... no, we don't want Zavaleta back I swear I'm faster than that guy.

 

Thanks for the link. Not looking likely, but would be fun if it happened...

 

No idea what amount of money he was making in Brasil, but I'm sure he won't be playing for peanuts in Atlanta

 

Good news. Zavaleta was just loaned out to Chivas USA for the season.

 

Lucky for you guys its not Last year Chivas USA. lol

 

According to Freddy : NOT TRUE

Freddy Adu ✔ @freddyadu
I am currently Not speaking to any NASL teams. I don't know how that rumor got started but these rumors are not true. Thank you.

Silverbacks bring in another defender and two more midfielders, including the nephew of Emmanuel Adebayor:

Eric Hassli's gone from FC Dallas, probably won't happen but would love to see him in the NASL (or back in Vancouver but thats not gonna happen either).

He has a ranch in the Dallas area apparently, come on Scorpions, pry open your wallet and bring Hassli in!

 

You Canoodians can 'ave 'em back ... 'aye

We've got our big target man .... and he's better:

 

Casey Townsend to Tampa Bay

Edmonton signs Horace James, formerly of Atlanta. Good pacy option off the bench.

Ft. Lauderdale brings in RB Matt Hall and Chris Nurse. That signing of Nurse is especially nice.

Nurse.... would have loved him in Indi but whatevs. Good reporting guys!

 

Bigger news, Scorpions have agreed to terms and are in process of finalizing deals with a pair of MLS veterans to bolster their squad.

I didn't know about the Vanney connection. Interesting.

The signing definitely looks to be a coup, and you'd have to think that a Spencer/Mendes strike pairing has a lot of potential.

 

I know! It already saved me a few minutes of precious time.

 

Tampa Bay signs GK Cody Mizell

Scorpions sign former MLS DP forward Hassli

http://www.soccerbyives.net/2014/03/scorpions-forward-hassli.html

“Hassli is a landmark signing for our club,” said head coach Alen Marcina. “Hassli has been a Designated Player in MLS, has playing experience in French and Swiss top leagues in addition to Champions League. This is one more step to position ourselves to achieve our objective of competing for a NASL championship.”
