Shame that he couldn't have gotten a few for us, but good for him.

Where does "Thiba" comes from? A nickname I assume, but I can't remember hearing it while he was here.

Yeah, he was the best DC foward who never scored a goal. :D


He was close though. I remember this one game against Columbus where he was on a break, some Cow defender literarly tore his jersey off, Thiago keeps going, but he misses. :p

Thiba in portuguese sounds somewhat similiar to Chiva in spanish, but this is a bit of a reach. More than likely it's just a nickname.

It's a nickname I believe, although I can't remember what it means.

It's definitely a shame that he's gone, because I feel like he would be a perfect forward for United coming off the bench.

With his performance so far(2 goals) he may have been a good option to start as well as coming off the bench.

I was really unhappy to lose him in the draft and not see him get more of a chance with United.

What was the order of the draft again from United's side?

Was Ezra taken before Thiba and then Nelsen was protected?

Thanks.

If United gets compensation for Nelsen, I guess it could work out decently. For the time being though, having Martins could be huge for this team.
