José Francisco Cevallos, Jr. (2 Viewers)

[Salvatore]

Player thread? The player himself said he's signed the contract and will be in Turin after the competition.

Why did you keep talking about him learning from Pirlo?

I won't admit to having seen this guy play, but the title has a different position...

Ecuador times reports the fee as...
'The payment will be $ 1.9 million in May and the rest ($ 2.3) in December'

Which seems more appropriate for a hugely talented latin wonderkid...

I assume its a deal now well and truly closed, if his father, the Minister for Sport is confirming it in public.

We get him now or summer?

 

[Mark]

now and play for Primavera.

Does that mean in January, or?

Well, the Sudamericana ends at the beginning of next month, so he should be in Italy sometime in the first week of February.

I just found interesting that whoever wrote the article felt the need to say he'll be part of the first team and that "under no circumstance will be loaned to a third club. Meh, maybe it's just what's written in the contract. But it can only mean this kid have to be good, really good.

Honestly, i've never seen him play but funnily enough i have a vague memory of watching his dad play for the Ecuadorian team in the early 90's.

I thought he asked about this guy's dad?

Come on, Those videos were filmed with toasters and potato cams I doubt Juve scouts would waste 6 months on a player if they thought he wasn't worth it. But who knows, let's him in action.

I was being sarcastic mate, however from the game I watched last night he was sitting just infront of the defense.

Maybe you remember him from the 2002 World Cup. His nickname was "the hands of Ecuador" for helping us reach our first World Cup. He was also the GK when LDU won Copa Libertadores in 2008.

yeah the bio talks about how he is the son of a former goalkeeper

If you say so, but as i said he's not exactly blown me away, nothing extraordinary i doubt very much he will be one of the greatest at our club, may become decent for a south american team.

Hmm...i don't know i have the impression i know him from a Copa America in the 90's, maybe 95 or 97. But now that you've mentioned, yeah, the 2008 Libertadores i remember that.

Oh i apologize then, didn't read the bio.

To be honest, I am actually surprised that Juve signed him. Not even in Ecuador he is well know besides the fact he is the son of Cevallos. I do know he went through the youth ranks in LDU pretty fast and found a place in the first team. He started to get some attention this year with some good displays in the national tournament.

I have never seem him play but I am more concerned about his attitude than in his technical abilities. We, Latinos, are not precisely the most disciplined people in the world and sometimes players come from humble origins With a big move to Europe it's easy to get lost in the fame and the money. I don't know if you remember Jaime Ivan Kaviedes that played for Perugia. The guy had incredible talent but got lost in drugs, sports cars and women. This could happen with Panchito Cevallos but his dad was a real pro and I hope he did a good job in teaching those values to him.

Nevertheless, I am pretty excited with his signing because I am a huge fan of Juve and I am from Ecuador. Forza Pepe Pancho!

 

[Hydde]

who is this guy and is he good?

 

[Cronios]

Yet another CM/SS, hmm are we considering a 2-7-1 system for the future?

O well, Marotta will loan him with an option to buy anyway...
