So stupid. Are we this desperate for Vargas to be the gk? Are the alternatives so bad that a recently operated Vargas is better? Don't like this at all it's one thing to be healthy it's another to be in shape. Would've preferred Ospina and he's not even called up.
They think Vargas can be fully recovered by June but it is risky. Nice to se Puerta be considered. Other players I have heard rumored to be on the squad (but nothing confirmed yet) is Cucho, Cuadrado,Angulo from Independiente, Roger and Luis Javier Suarez. But as with all things Colombian media related these rumors can be totally wrong.
the Saudi league better than the Colombian league? Like to see a friendly with Nacional vs one of their teams. I doubt it
Pretty much what my gut feelings are. I think it is most likely JArias plays left wing for Diaz as he did earlier in the cycle when he was injured. Roger for Santos Borre I'd take as at least an even push, he may be even better cause he puts better shots on goal. Viveros deserves to at least be training with the team since Marino also was rewarded for his play with Nacional.
I mean he's considering Luis Suarez and Mier which is saying something so im sure Hernandez is there too
Well in the end it doesn't matter if he doesn't have the balls to actually use them. It's sad that we are in this situation, would be fun to see these guys play but to throw in someone who hasn't been part of the process and not even played a minute in a friendly isn't very likely. But who knows. I think at the most these guys will get 5-10 mins in Lorenzos usual wastetime -subs when it's too late or the game is already decided.
Nah didn't watch, don't really put much into a single dead rubber game anyways, he's been very good in all the important games as a 9 which we don't really have any other guys on form.
Assuming Vargas is not cleared to play by the medical staff I think this is the most likely lineup we see against Peru: -------------------------Montero------------------ Munoz--------Davinson ----Lucumi------Mojica ------------------Rios------Lerma--------------- -----------Carrascal------------------------------ -------------------------James------------Arias-------- -----------Duran--------------------------- Maybe Cuadrado for Carrascal would be considered for a variant. Or Cordoba over Duran but Duran is still our best bet for shot accuracy.
I would like to see Gabriel Fuentes and Cucho get a real shot. I have had enough of Mojica and his limitations going forward as well as the hiccups defensively. Lorenzo needs to have some balls and shake things up a little.
oh a game with Mexico? guess its that time of year again im sure we'll play the US again too while we're at it
