I would love to see him start firing rockets into the roof of the net like in that YouTube clip. He looks like he is really enjoying his football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro and his staff were at Santos Laguna when Peña was tearing the league apart, so they saw him at his peak first hand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However for folk to state he is 'pish' is disingenuous as no-one has a clue why he can look so good and poor at (almost) the same time. Yes, i'm not making excuses for him, but he has played in México his whole career, and scottish football is different to anything we have seen before, so he have to adapt to that roughness, the cold/rainy weather, he is from a very hot/sunny part of México (Tampico Madero) a beach in the gulf of México where the weather is always around 34-40 Celsius. All those thinks have to be considered to make a judgement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait until he plays at Arbroath in Jan in the Scottish if we get them, it will be like a scene from Cool runnings trying to get him off the bus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

trueblueal 2,117 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 So no punishment for Pena, I am not surprised. This is never an elbow with violent intent. He tries to free himself from the Hamilton player grabbing his arm. It's not an elbow smash, it's not a red card and it's not violent conduct. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigo 32,526 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 So Pena has been cleared. Personally, I find that bizarre. Good news, but bizarre.  No idea how compliance guy operates, but seems to employ the advice of the Magic 8 Ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeparateEntityMyArse 53,715 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 It was certainly a yellow, I'd say a red. Surprised it was reviewed by Compliance Officer and he got away with it. What I would say is that perhaps this is further evidence of the authorities letting things pass as ok rather than micro assessing and looking to punish as a default. Brown, Stokes, now Pena. Bit of a shift change from the no contact route we've been headed down. But a welcome one if that is the strategy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gj923 1,457 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Just read an article on ex man utd starlet away for a years loan in Mexico. One of the players interviewed said that the Mexican league is not as technical as the EPL but the players can run and run. Doesn't seem the case with Pena yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cushynumber 25,178 Posted October 13, 2017 Author Share Posted October 13, 2017 right, Ive been kind of championing this guy as i think the stuff is there - but he needs to start delivering. Wee snatches so far, but i think away from home with a little more freedom on the ball and space to work in could help him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than the wine grapes his starts all seem away from home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have slight hope for him however. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
