Youstin Salas
Maybe not realistic if he gets here late Thursday though I guess. Glad immigration got his shark sorted quick.
Doubt he will be over his jet lag by then
That hairdo is something else! Hopefully his football is just as good!

Loooove it. His hairdo has more yellow in it than our last home games kit (couldn't help myself).
I'm pretty amped to see what he's like playing and see what he brings to the team.
I hope is English is a bit better than Sasse. That would help.
Last couple of games have shown we need the depth. Looking forward to seeing how he goes. Just hope he doesn't get red carded in his first game for a slip on the surface that makes contact..

"The interests from other overseas clubs were there (...) The longest travel I did before was to Qatar and it was good, a day and a half will be nothing (...) The main topic isn't about money because it is… pic.twitter.com/jGYAGeia7b
"The interest from the club was already there from about six months ago. For some reason it didn't happen at that time but now everything has aligned and so I thank God and the team and Saprissa.

"The last [long-haul travel] I did like that was to Qatar and it was all good. A day and a half – no big deal.
. . .
"Obviously I'm going to earn a bit more than here at Saprissa but it's not about money because it's just [a five month contract] and in five months you don't sort out your entire life unless you sign an extremely good contract, but it's a good opportunity for me to put myself out there and get people to know me and to [show what I can do]."

... no worse off than the Western United players, then...

Slightly further travel than Melbourne though right?
Hopefully!
Coming on at half-time, he's playing right back in the #14 shirt and is very much the bulldog Chief's described him as being in the 12mins I've seen so far. Commentary has mentioned a couple of times already that he's known for racking up the yellows.

Good thing he's coming in late in the season then :)
Unless they Duckworth Lewis is and the number of yellows you get before suspension is based on games played.

Unless it was his longtime ambition to get yellow braids, in which case it's a happy coincidence.
All hail the real MVP, @WgtnPhoenixFC goalkeeping coach Ruben Parker who translated Spanish to English during today’s first press conference with Youstin Salas. @rubenparkers 🙌🏽https://t.co/qqBgmbAai3

Expect him to get 60 mins next game if he pulls up alright 👍
Really looked quality.

If Rufer & Pennington are still out. I could see him starting ahead of Conchie.
