distressing update, and I'm wondering if Barcelona has made a public statement or if they're planning to at some time. We hear of these updates from US-based musicians and some other athletes, so I'm not surprised it happens in Ecuador, too. If he's actually guilty, this is the end of his career as I'm guessing he'll see some legit jail time. He might get looks to keep playing in Ecuador if the sentence is short, but I doubt the big clubs won't take that risk. He's a toxic asset. All around disappointing and upsetting news.
He was playing well too. I think he leads Liga Pro in goals. Had he kept it up he could have gotten a look with the NT. Probably could have gotten another opportunity abroad. BSC is probably waiting for more information. It could be that his childhood friends are involved.
Cartels related crimes are growing in drastic numbers all across LATAM. Small cities that rarely had any major crime now have sicarios y tiroteos. Crazy to see Ecuador having this level of crime all across the country.
I haven't read up that much on the case but Gabriel Cortez's career might be over. Maybe a small club in Ecuador will give him a chance. I think he had a chance to make another move abroad. Given how he was playing he was probably on the NTs radar. Dude is a modern enganche. Fast, strong, good technique, versatile. He had the talent to play in Europe.
Aimar's form is poor. It wasn't too long ago (2019) that he last played for the NT. The injury he suffered last year probably has something to do with it. Prior to Alfaro releasing his first convocatoria his name popped up. How many more chances will Garces get? Playing with him is playing with one less. Dude's confidence is shot after missing that penalty in Copa Libertadores. Penilla also hasn't contributed much. Celico should give Yanez and Edwin Valencia more opportunities. Given what's going on with Cortez, Fidel Martinez may return to BSC. I haven't heard anything but he's not getting much playing time in Mexico. I don't see him going to MLS or Brazil. I think he'll go back to Ecuador.
. @AlfaroMoreno : “Javier (Burrai) es la representación de lo que queremos de BSC. Ya ha empezado tramites de naturalización al igual que Emanuel y nosotros vamos a colaborar en lo que podamos” en #AlToque— Germán Gallardo R. (@gallardogerman) April 25, 2022 This has to be regulated. Given the number of nationalized players they'll have and foreigners not many Ecuadorians will get a chance to play. They'll probably look to nationalize Mastriani and Piñatares too.
If they spend enough time in Ecuador, to me, it's not an issue. I'd take grievance with a new entrant coming in and immediately getting nationalized- then we have problems. Burrai has been living in Ecuador for 5 years.
I've got no issues with Burrai getting nationalized. The fef should regulate the number of slots a team can designate to foreign and nationalized players.
They will have 4 if they both get nationalized. Although Lucas Sosa is on Loan and Diaz is about to be 37 it is something teams and BSC specifically has exploited in the past. I dont think there a league that limits nationalized player and I dont think we will. Aucas has 3 atm too. Frascareli, Sergio Lopez, and Juan Manuel Tevez. It a good thing we expanded our league otherwise this would be a bigger problem but I dont think other fans and FEF really care that much bout it TBH. I just really hope we can expand Seria B tbh. Torreros, Rocafuerte, Deportivo Quito, CS Norte America, Athletico Kin would be amazing to all have in Seria B at once.
