worth a punt i suppose. we could look at this in a very negative way; 'we're signing an almost completely unheard of player from columbia, how far have we fallen that we're not even going to try and sign big name players'. but i quite like it. about time we started thinking outside the box with transfers.

It's a gamble, but at least it's not a £35million or £20million gamble!
My opinion is that if he is that good why is he still playing in Columbia at 25? Still if its true lets hope he will turn out to be a superstar!!!

Im not convinced, the lad can strike a ball well enough with both foot and head, but iv watched a couple of videos and all his goals seem to come from defensive errors rather than skill, but im not scout so hopefully he will prove me wrong

Sorry, but my point still stands, if he is any good, why is he playing in the Mexican league at 25?

I don't think the Mexican league is as bad as you think and not all players want to leave for Europe. I think its worth a punt for a smallish fee.

I think it is worth a gamble for a low fee but my point stands, surely he has been scouted by other clubs but not bought, why?
Rangers had an awful midfielder called Charlie Adam a few years ago who they got rid of to a Championship team, he proved to be a key player who a very poor side but now looks hopelessly out of his depth at a big club.
It's easy for low key players to look good at average or poor clubs, however they will always get shown up on the big stage, like we have found out to our cost this season!

Theres also a player called Antonio Valencia at United who's turned out not to be out of his depth at a bigger club. In our circumstances where I think we won't be able to compete for the top end players who are well known and scouted, we will have to start looking elsewhere for value and hidden gems and Latin America is certainly an area that has generally been undervalued bar the marque players. Africa is also an area that we should be looking at as the players are generally physically well able for the Premiership and can hopefully fit in quickly
