Irish Uruguayans

[edit]

Credited as Irish Uruguayan where is the source for this statement? Harder2204 11:33, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is he clasified as an Irish Uruguayan by his name Forlan,that sounds like Folan? Ario_ManUtd 23:54, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Forlan is of Iberian heritage, mainly Northern Spain. —Preceding unsigned comment added by London Hawk (talkcontribs) 22:24, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Forlan is an Italian surname (it means "inhabitant of Friuli") which is really common in North-East Italy, especially in Veneto. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.67.178.246 (talk) 10:00, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sister's car crash

[edit]

How did his sister's car crash make hime decide to concentrate on football rather than tennis? This is not well explained.

You would have to ask Diego. All we know is that after his sister had a car crash, he decided not to play tennis any more. Can't really say any more than that. – PeeJay 08:50, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Juan Carlos Corazo

[edit]

Is his maternal grandfather? Matthew_hk tc 02:51, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Atlético Madrid

[edit]

This section contains several points that require clarification:

1) "Forlán was linked to transfer with Juan Román Riquelme to Atlético Madrid in exchange for Luis Perea and money in June 2007."

What's this money exchange? There must be a better way to state this. Is there an amount that can be cited?

2) "On 30 June 2007, following the departure of their captain Fernando Torres to Liverpool, Atlético Madrid confirmed that they had agreed a fee of around €21 million.[2]"

A fee for whom? Forlán? Or for him and Riquelme? The mention of Fernando Torres prior to the sum of money confuses things. I tried to receive clarification from the reference article cited, but the link has since expired.

3) "He returned to England in February 2008 to take part in Atlético's UEFA Cup clash against Bolton Wanderers (the club against whom he made his Manchester United debut)..."

Since the "He" being mentioned is (clearly?) Forlán, you should re-state his name, as the subject of the previous sentence was Torres.

4) "...but the side lost out 1–0 on aggregate."

Which side? While some things may be obvious to fans, there should still be clear lines between actions and those committing them.

"He Got Caught giving oral sex to one of his team mates in 2004." Is this for real? 200.122.143.129 (talk) 15:13, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong Jersey Number

[edit]

His number for Atletico is 7, not 27. The article says 27 because some idiot changed his team to Besiktas with the number 27, and no one changed the number back to 7 since then. 175.138.254.232 (talk) 13:51, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism

[edit]

The article starts off "Diego Forlán Corazzo has assisted Strikez with a hatrick in the 2010 World Cup.(Spanish pronunciation: [ˈdjeɣo foɾˈlan]; born 19 May 1979 in Montevideo) is..." This obviously contains vandalism and needs to be changed. 175.138.254.232 (talk) 14:00, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

He will sign for Beşiktaş JK Istanbul

[edit]

Böri (talk) 10:49, 16 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Have you got a reliable source for that? Favonian (talk) 10:54, 16 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It's over now... Forlan said: "I want to stay at Madrid." Böri (talk) 08:09, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request from Carloalcaraz, 12 July 2011

[edit]

The following statement broke Wikipedia rules (i.e. unconfirmed information cannot appear in the biography of living persons):

"It was speculated that that Forlan had been cheating on her with another man."

Therfore, I suggest to delete this statement from Diego Forlan biography. Thankyou


Carloalcaraz (talk) 03:22, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Done Removed the sentence as un-needed even though sourced. Jnorton7558 (talk) 05:00, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Style of play?

[edit]

Does anyone feel qualified to write a paragraph or two on how Diego Forlan plays? Vranak (talk) 19:48, 16 June 2012 (UTC) and now forlan plays to paok fc — Preceding unsigned comment added by Deni tafa (talkcontribs) 11:09, 28 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Osaka

[edit]

Forlan signed for Cerezo osaka until December 2014. [1] [2] [3]. 72.137.51.40 (talk) 19:47, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

HE didnt scored an official Goal for Cerezo. He made to League Games for them. Every Day the Statistics are wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.253.10.135 (talk) 18:52, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
