BolivianFuego

http://www.facetasdeportivastv.com/nota.php?id=7524 Well guys, he just signed with Maccabi Tel Aviv of Israel. In this article it states he had offers from Brasil, from Athletico Paranaense, You guys at Everton, and a not named team in Ukraine. He went basically for starting time and money from what i suspect, as in the article it emphasises his lack of playing time in this last year where he found himself in Mexico and Saudia Arabia. With lack of playing time he has found himself off the list for bolivia and the qualifiers. With that said, i would have rather have him in brasil because of the playing style and his touch, but In Israel it seems he will have optimum playing time, as that too probably would not be gauranteed with you guys at Everton. I am sure he is getting paid better too than he would get in Brasil (my guess 150-200k USD) compared to the Euros he would get in Israel or the money he'd get at everton/playing time.

Yes, just as VivaBolivar stated above, he is a good central, and right defender. He was often credited in Argentina as one of the best defenders in the league, stopping the likes of Riquelme and shutting down many potent offenses in the league. His style would work well with the EPL, as he is tough, a hard tackler and his touch on the ground is as good as many south american midfielders (same with his passing). He captained Bolivia up until his drop in form (mainly his state of fitness dropped because of him leaving saudia arabia). After rosario central, there were rumors his ex coach that went on to coach Boca, carlos ischia, was going to bring his captain to Boca. But things never came through, and he stayed at Rosario, and same goes with rumors of him leaving to River Plate too years before then. He instead decided to leave rosario and head for the $$$ and messed up his career in Saudia Arabia by going to Al-Hilal earning close to 900k Euro's yearly. He soon left the club before his contract was up, because he was uncomfortable with the culture and way of life in Saudia Arabia. He was on a free transfer then, and a terrible Cruz Azul decided to give him a go, letting him join the club. He couldnt even help them, because of how bad they were. They were beyond repair and went down in flames, with him often being fingered as one of the reasons, they decided to let him go. He basically from that point on to now, has been a work in progress, he was given a go vs. Venezuela last game before the one vs. Paraguay, and was obviously rusty and out of shape. He didnt have a great game, but showed flashes of his old self. Hopefully since then, to now, he has improved his fitness and gotten back to his old self. His old form at rosario, would be a great fit for your squad and league. I just hope he shows this to your team and gets a place on the squad. Cheers from Virgina!
