Hi: Lautaro Martinez is a great player and will do great with Barca. Whether he is worth 111 mils or not it is not the question. We just cannot afford him! Go for Adolfo Gaich from San Lorenzo in Argentina. He is 6' 3" and is a goal scorer. His nickname is the "Tank." It is almost impossible...

Those of you that do not like Vidal's signing because of age, physical conditioning, or ability as a player do not know anything about the player. He is a top-notch DM, among the top 3 in the world! The reason for Bayern to sell Vidal so cheap is another. I won't say anything to give Vidal the...

I have come to the following conclusion: Paulinho and Arturo Vidal have the same hairdresser.

The one day I do not follow the news, it is the same day that Sampaoli resigns to the NT! I won't follow the news tomorrow. Maybe we get a new coach! :lol: Pekerman is rumored for the Manager of all the National Teams. Gallardo and Gareca are the frontrunners for the main team. However, who...

Boca Jr, of Argentina, has renewed the contract of forward Cristian Pavón increasing his salary. There has been a lot of interest from many European teams for Pavón's services. However, Boca has decided to keep the 21-year old player for at least one more year. His new rescission clause is of...

I've seen Arthur play for Gremio in Copa Libertadores. He was hurt and did not play in a couple of games. Gremio was a great team with Arthur and not so good without him - day and night difference. Arthur is a tremendous addition. Hektor

It would be nice to have Hazard, but not for 180-M Euros. I wouldn't pay 180-M Euros for 26-year old Neymar, either. It seems that we are playing with monopoly money. Has the football world gone crazy? Both Coutinho and Dembélé were too expensive, imho. We cannot continue to expend money...

Yes, there is a next Messi; it is a matter of time. People also said that there was no next Di Stefano and we got Sivori. It was also said that there was no other Maradona and we got Messi. Romero reminds me of Messi when he was 14. Hektor PS: Keep in mind that in the YouTube video, Romero...

Eden Hazard is an excellent player. However, he is no near Ronaldo, Neymar, or Messi level. In addition, the 180M-Euros rumored transfer fee that Real Madrid is willing to pay for him, is way too much for a 27-year player like Hazard. We have to be more responsible and judicious with our money...

I believe that this is a token called-up by Argentina. A 14-year old player is still not developed physically to play with 17-year old players that are almost fully developed. Luka can easily get hurt from a sliding tackle by a much bigger player. We'll see what happens in the U-17 WC in Peru...

I always stated, in this forum, that the next Messi will be found in Argentina. Well, Luka Romero is Argentine because of his parents, he was born in Mexico, and he plays in Mallorca. He has a Spanish passport. Pablo Aimar, the Argentine U-!7 coach, has called him to form part of the team the...

Yes. https://www.clarin.com/deportes/futbol/velez-sarsfield/joyita-futbol-argentino-emigra-europa-cifra-millonaria_0_BkG2t1HQm.html The following is a Youtube video of Caceres. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCaOjxxrY6Q Hektor

More Argentine News. Santiago Cáceres, the 20-year old midfielder of Velez Sarsfield was transferred to the Villareal for 10 million Euros. He seems to be a defensive midfielder "5." The replacement of Mascherano? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCaOjxxrY6Q...

Sampaoli has changed his mind and is refusing to coach a U-20 team in the Non-FIFA sanctioned tournament in Valencia, Spain. Lots of teams are not allowing their players to partake in a Non-FIFA tournament. Therefore, AFA is getting ready to fire Sampaoli, so it seems. Hektor

This World Cup is the triumph of the "Anti-Football." Now most of the teams do not just park the bus, all the players hang from the horizontal as well. The only way to combat the 10-0-0 formations is with the long ball, which produces four possible outcomes: (1) is nothing, so try again (2) a...

Argentine news. Sampaoli will manage the U-20 team in the Valencia tournament at the end of July. He knows most of the U-20 team since they were the so-called "sparring partners" to the main NT that travelled with them to Spain and Russia. Nicolas Gonzalez, a 20-yer old forward, was sold...

Well, Argentina was not a good team in the WC, but it was not the worst. We only lost to France and Croatia. France is a WC finalist and Croatia could be the other one. Hektor

I agree with the article. However, everything has to do with the utterly corrupt Julio Grondona and nothing with Claudio Tapia who has to paste together the broken dishes. However, the present AFA situation is not as dire as the article indicates. The U-15 and U-17 are now under Pablo Aimar...

The fact remains that Argentina did not have the team. It was the defense that betrayed Argentina. They were too slow. In addition, we did not have anyone that could replace Mascherano. What we need is to start from the back forward. First get a good defense and then form a winning team. After...

OK. The World Cup is over. We have to start from scratch from the defense forward. The problem is that we do not have good central defenders as far as I know. What's next? We have some friendlies at the end of 2018. There is also the Copa America Brazil-2019 and the qualifications for...
