On trial with the Union. Ronaldo Damus, 17yr old Haitian striker. https://www.mlssoccer.com/transactions/2017/summer-transfer-window-tracker/philadelphia-union
Did he play during the 2015 Gold Cup? Can't seem to remember, but I thought Haiti did decently against the US, although that wasn't saying much at the time.
Confirmed. That's Danny Barbir, grew up in Allentown and trained with Union before going to Europe.— Kevin Kinkead (@Kevin_Kinkead) June 8, 2017
Young Center Back... local to Lehigh Valley.... makes sense as a Bethlehem pickup to develop. (assuming he's cheap)
Would be a nice pick up although he's clearly a long term prospect and he'd enter into what is already a log jam of long term prospects at CB (Yaro, Trusty, McKenzie, etc.).
Weren't the Union unable to sign HGP's for a few years due to punishments levied by the league for Ling Pitor's transgressions? That and the fact that didn't have any viable pro prospects that actually wanted to sign with them........
I don't think that was the story with Barbir though. I don't think they ever made an effort to bring him on anyway.
Yeah the lack of effort towards Steffen was odd since they had a relationship with him. They never really had a connection with Barbir.
Plus Nick Sak's goalkeeper Fetish............ you'd think that would have been a no brainer at the time............
Elias Aguilar - 25 year old Costa Rican international AM/LM who plays with CS Herediano - on trial for a week with the Union. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elías_Aguilar http://us.soccerway.com/players/elias-fernando-aguilar-vargas/319705/ https://www.transfermarkt.com/elias-aguilar/profil/spieler/211491
The first 20 seconds of slow jog as he's subbed off...you had me at hello. About two minutes in he makes a great move and lets the ball roll out. That's a highlight. Like Ilsinho and Andrew Wenger had a baby. . As Richie Ashburn used to say when a fan speared a lined foul, GET THAT MAN A CONTRACT!!!!
So we put in an offer for this guy? By the way, whatever happened to Chris Pontius and Charlie Davies? Do they still play for us?
