If you can find the right guys at the right price, take them wherever they come from. MLS is still a league about finding cheap talent, after all. It'll be interesting if he can unearth a Kacper Przybyłko type player...the type of guy that makes you entirely unimpressed with his resume, but ends up scoring 15 goals in a season.
No, he means Lord Beric from Game of Thrones. Since he has been killed at least five times and brought back to life, plus with the series having ended, Beric is unattached and could be acquired without a transfer fee. Yes, I believe it is Robert Beric. I agree, that would be a strange DP signing.
https://www.soyfutbol.com/ligas/Ray...quiere-llevarselo-a-la-MLS-20200107-0015.html SoyFutbol article from today (Google Translate) January 7, 20209: 40hs Rodolfo Pizarro's hours in the ranks of Rayados de Monterrey could be counted after the alleged interest of the Chicago Fire of the MLS leaked to take the talented Mexican midfielder to strengthen their ranks for the new season in the States United. According to the American press, the Chicago Fire would be willing to disburse between 8 and 12 million dollars to take Pizarro to the MLS. After Dulio Davino said that Pizarro would not go on sale to the Chivas Rayadas del Guadalajara and would only be negotiated for football in Europe, if an offer arrives, the rumor that the Chicago Fire wants him in its ranks has exploded this week. Unofficially it is handled that Rayados de Monterrey has two contract termination clauses for Pizarro; the first of 17 million dollars for teams of the Liga MX, while the second is 8 million dollars for teams of the old continent. If the transfer is completed, Pizarro would join Cuauhtémoc Blanco and Pavel Pardo in the list of Mexicans who have dressed the Chicago Fire red shirt. Pizarro is about to start his third tournament with the Rayados de Monterrey, a team with which he already added his first two titles in the past 2019 and with whom he has played 61 official matches, scoring 9 goals and giving 6 assists. (Bold is mine) I have no idea the quality of SoyFutbol as a source.
This team has 17 rostered players, 3 of whom have never played a professional game. And training camp starts in 1.5 weeks...
Yeah I thought his name leaked previously in that wave of players we were associated with. He’s an option for sure.
And that does not include Marcelo, who we wish had never played a professional game (at least not for the Fire).
Don't worry. I'm sure they will bring in a dozen or so guy from the Trialist family. None of which will be any good.
But Nelson claimed this is a world class operation where players want to play, our roster should be overflowing from the over abundance of interest. I feel so disillusioned...
While looking to claim my 2 freebie tix + exchange some games I'm not going to I viewed the remaining season tix for sale, doesn't seem to be a whole lot of inventory left, so I think they probably did well enough. Obviously I don't know, who know how many parts of some sections are not even up for ST sales, but it didn't look too grim, which is as positive as anything Chicago Fire related lately
Maybe our 2020 squad, and beyond, will be fitter and healthier. The club hired a "Director of Performance": Ben Donachie. Did the work at Bournemouth, as they moved from League One to Championship to the Premiership (sucks) in three years. Hope this is a solid move by the organization.
Another website in Mexico, TotalFutbol, saying that Monteray is going after Podolski, as we go for Pizzaro.
$100,000 of funny money to buy talent? That's cool. I just hope the brain trust grasp the foreign player limits. (In particular, see last years squad at seasons opening.)
