According to this article, el Tecla Farias is on his way out of River and heading to Mexico, where he'll play for Pekerman at Toluca. Also, el Pipita Higuain's older brother, Fede Higuain, is back at River after his loan period with Nueva Chicago ended. Passarella is not totally sure he wants to keep Fede, however, and is shopping him to other clubs. Regardless, Fede will go on River's tour of South Korea and said he "hopes to play while on the tour and stay with" the club he's been at since he was 9.
Fede Higuain is currently one of the more controversial figures at River for the moment, because he was shown celebrating wildly after scoring against Los Millonarios in the penultimate game of last season, despite his registration being owned by the Nunez-based club. As can be seen here (scroll down a bit), some fans were far from pleased with that gesture, and even less humored by images showing Fede crying when River were awarded a late, controversial penalty that wound up being the equalizer and consigned Chicago to the promotion-playoff spots.
I think that calling him a "traitor and crybaby" is totally unfair and downright foolish. Fede had just scored what was at the time the goal that was keeping Nueva Chicago in the Primera and he was excited. I am sure he did not mean any offense, he was simply excited. Additionally, Nueva Chicago wanted him where Passarella didn't.
In the Clausura 2007, the River player who scored most goals was Fede Higuain, playing on loan at Chicago. Anybody who watched River play last season knows that they need somebody to consistently put the ball in the back of the net. Let's give Fede a chance.
