Look he has an incredible goal scoring career. And he's not one of the great's in the world.
But to Boca fan's like myself he is a idol.

2004– Boca Juniors 110 (64)
And when he was there 97-00 he was a beast. I mean that goalscoring record is a goal 9 out of 10 matches.
And now he is still the experienced striker that Boca needs along the pace of Palacio. And he still scores around 3 out of 5 matches.
Sure maybe he misses penalty's, but last season he scored from midfield.

Look there.
He also has 4 hat-tricks and 2 matches in which he scored 4 goals.
I think in his defense he is a player of great skill. Who will never be one of the greats internationally, but in our local hearts he will be a mastermind.
