Has this something to do with regularly playing teams like Costa Rica and Guatemala when wearing a Mexico shirt?

Rars, I was referring to Klose's awful club form the season prior to tearing it up at WC2010.

Last year he played against Spain and Brazil. Coming from a country that will no doubt over react to a player's exploits against the mighty Moldova and San Marino later this year, that sort of sarcasm is a bit rich.

I think we're looking for around 1 mio for him. Too bad he couldn't adapt to England.

Just found this on a mexican site. Tried to translate as best as possible


Pablo Barrera could have a clearer picture this weekend. The West Ham player of England ended his loan with Zaragoza in Spain and is now concentrated with the Mexican national team for friendlies and qualifying duels in the coming days.

It will be this weekend when the player representative, Jorge Berlanga, meet with people from West Ham to know the intentions you have for the Aztec wheel, because after achieving promotion will be discussed with the helmsman of the team, Sam Allardyce, the return Barrera.

"We will meet at the weekend with West Ham. They've just been promoted to First Division, then the technician to date plans are to return to land because it depended on whether he could stay in Championship or climb the Premier, so now we took a run to assess the situation, the two and see.

"In principle he had and that we will appreciate it now that we meet, but for now everything is quiet, there's no need to speculate on Paul," he said by telephone.

Berlanga said the idea of ​​Paul Barrera is kept in the Spanish League or the Premier League, although the economic situation now live football Motherland cause the former Pumas player is nearer to stay in England than in find another computer.

"His priority has always been Spain and England, it excited the subject of West Ham, but it is calm, focused with the selection and waiting to see what happens. What he wants is to play and prove themselves, the situation in Spain is not easy and it looks to stay in England, "said the representative.

In addition, the selected Berlanga said that Mexico is again excited by the prospect of playing in the Premier League now that his team won promotion, for an additional year to adapt to European football, things could be different.

"Of course the Premier is one of the most important leagues in the world and of course you re excited to have that opportunity (playing in England), but will talk to the club, see what their plans are, Paul wants to stay in Europe, have continuity, but wait for the summer is very long this year, "he said.

Sounds basically like standard media responses and wanting to keep doors open:

Things were different then.
But now they have a new manager and are back in the Premier League, so we will have to see.
My focus is now on Mexico, so until I meet with West Ham, it is all speculation.
Of course I would like to play in the Premier League and prove myself, so we will see what happens.


I reckon he'll be given a pre-season by Sam.

Please tell me your not serious :lol:

He seemed too nervy in his first season here but if he settles he may become a half decent winger and show the form he does for mexico, see what happens pre-season

Whichever it was, it seems it found it hard going, to the point it almost gave up half way through...

Lost his place in a very average Zaragoza team. Didn't even make the bench by the end of the season.

Get rid asap.

After his performance in Spain, I do not think we will have much choice as there will hardly be a queue of clubs lining up to sign him.

May as well give him a few games and see how we go. The rest of the midfield is a bit stronger these days so we may be able to carry him a bit and let him have a free role.
