Efrain Juárez to Celtic

Looks like Hinkel will be going then.

 

This is not official yet. This was reported yesterday too. I would rather wait until I see it on the Official Club Website. But if he has indeed agreed and signed then Im a happy puppy right now. Hope to see him in action over the next week or so

 

the mexican bhoy said he prefers to play midfield though, and that's what lenny sees him as (apparently)

 

Ye i think he will play CDM

 

welcome to glasgow celtic.

 

yes it was confirmed in sources such as the sun and the record, bbc wouldn't post it till its confirmed

 

Fair enough. Hopefully he'll be a good signing.

 

downloading mexico v england friendly and some of the mexico world cup matches so i can have a look

 

Extremely excited about this signing...really hope to see him against Man Utd tomorrow night

 

i really doubt he wont come now, we are the only club linked with him and there are around 50 articles in mexico aswell as bbc and sky sprts, so i think we've got him :icon_mrgreen:

 

What about Work Permit?
Cha Du-Ri isn't playing yet, neither.

I isn't sure about the rules in friendly games.

By the way,
Yeah baby yeah!

I really hope this is our future holdning midfielder for many years!

 

lenny said he hopes to have it sorted by friday

 

thats all greay news now just a centre back and a striker or too would i be greedy if i said i wanted whitingham too

 

Celtic have completed the signing of Mexico right-back Efrain Juarez from UNAM Pumas for an undisclosed fee subject to a medical and work permit. The 22-year-old made three appearances for Mexico during the World Cup finals.
He had returned to Pumas in 2008 after two years with Barcelona, where he played for the Spanish club's B team.
Juarez, who can play in central midfield or on the wing, helped Pumas to fourth place in La Primera Division before heading for South Africa.
Celtic manager Neil Lennon had said on Wednesday that he was confident of signing Juarez in time to make his Celtic debut against Manchester United while on their pre-season tour of North America on Friday.
"We are very close to signing him and hopefully over the next few days we'll have something on that," said Lennon.

I saw Juarez playing against England at Wembley before the World Cup and just kept an eye on him

"He might not come to Deebo, but hopefully he'll come to Toronto. We're not paying massive money for him."
Juarez, who has also been linked with moves to England and Spain, played three times for his country at the recent World Cup finals in South Africa, with the Mexicans reaching the last 16 stage of the competition.
"He's got great energy, is really comfortable on the ball and works really hard off the ball," added Lennon.
"He's a very fit lad and I think his style will suit us. He's a hardy little guy as well - he can put his foot in.
"I saw Juarez playing against England at Wembley before the World Cup and just kept an eye on him.
"I thought he looked decent there and in the World Cup and, when the opportunity came up, we watched him again and again and asked if he would fit in to what we wanted to do here.
"We all agreed that he would."
Lennon has already strengthened his squad with the captures of South Korea right-back Cha Du-Ri from Freiburg, former Cardiff midfielder Joe Ledley and ex-Aberdeen defender Charlie Mulgrew.
However, former captain Stephen McManus has left the club to join Middlesbrough and goalkeeper Artur Boruc has joined Fiorentina.

WOOHOOOOOO:icon_mrgreen:

sorry if this has already been posted.

mon the mexicans!!!!!!

 

so a guess we have a partnership with pumas now hope we can have a fan base in both city's would be great

 

cha is meeting up with the squad in toronto he didnt play yesterday due to he was still on his world cup break

 

Sounds good

 

I'm sure that Juarez has played enough International games to gain a work permit.
