Trial at Hodd:

Fredag kjem Kyle Veris for å vise seg fram i Hødd. Midtstopparen kjem frå LA Galaxy, klubben som er mest kjent for å ha David Beckham i stallen. Veris har spelt 18 ligakampar for LA Galaxy dei siste to sesongane, og hadde nok hatt fleire kampar i beltet hadde det ikkje vore for ei kneskade. 24-åringen skal vere i Ulsteinvik i ei veke.

Paolo Dos Santos has been at this club recently but is MIA.

Wondering where he was going to end up

He is a big defender so I figured someone would go for him

[sidefootsitter]

I had to look up that Hodd was in the same league as Haugesund.

The article refers to him as a central defender.

Hey, he is 6'3".

He showed flashes of potential so I'm surprised no one in MLS was willing to give him a decent salary offer to keep him here. I mean, the Galaxy opted to keep Julian Valentin over him. That just doesn't make sense.

B-but, but everything the Galaxy does makes sense. Lalas has a master plan.

Hødd is a fun team they have been going up and down between the second and third divison the last couple of years.
I gt some fammily in the area so i have been to some games and allways kinda liked them.
They managed to beat out Rosenborg from the norwegian cup a few years ago so that was fun...well at least for my relatives who could bug me about it and kinda still do

Ullsteinvik is a tiny place so i think Veris is going to be a bit shocked about 6000 inhabetants. and if i remember correctly that is also the capacity of the stadium.

As for posison in the country Ullstein is close to Ålesund.

He was waived before Valentin was even drafted. The problem is that he was on the dev roster for the last couple of years and he may be getting old enough that he would require a senior roster spot now.

Physically he looks impressive, but he's never really performed that well when he's had the chance. And this on a Galaxy team that was weak on defenders.

Veris: Rhymes with "hopeless".

Can anyone translate this?

Nye spillere på vei inn?
Allerede denne uka kan det skje noe på denne fronten, tror Fladmark.

- Vi har to spillere på prøvespill nå. Kyle Veris er en amerikansk midtstopper på 24 år som har vært med oss i fire dager nå og som blir her ut denne uka. Han har gitt et godt inntrykk, og vi vil ta en avgjørelse i forhold til om vi vil gi han kontrakt i løpet av helga.

More here but I don't know if it's about Kyle:

There is another report on Norwegian Google News that mentions him but I can't get the link to work for some reason.

This is not a word for word translation but covers te main points in the article.

The article is an intwervie with the Hødd manager, He says that he thinks it`s going to be hard For Hødd to stay in the league after getting promoted last year. But then considering that Hødd is from a tiny village with just 7000 inhabatants and without any rich investors it`s impressive that they have even managed to make it to the second divison.

One of the main conserns he thinks is the very smal squad just 18 players 3 of them keepers. BUt hopefully that will change soon since the moment have 2 players on trial.
Kyle Veris a former MLS central defender and a young norwegian talent.
About Veris he says that so far he has given a posetiv impression and that the managment will decied wether or not ot sign him with in the week.

Then there is a bit about preseason preparations, the manager is generaly happy with the qualite of the tranings session, but he woude have liked to have more time with the team. This unfortuatly is not possibel since most of the players are only semi proffesional and have to work during the day.
