New Players
By: Alan | June 24th, 2008
Oh that’s right, from time to time teams also buy players. Well apparently Atlas just realized this and has added striker Gonzalo Vargas. He was officially presented to the club yesterday and comes from FC Sochaux. The Uruguayan with the nickname of “El Turbo” will be looking to replace Marioni as leading striker, and hopefully goal getter.
The Atlas wikipedia page also reports that midfielder Ramon Nuñez has been added but I have not found any news of it on the Atlas official site. I’ll keep an eye out. Confirmed
Also the team has also reported that currently their priority is signing another forward or a midfielder. This is no surprise since they let go both el negro Medina (midfielder) and Marioni (forward). What this means is that coach Brindisi will probably use the same lineup as last year when he had his superstars. This might prove to be a challenge to newcomer Vargas, since Marioni was usually isolated in the forward position.
I’m happy that finally Atlas was able to solve their economic issues and add some new blood to the team. I don’t know if Vargas will be the replacement Marioni or not but he seems to be enthusiastic and having good team workouts.
Atlas is also looking for a new captain to replace Medina, and so far half the team has added their name to the hopeful list.
