Just a quick question for our Colombian friends (or anyone else that is interested). There is big PR push in Scotland just now to have Morelos of Rangers called up for Colombia.
Has this idea of a Morelos call up been reported in the Colombian press? And if so, what are Colombians making of it?
Nope not at all he has way way too many player above him. He is a 2022 player if that. Read of the his coach saying our NT coach should give him a shot. He Just has shit finishing and bad accuracy. He was garbage in Colombia. Went to Finland then Scotland. If you don’t play in Spain, Colombia, Argentina, Italy or France he won’t be called.
Many feel MLS is better then Scotland and the Colombian league is better then both. So until he makes the jump to the EPL he isn’t going to get called. Or to Mexico sadly. Rangers want 10 million euro for him so only teams going to pay that for a player in your league is in China, Mexico or a 2nd or 1st division English team. For 10 million you can get 2-3 better players from the Colombian league.
Colombia plays with 1 striker
Falcao is Our main guy mostly
Bacca #2 at Villarreal
Duvan Zapata or Muriel are our 3rd/4th
Don’t know if they will call more then 4
Above that
Borja of Palmerines in Brazil he was the reason a Colombian team won their 3rd Copa Lib.
Then we have utility guys who can play on the wing, CF or as a MF. The final roster feel a ton of guys will not be the best but guys who can play multiple positions.
-Izquerido plays for Brighton super fast winger
-Alvives another super fast winger that Mexico was trying to poach.
