Winter 2016/17 Yanks Abroad Transfer Tracker

Let's build a list of moves, including moves from overseas clubs back to the U.S., here.

We should clearly mark confirmed moves, rumors and trials/training stints. (But let's keep discussion of all of those things in the actual player threads, which we can link to from here if people like.)

Here is the summer thread:

And finally, here's a link to the transfer tracker document with a new page added for the upcoming transfer season. As before, it is viewable to all, editable by reasonable request. (As of this post, there's nothing on it...)

Among the non-stories, SKC re-signing Feilhaber ends those rumors, and Birnbaum is a possible re-signing at DCU after much ballyhoo.

 

A few updates as they start to trickle in:

@dark knight or @Friedel'sAccent or @bungadiri, maybe this becomes a sticky?

 

Some updates have been added, including Tim Parker's training stint and Perry Kitchen rumors.

 

I'm not going to add these guys to the list until there are rumors or moves, but the MLS offseason carousel has a few former YAs who are free agents/out of contract/etc., including Stephens, Clark, Parkhurst, Beasley, Hines, Barrett and W. Johnson.

 

And, now, Tony Taylor.

 

I don't know about Parker, but his stint has been reported as training only, so I don't think it matters.

I believe Powers has an Italian passport.

 

Mobi will ... wait for it ... Play ... in Vietnam.

It's sad to think that I'm now dating myself with a reference like that one.

 

Just a guess that we might be reading "Pulisic to..." stories every transfer season for awhile.

Goff on the Fab-to-AUFC possibility:

Logged the Guzan rumor and the Birnbaum-or-Besler to Swansea reports.

The list is pretty short so far, but pretty long on MNT players.

Added Alvarado.

 

This would definitely be the thread for Sean Johnson to Atalanta!

 

New England exercised its option on Agudelo, so that move seems unlikely.

Barrett, Pelosi and Goodson are ex-YAs whose options were declined at SJ. Some may re-sign.

Added Quinn's Norway trial to the tracker, plus some new clubs in the theoretical mix for Pulisic.

 

Logged the reported possible Junior Flores loan, as well as McBean's potential return to LAG.

 

Could they have? I suppose, but I imagine that a free agent might be more attractive to potential suitors than a player under contract, even if it's only for a year. In any case, my suspicion (and it's only that) is they started with the idea that they were willing to pay whatever the option year costs to keep him on the team for another season. Anything else would be gravy.

 

Logged the "Homie" Castillo to Columbus and Jones to Galaxy reports, plus the possibility of a Taitague to Schalke move (he turns 18 in Feb.).
