Pablo Ricchetti is the worst right back I’ve ever seen.

He played in Quilmes a few years ago and his level was extremely low.

Toja went to former European Cup champions Steaua Bucharest.

I’d love to see Burrito end up here in MLS, but I really can’t see him handling the coast-to-coast, 4 time zones travel that is required.

I’m wondering if the rumors of a few weeks back that had FC Dallas here in the US interested in Ortega might get revived. I’ve heard that Ortega wants to talk to his family before deciding one way or another about the UAE offer. America might be a nice second option, although they can’t offer him as much money as the Arabs are offering.

Dallas has Pablo Richetti and Dario Sala on the books (although they just sold Juan Toja, a former River player, to somewhere in Eastern Europe).

I agree, it is sad. In the last month of the season he showed he can still contribute on the pitch. But it’s more important he get himself sorted for his life after football, because those days are coming soon.

I think Ortega has so many problems to focus on football. It’s a pity, because he’s one of the most gifted players I’ve ever seen, but with such a disorganized personal life he can’t be a hundred percent on the pitch.

I wish he gets back to his best shape, so all af we can enjoy his great technique. Sadly, I think his best days are gone and now it’s time to concentrate on a problem that can be really harmfull for him and his family.

Best wishes for Ortega.

By the way, this site is great. I didn’t know there was an english blog about Argentine football. I’m from Argentina but I like to share our football with people from around the world and know their points of view.
