Colombian Gems

[TheReligion]

James Rodriguez, Wilmar Barrios and Juan Quintero have all impressed tonight.

Obviously we all know about Rodriguez but looking at Barrios and Quintero, both seem pretty available and not at a massive cost? Quintero is out of favour at Porto and on loan at River Plate whilst Barrios is playing at Boca.

Alex Ferguson

 

[VorZakone]

Never buy players based purely on 1 tournament

 

[Bole Top]

Barrios has release clause btw. he's available for 14.5 mil if some club make that offer.

 

[FC Ronaldo]

James Rodriguez was ideal for United after Real Madrid.

Quintero is only playing well on a tournaments.

 

[Massive Spanner]

Quite a few gems in the crowd.

Would he get a work permit

 

[Robbie Boy]

Cocaine.

 

[SalfordRed18]

Pavlychenko, Arshavin...

 

[Nick7]

Quintero is shite.

 

[Kostur]

Get Quintero.

 

[Razvan]

Well, maybe there's a reason why they're both in their mid 20s and still play in Argentina.

 

[Bole Top]

Would he get a work permit

really can't say. but he's heavily linked with Tottenham, so...

*loads up Football Manager*

 

[Charles Miller]

Quite a few gems in the crowd.

Thought the thread was about that.

 

[Nero]

People get way too carried away with players at World Cups.

 

[kouroux]

I liked their DM.

 

[GledTheRed]

James Rodriguez was ideal for United after Real Madrid.

He sure would have, never get him out of Bayern now.

 

[Keeps It tidy]

Would he get a work permit

Everyone gets a work permit now. Just need to pay over 10 million.

 

[Inter Yer Nan]

I remember people getting excited at the prospect of us signing half the Dutch team after the group stages in 2014 and subsequently they haven't qualified for a tournament since.

That was only due to the obvious LVG link.

 

[Rob]

Gutted. Didn't think this thread was about players.

 

[Giggs86]

I was expecting something else when I opened this thread.

Disappointed.

 

[golden_blunder]

We’ll end up with cuadrado

 

[Charlie Foley]

Thought this was another photo thread

 

[MJJ]

Too inconsistent, had the potential to be better than james but threw it away.

Regarding quintero.

Cuadrado would be ace though.

 

[Chairman Woodie]

Oh. I thought this thread was about 'Colombian Gems' of the female variety.

Same. Thread needs saving.

 

[Sparky Rhiwabon]

Or a Rojo

Or a Diouf or a Diao -two for the price of one

 

[VorZakone]

I liked that LB, Johan Mojica.

 

[royboy16]

Quite a few gems in the crowd.

There was indeed

 

[oneniltothearsenal]

James had a good career trajectory from Porto to Monaco but the Real move was really a mistake in hindsight.
Would like to see Quintero at a strong CL side to see if he can reach his potential.

Quadrado would be a decent right wing option. Better than Willian imo.

 

[Trophy Room]

In the case of James, make that two.

 

[marktan]

Quadrado would be a decent right wing option. Better than Willian imo.

No way. He was poor for Chelsea, okay to average for Juve, and was poor in the first WC game and wasn't great again today aside from the goal. A goal shouldn't mask his flaws, he's got pace, but his technique leaves a lot to be desired.

 

[fatmanWazza]

Not going to lie.. I thought this thread had pics of Colombian fans or something on those lines

 

[Peyroteo]

James Rodriguez was ideal for United after Real Madrid.

This. I said it at the time too that it would have been a perfect fit and I think you’re going to keep missing a player like him.

 

[ElectroManiac]

Quintero has a lot of talent but I think doesn't have the mentality. There is a reason he hasn't do good at Porto.

Quite a few gems in the crowd.

Not Gonna deny is the first though on my head when I saw the thread title.
