This guy is certainly better than many of the low-energy keepers in MLS. Any luck getting him a trial?
Played 9 minutes in a DCU reserve match against PDL Club - I wasn't impressed with his play. Perhaps, I have the wrong player given that DCU has his name as "Fabian Irioyen". However, the agent who told me his name told me that he was a US citizen (or could easily get papers) and that he plays in Uruguay. 9 minutes isn't a lot of time, but he has "fat hips" - his passing wasn't sharp. I don't blame DCU from taking a look, especially given their injury problems, but I don't think he's near MLS quality.
I'm who took him to the US, probably with the agent you talked to. Are you sure he only played 9 minutes... I was told it was about a half hour. On his last game in Uruguay he almost had a pulled hamstring and that was still hurting when he tried out. We'll see what happens. He is still young.
Excuse me, they're called "child-bearing hips" and in some cultures they're considered an asset. Show some sensitivity, gosh. That said, there are limits.
This report says he came on as a sub in the 81st minute. http://www.dcunited.com/blog/2010/05/khumalo-lifts-reserves-over-northern-virginia-royals
He just played those 9 minutes. I talked to Fabian and he was in pain on one of his hamstrings from his last match a week before the trial. He wasn't even able to run properly without thinking he could pull it. I heard the trial was bad but if Fabian was that bad I wouldn't consider sending him. I believe he has potential but needs to be fully fit and with a little more professional experience. I'm not too worried about this trial although the image he left at DC wasn't as good. Anyway, I would never judge a player based on 9 minutes of play.
According to C. A. Fenix's website he is still at the club. C. A. Fenix are playing in the Copa Suamericana.
With Club Oriental de Futbol in La Paz, Uruguay, 4 goals in 10 games last season: http://www.footballdatabase.eu/football.joueurs.carlos-fabian.irigoyen.81091.en.html http://www.footballdatabase.eu/football.club.oriental-la-paz..9499..en.html It would seem the Orientals are in the 2B Amateur league.
