Official: Union Alumni, Where Are They Now?

Thought it might be useful to have all of these in one place, rather than cluttering up the roster thread. Looks like we will have at least six "homecomings" at PPL Park this year.

Active players (MLS)

• Alejandro Moreno (2010 expansion draft): Chivas USA
• Brian Perk (waived 7/30/2010): Los Angeles
• Shea Salinas (2010 expansion draft): Vancouver
• Chris Seitz (2010 re-entry draft): Dallas
• Shavar Thomas (traded 6/30/2010): Kansas City

Active players (non-MLS)

• David Myrie (released 3/30/2010): Limón, Costa Rica Primera Division

Active players (unattached)

• Fred Carreiro (2010 re-entry draft)
• Toni Ståhl (option declined 1/14/2011): On trial with IFK Norrkoping

Fred did not sign to New England and is exploring options in other countries.

Someone picked up Myrie?

He's the starting right back on the Costa Rican national team.. so of course he was always going to be able to link up with a team back in his home country.

Stahl is on trial with a club in Sweden. Can't recall which one.

IFK Norrkoping, don't worry i'll keep everyone posted on Toni

Oh please, like we're not all huge 'koping fans.

So, updated. There were rumors about Fred heading to Perth Glory of the A-League, but nothing concrete yet.

Nitpicking, but I think Fred prefers to use da Silva as his surname, at least going by what he has on his Twitter.

You mean Myrie's not in the Fortress of Solitude???



Superman that hoe...

looks like knighton is now part of this list.

J.T. Noone? Isn't he gone now?

http://www.philadelphiaunion.com/player/jt-noone

Not that I know of, haven't heard that he's gone, and he's still on the team's site.

Any news out there about him I may have missed?

J.T. Noone is still on the team. He was at training at YSC this past week.

Noone's option was picked up for the 2011 season.

Although not a rostered player with the Union, Tomer Chencinski who trained with the team following the conclusion of the 2010 USL-2 season in Harrisburg just signed with VPS of the Finnish league.

Here are the details and a brief Q&A with Tomer, (he mentions his time with the Union).

Updated to reflect Arrieta waiver.

Don't forget Knighton

Right; forgot that the first post hadn't been updated for Knighton yet.

Active players (MLS)

• Alejandro Moreno (2010 expansion draft): Chivas USA
• Brian Perk (waived 7/30/2010): Los Angeles

• Toni Ståhl (option declined 1/14/2011): On trial with IFK Norrkoping
• Cristian Arrieta (waived 2/8/2011)

So of the 25 players who appeared on the Union's roster last year, at least 10 of them will not start 2011 with the team.

The mayhem continues. Happy Valentine's Day, Chacho.
