El Zorro set to ride into town

It may not be getting the publicity that a certain other arrival* may be receiving, but our very own big recruit will be arriving in Melbourne today. That being Carlos Hernandez, who after some visa problems will finally touch down in Australia to join our very own A-League champions, Melbourne Victory. After all the talk it will be great to see him finally on our shores and we hope that he will be able to fulfill our high expectations. Apparently it is unlikely that he will play a role in the pre season tournament as he will be given some time to settle into life here in Melbourne and get up to full fitness. Here's hoping that he gets a warm welcome from Victory fans at the airport that gives him some idea of the support that this team has in this town.

*If you hadn't worked it out - that other arrival is David Beckham arriving in Los Angeles to join the LA Galaxy, but I'm sure you would have known that already.
