Corriere dello Sport took time to speak of Miguel Layún and a possible trade.
“Due to his characteristics, can also play in the attacking position and on the opposite end compared to his favored foot, exactly like Cerci, but (Cerci) clearly has more offensive characteristics,” wrote the paper.
“The last hypothesis, coming directly from Mexico is that of an exchange with Botta; the Argentine Inter loaned to Chievo has not had much luck. And being sent off in their match against Inter last December 15, he has certainly not improved the situation. The interest for Inter in Layun, however, developed primarily for his contract expiring in 2015. But at the prospect of seeing him leave for no cash, it would be in the interest of America to agree with the (Inter) leaders in Corso Vittorio Emanuele, bringing in exchange, if not compensation, at least a temporary technical counterpart, such as Botta.”
The highly versatile 26 year-old wing back has a Spanish passport which makes him an even more attractive prospect.

Author’s note: Be right back, I just got so excited I punched a baby endangered Himalayan Dancing Fire Dragon in the face, ate Kim Jong Un’s 1/365th birthday cake, escaped on my magic carpet, came back to the US, looked at a police officer, got arrested and beaten until death, came back to life, and am now facing life in prison for two counts of “Criminal Being Brown While Making Eye-Contact With An Officer,” but my lawyer is the guy that defends Berlusconi, so I’ll just submit a press release, claim I’m just Italian and not brown brown (like every ex-patriot Iranian ever), sort of apologize, get pardoned, get plastic surgery, and be back at my lake Cuomo villa just in time to leave the gun and take the canoli.
Not really, but that’s more interesting than what actually happened, aka sort of nodding my head while reading that^ news. But at least you know how excited I would be about such a deal right?
Are you err…excited as well about this report?
he’s from veracruz, mexico… i’m from veracruz, mexico too… i know him since he started to play for tiburones rojos here in veracruz.
To the author (Mahdi):
No. He’s not a great player… he sucks… BIG TIME. Do you know he joined Atalanta a few years ago and didn’t played a single game??? that’s how bad he is… after that he joined Club America.
He’s so bad that he even has his own hastag on twitter #todoesculpadelayun (it means ‘‘it‘s all layun‘s fault‘‘) he is the joke of every team he joins.
And he’s not marketable either… at least not in Mexico (nobody here likes him) and even less in America or the world.
You want a good mexican? go for Guardado (left back/winger), JJ Herrera (offensive midfielder), Vela (left winger/second striker), Ochoa (gk) or Moreno (central defense) those are great players and more valuable.
what about marco fabian?
He is good but has not played well since a year ago… Just returned to the team that started it all for him (Chivas).
When he play at his full potential he is like kovacic just to give you an idea (taking into account that i’m no professional scout and i don’t know Fabián as well as Layun because the latter played in my local team)
I hope Ausilio read your comment bro. 😀
me too 😀
Hahaha, I may be judging on his performances with Mexico. Hey I’d prefer any of those players, especially Guardado and Herrera, but our issue is that we have no chance getting them. 😛
Hmm acording to Youtube (who can make my grandmother look like Messi!) he seems like a fast, tecnically strong, right-footed winger who could be useful next to the left-footed Poldi up front!

He looks good…but don’t forget before joint inter botta looks like messi at Argentine ligue
Well, this is mostly from the Wold Cup not only from the Mexican League!
Hehehe – love readying your posts man! You must really try some de-caff someday 😉
About this player I don’t know the 1. thing but if he covers left back he could some in use, compared to useless Naga and still-learning Dodo 🙂
Haha I appreciate it mate…I wrote this at 4am without any caffeine lol. I hate de-caff, unless I am drinking tea before bed haha. Layun can definitely play as left back, thing is, he can play basically everywhere.
What do you make of this peace of news; Liverpool looking at Bardi??
Maybe we could loan him in loan-exchange for Balo??

Hmmm, I want Bardi to get playing time, and behind Mignolet, I can’t see that happening. Would definitely be interesting to watch unfold though.
Yeah don’t ever think he will join Liverpool in order to knock up Mignolet – that isn’t gonna happen… but we seem to be in a good dealing position at the moment with Liverpool liking both Guarin and Bardi.
Naga is WAY better than Layun
This dude seems like a winger not a full-back like Naga so…
started playing as fullback… can also play as right or left mid or as you said winger
Well now… now I know migo’s aren’t the only brown people out there lol
Hahahaha solidarity brother.
i will give him a chance if we get him.
Memo Lara (Layun’s agent) is that you???
Exchange him with our super star winger Jonathan…both of their contract will be expired at June 2015,right?botta still has potential for us at least his value 5 m 😀
Could someone please describe how good or bad he is.. Because I have never heard of this player..
bad… he’s a mexican schelotto
joined atalanta a few seasons ago… not played a single game
that bad
Thanks for clearing that up. I was hoping that inter scouts got it right but then again our scouts have their stupid moments!!
