Your Weekly Pacheco Update

The Alfredo Pacheco signing is turning into this decades version of “What about Bob?”

Baby step to the contract. Baby step to the pen. Baby step put pen to paper. Baby step put pen down. Baby step talk about being a Red Bull and the honor it is to be representing your country in the United States league. Baby step thank local media.

Well. You get the idea.

This week? Pacheco has baby stepped his way on to an airplane, and is heading towards New York.

NEW DETAILS ABOUT THE LOAN DEAL

The article claims FAS President Reynaldo Valle affirmed the deal last week, and that Pacheco is anxious to get to New York and finalize it. But the elapsed time hasn’t been a complete waste; it looks like Red Bull have managed to make this a two year loan with an option to buy.

I guess the lesson was learned after Diego Jimenez took his one season loan and bounced.

“My agent completed the deal so that my contract is extended over two years,” said Pacheco to a local radio station.

This will come to the delight of Red Bull fans, who see the Pacheco signing as the most impactful of the Juan Carlos Osorio era. Look no further than our recent poll, which clearly illustrated this point, as Pacheco took nearly 40% of the vote in a field that included nearly all of Osorio’s recent signings.

He also highlighted some difficulties with the issuance of a work visa (told you so!) and some passport problems that should be cleared by this mornings flight. But that is par for the course in these transactions.

He is one step closer to becoming a Red Bull. Excited? Share your thoughts.
