I know he is good on football manager.

Seriously I know the likes of Man United and Arsenal have been after him in the past, so he must have something going for him...

We need a mexican correspondant.

The information collated by up to two sources, shows that Guillermo Ochoa has a serious offer only computer that currently with another Mexican: Carlos Salcido.


Although the supply of Fulham exists another in the table Coapa institution, without knowing the team gave the most interesting and convenient for the moment is that of the Cottagers.

a Big NO THANKS

This guy is more concerned with his perm and headband than his craft. The El Tri fans I know can't stand him (granted most of them are Chivas fans which is the arch-rvial of Ochoa's Club America, but even the America fans were down on him in the summer). He has a great management team behind him since you can't watch Galavision or Telemundo without seeing his mug endorsing something. During the WC, he was doing shampoo, Toyota, Bud Light, etc commercials and he never got out of his warmups. The laughable thing is El Tri have been trying to give him the number 1 jersey for years and he can't grab hold of it. He was so bad in qualifying they went back to El Conejo "The Rabbit" Perez who is 5' 2" and 58 years old (only slightly joking). He is athletic, but one mistake and he'll fold like a tent. Mentally he is the opposite of Salcido, who is one tough hombre. Think of the Spuds GK Gomes, but only worse. I can't stress enough that this guy is not cut out to be anything more than a backup.

Now that you mention it: the Rabbit was a plain awful keeper in the WC. If he can't beat him for a first spot on the Mexican team, then surely he can't be a good replacement for either Schwarzer or young Stockdale.

[VicHalomsLovechild]

Perhaps the thinking behind this deal, is so we have someone who can shout out "get back here" in Mexican when Salcido goes bombing on for goal!

[MemoOchoa]

This season only !


Guillermo Ochoa I Am Not A Human Being

[Whiteroom]

He certainly makes things look athletic. I had the feeling the Schwarz would have made a few of those look routine. Maybe I'm being ultra critical.

[MemoOchoa]

You gotta see these !

I was about to post almost exactly the same question! This guy seems pretty keen!

[ToodlesMcToot]

Gotta say that I'm not too keen on this move. He's certainly and acrobatic keeper and a good keeper. But making that fit in the context of the Premier League, I believe will be a problem.

IMO he's not an imposing figure in the box and I believe he'd have problems with crosses and the physicality of the league. It's something I think he could possibly overcome. Personally, I wouldn't mind getting him and loaning him out to a lower league to see if he's up to it.

He definitely shouldn't be an immediate replacement for Schwartzer.

[Lighthouse]

He is not coming and is certainly no first team replacement. He looks too short.

What like shay given?

When he is on, he is en fuego.  :014:

[MemoOchoa]

Maradona even admitted him being the best keeper in all the Americas
