I was browsing around for a bit...and just thought when looking at our current squad; Does Christian Riveros fit into our plans next seaso. We havn't really seen this guy in action, and for all we know under MON he might be a gem. I know we are blessed with CM at the minute, but over pre-season he may impress. We all know under Bruce he wasn't given a fair chance... Would you like him back?
I think his problem was the physical side of the game, that could have been improved with his time on loan, would MON improve him, would I like a night with Bridges girlfriend?
If Riveros does get his chance i can see a few people leaving then. At the moment we have Catts, Gardner, Vaughen, Colback & Meyler challenging for 2 cm spots. I can imagine some of them wont be happy playing 4th or 5th in the pecking order and may end up somewere else next season (especially if MON wants his own players as well). I think we will also see a similar situation with the CB's as we have quiet a few that can fill in there as well.
I think Riveros is not going to make it here. For one thing, he isn't needed these days. We have better options in Gardener, Catts, Colback, Meyler and Vaughan. Not the time to look back.
Personally I think if Riveros could produce his form he does for Paragauy he would be the best central midfielder at the club the only problem is the premier league does not suit the lad. IMO he would be good in a league like La Liga. He should be given a pre season under MoN but I cannot see him staying
Riveros is a better passer than ANYONE we have. He is absolutely worth MON having a look at. Physically he struggled, but the Turkish league is very feisty indeed, it may have helped. This is a quality player, and writing him of is a folly IMO.
Scored 2 in 25. That is all i know.. Just a reminder of what he is all about.. [video=youtube;e1gGQhitG1U]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1gGQhitG1U[/video]
It does...whilst i thought he was finished at the club, we just don't know.. No doubt the lad has talent, as is proven on the Int. stage.. It's a new regime in charge now, clean slate for all..... We just have to look at young McClean, as to what some can do when finally given a chance.
i really hope he gets a chance because i think he is top notch everytime he got a chance which wasnt often he was played out of possition, think he played him in his proper possition against arsenal and he was motm...
