Josh Perez in Spain

Not really. A loan is/suggests "my club wants me, even if it's only to see whether I could turn out to have a future with them, or at their level - which means a transfer fee for them."

A trial is/means "my club doesn't see me as having a future at their level or the next one down, so they aren't even looking for a nominal transfer fee. It's vaya con dios for me."

 

i was referencing that he was already in d3....the bolded part of your quote.

he was already in serie c so dropping down a level wouldnt do much at this point.....

but i agree about loan/trial

 

FWIW, Travis Clark said that his guess would be that Josh would be back with LAFC in June.

 

I think that'd be pretty good at the moment right? I mean Bradley has been playing Brewer, Moutinho, and Blackmon as youngsters so why not?

 

much better than not playing in serie c

 

Yes, he needs to get out of Italy. He's fallen into a hole.

 

He isn’t playing on lafc either. But it’s a better training environment than serie c.

 

if he is definitely not going to play for lafc...then he shouldnt go there.

Think this means that he return to Fiorentina? Maybe one of our Italian speakers can fill us in?

That is actually a tweet in Portuguese but it says:

Fiorentina confirmed Gerson, brought Lafont and could have the return of Joshua Perez and still has proven values such as Gio Simeone and Fede Chiesa. (They also have Dusan Vlahovic, 00, Sérvio, who I don't know if they will utiliza) it isn't spoken of much but the bet on youth is interesting.

 

Let's admit it guys, it is time to place Josh Perez into the trash bin of Yanks-Abroad history.

 

Wow, I didn't know we could end players' careers for them. Sweet power.

 

Considering we've had so few Yanks in Italia; I think we shouldn't any bury young ones even if difficulty finding playing time in Serie C.

 

Let's bookmark this post and come back in June 2019 & 2020, shall we?

 

Looks like his time abroad is coming to an end:

I am hearing that former U.S. U-20 winger Josh Perez is signing for LAFC.

How did you know??

 

He'll be back in Europe someday.

 

There is still time. Jeez, he's been in Italy for a few years now and he's still only 20. Let's see if he gets PT with Bradley and what he's learned over there when he does.

 

Or for next week

 

Every time I've done that in this forum I've had a depressing experience.

 

He played 421 min in serie c and he’s moving to a better team. He isn’t gonna play.

 

I should know better. I'm usually more cynical. The odds are stacked incredibly high against these guys. Another one bites the dust.

 

Just out of curiosity, how did he bite the dust?

 

Get ready to eat crow.

 

He is leaving this forum.
