I just read that, apparently, that could possibly change. But for right now he's only on loan. The transfer window closes in 10 days. From the looks of things, we might add a couple of our OCB players to the big roster. If we can't add a significant player, it doesn't matter much right now. I suspect the idea is to clear some money and a roster spot, send him to a place he might be more comfortable and get back his form, then deal with the long term questions in November/December.
http://www.orlandosentinel.com/spor...s-midfielder-darwin-ceren-20160803-story.html Very sad to see Ceren go. I loved his play. This new guy better be good. Other than the Kreis hire, I dont really like the direction this club is going in right now.
You are getting a star with MPG! We are all sad to see him go, but he wasn't getting play time. He's going to light it up for you guys.
I hope you are right. Ceren might have had a bad month or so, but hes been solid for us since day one. He is a great player.
Really excited about the MPG pickup. Will miss Ceren but we've needed a backup to Kaka for sometime and we have a glut of defensive mids. Ceren was obviously a top player for us but you have to trade a strong player to get value. We're getting an underused, very talented DP that should thrive in our offensive system, imo. Best part of the deal is his salary and DP status remains with the quakes for the rest of the year. Really astute business from the FO.
From watching MPS in his first two (shortened) outings so far, he definitely has an eye for a decent pass, as well as an ability to earn FK's. His early link-up play with Kaka in the final third is extremely promising and he definitely gives the team something different (and more dynamic) going forward. Now, we just need to see a full game of him, Kaka and Molino together to see if it can really light a fire under this team.
I'm still no so sure he's an every game starter. Seems to fit more as a game changer off the bench than someone that is a 90 minute guy. I don't think MPG has the strength or stamina to impact the game for a full 90 on a regular basis.
Posting from the UK rumours here that Cyle Larin maybe heading our way. Any rumours the same here? any opinions on him as a player?
He's a big forward who holds the ball decently and is more finisher than creator. One thing he demonstrates that I find to be unique is an ability to collect a pass and generate a powerful hit on frame with very little time or space to do so.
Thanks! Rumor here is that he is in talks with an English championship (2nd division) side over a $6.5m move. Has anyone here heard anything?
Hearing rumors all over the board. Some are convinced he will be gone in the winter transfer window. But his best friend since he was a little kid (Richie Laryea) has been loaned down to the lower division squad. He's done a good job down there and seems likely to be on the First Team next year. I've heard some rumors that Larin would like to play a professional season with him. Coach Jason Kreis also says that there is more room for him to grow before transferring to a bigger league. And Larin is still very young. Also, as it stands right now we have no one to replace him. At all. So, your guess is as good as ours. But I get the feeling that he will stay at least until the summer transfer season.
As far as a player, I can only add one thing to Fiji's spot on breakdown. For a guy with his size, he really moves around the field very well. He has surprising speed and agility, and he had improved tremendously over the last 18 months in this regard. If he gets the ball out in space on the wing he'll just stay there now and create more space and lately he's even hit some nice crosses into the box. He has more room to grow, but the IMO the kid has crazy talent.
Any chance we would just lend him to a Championship side for our off season Ala' Dempsey etc from years past. from Nov to Feb he could get 17 games and stay fit and pocket some cash.
