What's the deal with Juarez?

Wouldn't be surprised if being banned from Mexico has killed his mood. He's always said that playing for Mexico is what he cares about most. He was also hoping that when then new coach was name, that he would no longer be banned but the ban stayed.

He also hangs out with Crosas a lot, and we know how he feels about playing.

 

(bump, think this needs further discussion)

i think unless he's a complete * he realizes that unless he performs here, hes not going to get a dream move to arsenal, maybe what people are suggesting him justr being homesick could be the answer, anyone got any more news?

 

Didnt notice this before i seen this gif shows a bit of a bad attitude imo

 

His mom lives with him, or visits very often from what I've heard.

 

It's not a case of attitude, homesicknesss, internal disputes or anything else for me at the moment, I just think on evidence to date, he's a pretty pish footballer.

 

thats odd

not a pish footballer, weve seen in the preseason how he can play, maybe a samaras type? brill one minute then * the next

 

The guy probably has no energy on gameday because he probably spends his time * women. If you see his twitter, most of the people he follows are women.

 

Give the guy time there has been a lot of times foreign players have come in played very well then tailed off. I think it is no coincedence that in Europe where the play is similar to international football he played very well but in the SPL is maybe struggling with the physical aspect of the game. I thought Ki would really struggle after his start but he has learned important aspects to his play and is I think one of our most important players at the moment.

 

Efrain Juarez: I wished Javier Hernandez luck against Rangers but I want to face him in Champions League next year - The Daily Record

EFRAIN JUAREZ last night backed the kid known as "Little Pea" to put a dent in Rangers' European dreams on Wednesday night.
Celtic's Mexican midfielder came through the international youth ranks with Javier Hernandez, Manchester United's Central American sensation.
He's hoping for another star showing at Ibrox from his fellow 22-year-old nicknamed Chicharito after seeing him get off the Euro mark with United's crucial winner in Valencia.
And ultimately his plan is to be going head to head with him in the Champions League next season for the Hoops.
Juarez said: "He is a good friend - I know him from our international youth teams. He is an amazing footballer and I just say to him: 'Good luck for this game against Rangers'.
"I haven't had a chance to go down to Manchester to see him yet because every week our clubs play at the same time but when I have a chance I will go.
"He is a good footballer and knows how to score goals. And he knows all about Rangers - there's nothing I can tell him he doesn't already know after he played them in the first game at Old Trafford.
"I would love to be playing against him, though. This is the main objective for the next year for Celtic.
"We are a big club and the big clubs need to play in the best competitions - and that is the Champions League.
"I'm not jealous of him, no way - he is a fellow Mexican!
"When I watch his games I am happy for him because I know howhard he trains.
"He is very professional and this is the result.
"He plays in one of the best teams in the world, scores goals and has become an important player in the team."
Juarez is also convinced that he and Hernandez can be flagbearers for a Mexican wave to hit these shores in the future.
He said: "It's important for him to do well, for himself and for his country. When one Mexican plays great other players at home notice it.
"All weekend at home you can see the games from all our guys playing in Europe, including me at Celtic.
"And maybe that will mean more Mexican players come here and to Europe."
Juarez's biggest difficulty with his homeland will be going back in the other direction.
The playmaker is two months into a six-month ban for his involvement in a party after a game with Colombia in September.
However he is hopeful a change of national boss could see him back in the fold sooner - despite the coach being the BROTHER of the man who banned him.
He said: "I haven't spoken to the federation but we have a new manager, Jose Manuel De La Torre.
"He's young, he's a winner and he will be good for our country. He is also the brother of the guy who banned me - but I think he is a professional and can separate family and work.
"It's delicate but I hope to play in the next FIFA game."


Well he is talking about next season with Celtic, who knows??? It's a mystery why he hasn't been playing so much.

 

I reckon a lot of people who have already written Juarez off will eat their words, if Juarez gets a run at right-back. I've watched him on more than one occasion and he's miles ahead of both Cha and Wilson.

There's definitely something going on that we don't know about, I think Juarez is a good footballer.

 

I think that wouldnt be a bad shout putting Juarez at RB. EJ has looked poor in midfield lately and if he can do a job better than Cha or Wilson - why not?

 

agree to that, he plays there for mexico so why not

 

everytime he has played in the league he has been * and ledley and ki are playing really well together.

 

I'd agree with putting him at right back for now. It might not be his favourite position but if it gets him into the team then why not. Think he still has a big future at Celtic.

 

It may be worth a try, on current form he is not getting into the team in midfield. This will become even more difficult as others return from injury. i know that he is supposed to have said that he doesn't want to play RB but if it is, play there or sit on the bench, maybe he would be otherwise minded.

 

In any case Lenny needs to decide who is RB is and do it quick.

3 months into the season we dont no if its Cha Or Wilson? *?

Play somebody and stick with them.

 

I wouldn't mind seeing Juarez playing a couple of games at right-back to see what he's like there. If he's good then keep him there, if he's pish then play Wilson.

 

Juarez has a good engine and he gets stuck in, that's why RB has been his position up to now. Technically he is not the best, kayal has better control and vision and will cement his place in the side when fit.

The other central midfield berth will be competed by 3 or 4 decent players, so juarez should be given a shot at RB, if he doesn't want to play there sell him..Simple.

 

Off in january

 

i agree we arent strong at right back and juarez would be a far better defensive option than cha or wilson
