    Gustavo Adrian Ramos is a Colombian striker who currently plays for América de Cali.

    He played on the Colombian Sub 17 in 2003 World Cup and ended up being one of the golden boot award winners by scoring 5 goals which helped Colombia finish 3rd.

    After a disappointing loan to Santa Fe, Adrian returned to America and is one of the biggest reason for them getting to the final with many asking for him to get a NT call up. He finally received a Call up and started for Colombian on August 20 friendly against Ecuador in New Jersey.

    everyone likes what they see regarding potential signings on youtube.com, that's why it's called youtube.com and not 911truth.org

    Fat Boy my friend, I've never heard of him. Remember this as a general rule though: Colombians don't make good strikers, they do make very good defenders.

    This happens because the Colombian league (decent overall) is all about counterattacking, parking the bus and wait for the opponent's mistake. This change in their football philosophy has created a dearth of classy forwards in their game.

    Historically they weren't much to write home about although Asprilla and "Tren" Valencia (although he failed at Bayern Munich) were decent strikers. They apparently had a very good striker back in the 70's, his name I don't remember at the moment. He is from Tumaco I think.

    Just remember, Colombian defenders YES!, forwards NO! Overall speaking of course. You're welcome Fat Boy! Biggrin <Ale>
