News: MLS 2016 Season (other teams)

My favorite pejorative for Arnaud was always little pissant. He was one of those guys who always seemed to get the better of the Revs. Kudos to him on a very respectable career.

 

He was one of those guys who I always wanted the Revs to acquire. Very blue collar workman like approach to the game.

 

That's a big blow for DCU IMO.

I used to respect him intensely until he broke Sene's leg. I've never felt the same way since. An, ugly, dirty, inexcusable play.

 

Not sure where to put this but it is a must read for all fans.

MLS released the 2016 roster rules and added a ton more transparency to the rules.

We now have clear guidelines on how players from USL affiliates are treated and more importantly we finally have a ton of concrete numbers on how transfer fees are managed.

Real good stuff, if not overly complicated but that comes with the territory.

KC just signed a young DP, 22 year old Diego Rubio from Chile on loan. I do not know how long the loan is for. He has been capped by Chile 3 times. Most recently was playing for Real Valladolid in the Spanish second division.

 

For those who can't see tweets here: TFC gave up TAM and an international slot for GAM. Trading GAM for TAM was not something I thought was allowed. Sounds like money laundering to me.

 

He was actually Sporting CP's property for the past four or five years, but never made an impact on the first team. He would have been a good loan target a year or so ago before they sold him to Real Valladolid.

 

I really do not want to open the can of worms and I am glad that the Jones contract situation is settled. I think it was good for both sides to get this worked out and the Revs treated him fairly by trading his rights early so he could get on the field as soon as possible. That said, I wonder if an injury like this in Philadelphia would have allowed us to trade Jones to the Union for more than we received from the Rapids?

 

Houston currently up 4-0 on FCD through 80 minutes. Guess last week could have gone worse...

 

what a goal by Amarikwa....Maybe be goal of the year

 

Actually, I'm not sure it's better than Dwyer's goal, or Higuain's of last week. It's a long year.

 

I don't think so. Adi was removed from DP status a while ago.

As of Feb 28th' the 3 Portland dps are Valeri, Ridgewell and Melano

Could be multiple things

1) They could have their eye on an American to sign
2) they could use TAM to remove the DP tag from either Zusi or Besler (or both) freeing those spots up.
