Claudio Echeverri/On Loan at River Plate

Still 18. Will he be on the A or B UEFA list when he joins us? I think the former.

River hosted Platense in a friendly today. River got down 0-2 before winning 4-2. Echeverri started the 2nd half and scored 2 goals. I'll look around for clips.

What's going on with Echeverri? Echeverri's reputation with fans at X is getting worse, he's on the bench because he's behind the starting lineup? What's going on.....

I'm addition to the excellent comments and analysis by @shroom , you have to realise that once fans know that a player has chosen to leave them and their club, they're often subjected to unfavourable comment, especially leaving their home country too.

HT River 2-1 Tucuman, River has come from behind against a team hunting top of the league, Echeverri helped create the 2nd goal with a thru ball that is then chipped to the far post, VAR eventually called it a goal ...


edit: CE went off at 70m with a 2-1 lead, played fine, scrappy game, like a volleyball match at times - ball arcing back and forth back and forth with little skill play involved

What do you think, could he become a player on the level of David Silva? I've only seen the kid on youtube, but he looks pretty good there. It's got me quite hyped up.

Is he coming over here in the new year like Alvarez did?

Easy tiger, David is one of the best to ever don a City shirt.

Easy tiger, David is one of the best to ever don a City shirt.

My thoughts, this kid could be a huge success and still not reach Silva’s levels.
