Ramiro Funes Mori

[d34noj]

Vickery is a little bit of a snide. Didn't he say james Rodriguez would struggle?

The guy is a journo at the end of the day. Not a manager, coach or a scout. Just a snidey journo.

To be fair, James Rodriguez is struggling.





Struggling to stop scoring world class goals ffs. The sexy little monkey him.

Exactly and Tata Martino rates him very highly he's in the squad for the two matches v Mexico and Bolivia so you guys. can see him with Messi and Co.I would say Otamendi will play one match and EL mellizo the other.Hope it goes well for Melli and Everton and if he's given a little time he will do very very well as he is clever with huge ambition

What does Melli mean mate, and why's he called it? if you know the reason!

Can he play left back? Because he could be going straight in there!!

Also, it seems to me the club are trying to market him as the big marquee signing we've all been craving, lots of stories on him, a video of his first day etc. I very much doubt he'd have been getting that air time if the elusive play maker had reared his head!!

Melli is short for Mellizo which means twin.His twin brother Rogelio also learned his trade at River as center forward but he wasn't as successful as Ramiro and was a pet hate of the River fans who are notoriously hard to please.He moved to Benéfica then went to Turkey and now he's taken off at Monterrey in Mexico where he is one of the liga Mx top scorers.Passarella loved Rogelio and thought he could have been a Batistuta type powerful center forward but he missed incredible goals the year River were relegated and he couldn't cope with the pressure but he is in a good place now

Yes but i think it'd be to soon to play him left back against chelsea, especially when they have wingers like hazard and pedro

Wow are those all of our deadline day signings?

so the guy can play in hostile atmospheres (Argentinian derbies) but can't play against decent opposition players. HMMM

absolutely nothing to do with it, it's about giving him a chance to settle in first, and adapting to the league, that takes time.

NO TIME TO SETTLE BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Imagine If the net had been about when we got the likes of alan harper or gary ablett everybody would have been having a fit wisdom at the time had them down as rubbish and both those turned out more than alright .
just being in a new team or under a diffrent manager can bring a player onto another level.

alan harper.... there was enough anger in our house at that so god knows what some of the edgy types on here would have been like. Him and Sheedy in centre of midfield for a handful of games provided some of the most exciting football I have seen.

Don't you think it might be a good idea if he played at least a few minutes with his new teammates behind the scenes before throwing him up against Pedro?

Backlines rely a lot on communication and familiarity to be effective, would be far more comfortable flinging an attacking player onto the pitch with his contract ink barely dry than a defender.

 

[oldblue]

he looks so awkward when posing for photos makes me believe he will be brilliant

 

[Moomin]

I hope his freekicks hit the wall every time.

We've never replaced Alan Stubbs in that field.
