TRANSFER: Minnesota are set to sign Reading goalkeeper Vito Mannone on loan. pic.twitter.com/OUfxc4ECxK— MLS World (@MLS_World_) February 6, 2019
Hmm... All of his professional career in England... 15 appearances for Arsenal...2 for Barnsley...31 for Hull City...Sunderland 67...Reading 47... Yeah, this could work.
As much as as I hate to say it, England is a bit better than mls. Though, I do get your point. A loan deal does not hurt us, but this is (optics wise) a "we didn't really have a plan b arrangement after Rossi." plan. Now, can we add some young midfielders?
Who else does Deportivo Cali have on the roster? Club America would do in a pinch, I suppose... (Or we can do another Talent Raid on Colorado...)
Rueter confirmation I can confirm that #MNUFC is set to bring in Vito Mannone. It'll be a one year loan with the goalkeeper's salary in the low-TAM range, per sources. https://t.co/s1xl9ynwrU— Jeff Rueter (@jeffrueter) February 6, 2019
Taken for the lineup. Looks about right....maybe going back and forth on Kallman vs Boxall? I like how our squad is shaping up & I gotta say, I'm getting pretty excited about @MNUFC's upcoming season. Like the offseason moves, love that we have an affiliate with @ForwardMSNFC and a brand new stadium at @allianzfield!

A) I think we pay too much to keep Molino on the bench. B) Man, I wish we were deeper up top than Angelo the Human Traffic Cone and Abu the Perpetually Pulled Hamstring. C) Five new starters. I believe you called that one.

With Vito Mannone's impending addition, #MNUFC had one last international spot available. Their offseason shopping is complete, leaving an opportunity to sent it elsewhere and add to their allocation money coffers. $125,000 GAM and $75,000 and TAM is a solid return. https://t.co/8zAQlzgk6C— Jeff Rueter (@jeffrueter) February 7, 2019 There are still deals in the works, just nothing to report as of this minute.This is *probably* what the #MNUFC depth chart looks like after the Arizona trip. Still cover needed at CB, central midfield, and a veteran backup striker. pic.twitter.com/4PZOiP2WSJ— Jeff Rueter (@jeffrueter) February 7, 2019
#MNUFC is also working on securing green cards for more than one player on the roster, per sources. Michael Boxall and Darwin Quintero are the two longest-tenured international players on the roster. https://t.co/pMuEjusH8t— Jeff Rueter (@jeffrueter) February 7, 2019
Ah, yes... Green Card Bingo. Another part of the game that, to their credit, Manny and the FO play surprisingly well.

#MNUFC rookies, fullback Chase Gasper and midfielder Hassani Dotson, remain in preseason camp, indicating they’ve impressed and could be nearing #MLs contracts. Defender Mitchell Osmond and midfielder Kevin Rodriguez are no longer with Loons.— Andy Greder (@andygreder) February 11, 2019
https://www.twincities.com/2019/02/27/minnesota-united-weak-at-defensive-midfield/ Clubs must meet the roster-compliance deadline on Friday, which puts a cap on when players can be added in the short term. Heath indicated Wednesday that intraleague moves could still happen before the end of the week. “I’m hoping in the next 48 hours we get a response to who we’ve asked about,” Heath said. The Loons will have other opportunities to add, with the primary transfer window open until May 7. United tried to add international defensive midfielders last season but it didn’t pan out with Brazilians Maximiano or Fernando Bob
