    I guess we wait until official notice, but.....

    Wilfried Moimbé to join Minnesota United

    https://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2019/wilfried-moimbe-to-join-minnesota-united/

    MLS side Minnesota United will shortly sign 30-year-old full-back Wilfried Moimbé, who is a free agent following the expiry of his contract with Ligue 2 side AS Nancy, according to L’Équipe.

    The ex-Nantes player is expected to complete the move rapidly, with the length of his contract with the United States outfit not yet known.

    Guessing this was not the first choice left back, if we're signing him on a free...

    Athletic (paywall), but from Jeff R. Pretty official.



    The defender is expected to be joining the club on a short-term deal that gives Minnesota flexibility at the end of the season, making the signing a low-risk move with potential to reward if Moimbé performs well

    . No misery for Minnesota United, who went to RSL and got a super-valuable point courtesy of a 1-1 draw. The fact that they managed it without either Ozzie Alonso or Angelo Rodriguez is a testament to how much more depth this version of the Loons has than in years past, and how much better they are at using it.

    You've probably heard a lot about Mason Toye. He got the assist in this one.

    You've probably heard less about Hassani Dotson, and this is me officially making a case for him as the Rookie of the Year front-runner
    . When Minnesota's starting RB Romain Metanire went off to the African Cup of Nations, led his team to their first-ever appearance in the quarterfinals and was tournament Best XI, Adrian Heath put Dotson in at right back and the team did not miss a beat. When Metanire returned and Alonso

    Doyle, having positive things to say about the Loons with absolutely no "Well, let's wait another week" qualifiers.

    I nearly passed out.

    They played this as best as they could. I am 99.9% sure that the the deal that fell through was for the LB. Get a low cost player, who should provide some cover for the LB spot. Doesn't work out? He is on a short term contract. As much as I like Gaspar, he is going to get tired.

    I wouldn't be surprised if that was it for the summer, but I would still like to see if we can bring in another starter quality CB.

    Matt does love it when teams play the youth.

    After making the transfer deal official last Tuesday, the Loons had Lod penciled in for his first game in the U.S. Open Cup semifinals against Portland on Aug. 7.

    Recognizing that a large part of that is a result of Metanire being so darn freaking good at attacking down the right flank. :)

    Thankfully MLS doesn't have a roster limit on "Number of players who can hold green cards."
