went to Internacional and is not playing well (its a reserve player). the best Uruguayan playing in Porto Alegre is not Forlán, but Maxi Rodriguez (ex Montevideo Wanderers), who plays for Grêmio. He doesnt have much playing time yet (he is young and the stupid coach thinks he is not "ready yet"). Gremio fans however LOVE HIM. 2:05 and 4:11
He was a very impressive player even during his Wanderers days. Both Nacional and Peñarol wanted him, but were only offering peanuts. I'm glad he's continuing to develop at Gremio, a lot of our promising players disappear when they move abroad. His time with the national team will come, he's part of Tabarez' "process", though he's unlikely to be brought in before the World Cup.
Well, it's not like he was playing much for Inter lately. It's my understanding that they weren't keen on letting him go if he was moving to another Brazilian club. Money aside, it's better for him to be getting some playing time at a lower level than none, I suppose.
