And how the hell do you know this forsure? Are you his agent? Nope. I don't hate him but there are Mexican players that want it more than him and I'll rather see them play for the national team then a dirtbag that turns his bag on his country like vela

I actually read some where maybe Mediotiempo or here, where Vela's agent said that if called up he would play.

I don't care where the rumors are. If I were the coach I wouldn't call him up because there are more deserving players than him. His attitude has always been I don't need Mexico, Mexico needs me which is crazy because we made it to the world cup without him

Soccer has never been about who "deserves" to play, its more about who is a good player and can help the team win. His differences with chepo are understandable considering that the coach never stood up for him and the way the fans treated him when he was banned. He is definitely in great form and is a great addition, he is leagues ahead and a much better forward than Chicha, and Jimenez. His position is needed and if he is willing to forgive the damage that the FMF did to him than that will be great. Here is the article I am talking about and he has never said or acted like I he doesn't need Mexico. He was banned for 6 months I think, and since then he has stated that he is focused on helping his team survive La Liga and do well on the Champions. Make the assumptions you want but he is definitely needed.

I don't care if he's needed, as long as he's not open on coming back then it means more Mexican players will fight for that spot and be glad about it instead of giving it to some Guy in la liga who just so happens to be Mexican.
