So it sounds like we have no control over when he actually arrives and won't know what state of fitness he is in until he arrives.

Fingers crossed he does well. This will be his 6th loan in 5 years. So at least he is probably be handy at moving his stuff.
That part of the article amused me also.
“Hopefully he will be here before FFA Cup”. It doesn’t mention visa issues or anything, just that he will head back to his club post Conccaf. So why can’t we, idk, try and sort out his arrival date and get him here for preseason.
I guess we should be happy if he’s here before round 8.
Sounds like he’s gonna be burnt out when he gets here if he was singed.
I wonder if he speaks English? If not, I wonder who would speak Spanish in the squad?

He scored for Panama 2 days ago.

I just saw that he was born in Colón, he should fit right at home here with our club then..
He's scoring against some pretty woeful defence even by A-League standards.
He would not have cost us too much coin so could be a good value signing - but he's hardly going to be scoring 15 goals in a season.

It's a gamble and one we had to make given the circumstances surrounding finances. He probably has the potential for 10/15 goals given half decent service but I feel more optimistic about Champness hitting that mark at this stage.
Also if we aren't going to build championship calibre squads id prefer to buy cheaper, younger imports with potential to cash in on
so we need someone from that area who may or may not be able to communicate with him? so when is Ernie announcing he's signed Fabio Ferreira as a translator? (ex-gypo, fits the remit )
Life isn't the same without Con... but it can only improve without Tinks...
Arroyo was subbed on in the 46th minute today against the USA in the CONCACAF Gold Cup..
They lost 1-0, but that's still not a bad effort against the yanks I guess..
Soooo, we finishing 8th or 10th this year?
