this kid better be Jesus x Pele.
For that money, if he is, it'll be the signing of the century...7.4 million for a striker is pennies. He is young though...

His goals suggest he's got a powerful shot on him and he's pretty strong. Quite composed too. That's literally all I can tell.
Other reports suggest he's got 'vision', he's a 'good passer' and has 'techinical aptitude'.
Apparently Real Madrid were looking at him too.
Yep, from the Caf...DominoKid said:so there's some video of him?

Re: Mexico vs. Spain, daaaaaaaaaamn. I bet that was awesome. Of course the Mexican media is already starting to hype us again. You idiots!
KS Seven X said:Mexico has a good future. Not good enough to win a world cup obviously, but still good.
Regulus Tera said:I'm not saying we don't have a good future (Chicharito <3), but that we really should think of ourselves more than we really are.
"OMG we almost beat the World Champion! See guys we really are one of the best teams in the world!" No idiots, no stop doing that. Fucking Televisa.
KS Seven X said:Yeah, I agree. Spain only used 3 starters when we had our A team. It was also only a friendly. This was just a glimpse of using the right line up and future and nothing more. It's too bad our B team sucked dick and lost the lead.
Ryck said:So....
Rooney
Berbatov
Owen
Chicharito
Welbeck
Macheda
Diouf ( loaned)
Bebe
Are we trying to build an all striker team or what? I wish we had that kind of depth at midfield.

Raging Spaniard said:Big fan of Chicharrito, I hope he does well. Mexico needs another star.
btw, glad we didnt play Mexico in the WC :lol
Regulus Tera said:A Mexico with the team we wanted in the World Cup could not win against an untrained and hardly titular Spain in the bloody Azteca. Had this been a match of importance we would have lost by at least two goals. Mexico's only redeeming feature in this match was Chicharito.
Also, I thought you were French?
EDIT: Best thing outta the Mexico vs. Spain duel:
pulga said:As long as Canales is in, I BELIEVE.
And I really don't want Ozil in Madrid, we've got enough players in his position already. Would rather them focusing on getting rid of M. Diarra and Drenthe, finding a REAL leftback, and maybe humor Mou with a new forward.

MPW said:i am very surprised mourinho hasn't addressed the LB postion, all summer he wanted to get maicon even though ramos showed in wc in can play the rb positino just fine
marcelo is good going forward but sucks @ defending
arbeloa can play lb but he ain't word class
david luiz or Fábio Coentrão would be nice ...
industrian said:I wonder how the Scottish media are reacting to a half-strength Scottish team getting pumped in a meaningless friendly against Sweden. Anyone calling for Levein's head yet?
im just glad Mexico didnt looseMexico v. Spain
jorma said:Swedish media ceirtanly did not view this friendly as meaningless. We're doing a generation shift atm though so it's a bit of "every game counts" for us now. Also, return of Ibra.
And the fact that we were looking really good in this game helps![]()
industrian said:Is Ibrahimovic the new Larsson? As in, retiring, comeback, retiring, comeback...
The Scottish media saw it as meaningless because the Scottish Premier League (as well as the English Premiership) starts on Saturday and having a friendly international match this close to the start of the season meant that none of our good players would risk a pre-season injury for no reward. That and our first two Euro 2012 qualification matches are seen as "easy" by pretty much everyone (Lithuania and Liechtenstein iirc).

jorma said:Nah, he just didnt feel like playing in the really meaningless friendlies in between our failed WC qualification bid and today.
Lithuania home or away? Because i would have a hard time seeing the away game as 3 given points for Sweden. A must win game for sure, but far from guaranteed...
industrian said:Our Euro qualifiers are going to be rough. We've got Spain. Spain. And the Czech Republic of course.
Scotland's games:
3 September 2010 - Lithuania v Scotland
7 September 2010 - Scotland v Liechtenstein
8 October 2010 - Czech Republic v Scotland
12 October 2010 - Scotland v Spain
3 September 2011 - Scotland v Czech Republic
6 September 2011 - Scotland v Lithuania
8 October 2011 - Liechtenstein v Scotland
11 October 2011 - Spain v Scotland
Typical Scotland luck means we'll beat the Czechs twice, draw with the Spanish but lose to Liechtenstein or some shit and fail to qualify because of that loss. Just like in Euro 2008 when we beat France twice, but missed out on qualification because we fucked up against Georgia.
But I dare to dream and think that we can beat Lithuania and Liectenstein twice, win at least once against the Czechs and get a draw in our second game with them and we should be cool as long as they stumble against Spain and Lithuania/Liechtenstein. But there's no way we're going to beat Spain. Maybe we'll draw against them when we play them at Hampden, but I don't see us getting more than 1 point against them in two games.
Sweden should have no difficulty in being second in their group. I say "second" because you've got the Netherlands.![]()
MrSerrels said:Spain could get through that group with the maximum.
Scotland? I don't expect to see us at a major final for a good ten years.
I really think Scottish football is on the right track a lot of good players coming through Murray Park but it'll be a while before we can truly compete again.
