king1010 Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 10 hours ago, Obinna said: Just as an aside.....are Pumas really in that top echelon? I don't follow Mexican soccer that closely, but UNAL Tigres and Monterrey strike me as being far more likely to get this "star treatment" before Pumas. I think both of those northern clubs have found success more recently compared to Pumas, and maybe Pumas have more historic success, but as a casual onlooker it does seem that both are "bigger" nowadays.

kacbru Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Yeah, weird. Cav was subbed on at the 70' mark when they were already down 2-1 on the weekend. Ended up losing 3-2. So surprised to hear he was out injured. Olympique_de_Marseille 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obinna Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 (edited) This whole thing of getting called and pulling out reminds me of a time somewhat recently where Cavallini was called up but then pulled out to focus on his club. Was that last NL? Cannot recall exactly. Either way, it may be best for everyone that he rehabs what ever he needs to rehab. He could have been useful for a 15 minute cameo to see out a match, but JRR getting that experience is good for his future and the teams future. I know people feel he won't play and I tend to agree, but I wouldn't rule out him coming in late for at least one game. We'll probably want to keep David and/or Larin somewhat fresh, so both may not play the full 90. On the other hand though, both haven't played much for club, so maybe it's back-to-back 90s for both. We'll have to see I guess. Edited November 14, 2023 by Obinna The Real Marc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unnamed Trialist Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 A step up after a poor Clausura, quite surprising.

He's had and has some issues, however I don't feel work rate and intensity are some of them. In the right system he will score if he gets the minutes. He just has a very specific style of play. He doesn't have the skillset to adapt to all forms of the beautiful game. Edited January 5 by costarg Obinna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
