Rumor: Venezuelan forward (Renteria) to Crew?

Re: Venezuelan forward to Crew?

Two Argentinians, two Venezuelans...do we sign nationalities in twos now?

 

Re: Venezuelan forward to Crew?

what a shot!, so this website is confirming that he already signed with the crew? i didnt even hear any news of him being here

 

Re: Venezuelan forward to Crew?

Someone tell him he has to pick a different number. 7 is already taken and will never be worn again after the current holder.

 

Re: Venezuelan forward to Crew?

Easy nickname to work with as far a tifo goes:



Seems like he's a power guy as opposed to a speed guy. Good. We need someone that can strike fear in a keeper from 25 yards out. Right now, I see this as depth for CCL, but maybe next year he'll compete for starting minutes. Give him a few months to adjust to the MLS game and then we'll see what he have here. Only thing I don't like is that we'll probably lose both him and Ale when the Fighting Hugo's play a match.

 

Re: Venezuelan forward to Crew?

I saw that a little earlier on mls-rumors but I never have put much stock in that site. The guy looks like a beast and is still young. The only question I have is why another forward when we seem to be pretty well stocked at that position.

 

Re: Venezuelan forward to Crew?

We've got Champions League coming up. We'll need all the help we can get to keep guys fresh.

 

Re: Venezuelan forward to Crew?

Venezuelan Es Futbol is one of their top sites and it's reporting he is in Havana, Cuba with Caracas FC in preseason training and will be joining the Crew right away.

Very nice signing, more like it. Young, talented, Copa Libradores experience sure helps us in Concacaf Champions League. Very nice timing. Good age as well.

I would not be surprised if they played a Moreno and Renteria line during Champions League weeks for Champions League games and then during those weeks a Garey and Lenhart line for league games. Why not? Garey and Lenhart have proved they are not much, if any, of a drop off.

I also think this confirms, if he does sign with us, that Warzycha will be going with two natural strikers by dropping one defender somewhere.

Also, I put some of them through translators on here. Since there are like 8 to 10 websites saying this I would not be surprised if this had some weight to it.

Glad Jatta and Kimoto fell through. This is far more like it.

The club should start a Crew TV, like Arsenal or something. May get some interest from Venezuela and Argentina now, lol.

Anyways, if Ekpo can get focused and get some stamina(his last 30 minutes the other night was brillant) we are in a real good place folks, with Moffat back too. I think we have a real chance in Champions League.

Also, seems he will warm up to the Nordecke, lol. Caracas FC seems to have some good support.

 

Re: Venezuelan forward to Crew?

Well, I like the player if we have indeed signed him.

But I think forward is one spot where we do have adequate depth. However, if you take Guille out of the equation, then we are down to three, but they are a solid three.

I'd say lets use the other roster spot to bolster the wings.

I also think playing 3-5-2 is an interesting option, with two CM's behind Guille and 2 forwards up top. DC has been pretty successful playing that way, and to a lesser extent, New England.
However, it clips Frankie's wings a bit, and its really hard for me to justify sitting Danny O'Rourke right now (or Brunner) as they seem the most likely to be benched.

 

Re: Venezuelan forward to Crew?

I love how the spanish papers and sites always Translate "Crew" like gangsters and thugs and not like work crew.

 

Re: Venezuelan forward to Crew?

Fighting Hugos. Love it.

Sorry I can''t rep you again, Mike.

 

Re: Venezuelan forward to Crew?

this is starting to look like a legitimate signing, im excited especially now that our champions league chances look better with a deeper lineup

 

Re: Venezuelan forward to Crew?

A weekly fan-produced version is in the works. It's still in the very early planning stages but we hope to be able to roll it out for the 2010 season opener. Still lots of things that could derail it, so I don't want to give too many details out right now. Look for an announcement in 60-90 days.

 

Re: Venezuelan forward to Crew?

Cool, good luck. Is the club running it or a group? Just wondering.

Hopefully not ONN.

I also hope to do something similiar, not as elaborate. But, just buy a nice video camera and make game day videos and maybe get a press pass next year as well and do some interviews. But, that all depends on if I can go to games weekly next year. I'm moving back home to PA on Friday. Could have stayed here if I found a real job, only option is back home so far. But, I still plan to put applications in continuously in Columbus through Monster and etc. Only been unemployed for 20 days, but lease runs up end of the month.

All depends on whether my best job lead now gives me Saturday's off on the schedule.

 

Re: Venezuelan forward to Crew?

Ha. No, definately not ONN. My hope is that with a completely fan-produced product we can embarrass ONN into doing a better with their coverage. Again, I don't want to get too much into it here. But I think that if we're able to pull this off, the masses will be please.

 

Re: Venezuelan forward to Crew?

Yeah, ONN's video quality is embarrassing and they could probably replace Beau Bishop with any fan.

But, yeah not the place for it, back to the new striker talk.

 

Re: Venezuelan forward to Crew?

The man with the 411, Mitchell, channels his inner Lee Corso...

Not so fast, my friend

Well, that was fun while it lasted. We can now toss him in with Magic Z from Celtic, that kid that Colorado just cut who scored all those goals in that game last year, and that midfielder from Guatemala we've "signed" three or four different times.

Re: Venezuelan forward to Crew?

Moreno was selling the Crew to Renteria while on national team duty, and was probably video taping some footage for Bliss, you know, to keep down the scouting/travel expenses due to HSG's recession cutbacks.

 

Re: Venezuelan forward to Crew?

You want to see him in a trial. Check out his videos. This isn't Kimoto or Jatta. This guy actually could help.

But, hey whatever, glad the only true rumors were the Jatta and Kimoto ones. As I'm just comforted that that's the best we can get with our $250,000.

Maciej Zurawski and Guillermo Barros Schelotto didn't need a trial. Just looking at the guy in the video I would doubt he would turn into a total dud. But, whatever.
