    With Paunovic's love of international players, that should work against him!

    Normally yes, but with the International heavy roster, well, see Correles (green card, same idea).
    Don't look too long though, your eyes may start to burn.

    He's an 8 that can push forward at times. He has sparks and that's just fine for a player coming off the bench. Not a starter, but he can bring something off the bench.

    Mo Adams does everything better than Brandt Bronico

    So he'll be the next one loaned if we sign Gaitan or Nilsson

    Not necessarily, Kappelhoff got his green card last year in his third year with the team, so there may be several internationals that may become eligible to get green cards this year. .

    It's hard getting over the finish line.

    Isn't that one of NRod's lines

    At least we won't lose anymore of our internationals to USL teams.;)

    At least Collier will be able to contribute to the first team this year.

    If we were using DTAM on this deal I don't think it would be Nelson's fault. It'd be the players fault as the DTAM is what the owner pays the league to use on player salaries. Also Paul Tenorio and a reliable person on Reddit said he is still going to the Fire and people said this article is false as Fenerbahce is in financial trouble and wouldn't be able to afford him.

    So I know we like to give Nelson crap but let's just wait okay. Now I will say we still need help on the defensive line so hopefully he signs someone soon. That is where I would put a ding on him for not upgrading there.

    also seems reasonable that, given the Fire international situation, Gaitan's agent might want to have a backup plan in place.

    Given the Nimrod situation, he'd be a fool not to.

    I stand by my statement. The guy is
    TyrusRose2425 and he's been accurate on things lately. I just joined reddit a few weeks ago but everyone on that board believes what he says and when he does it,it happens lol.

    I'm in the camp that I find it hard to believe he's going to Turkey. I'm not saying there isn't a chance and he hasn't been in talks..
    It could very well happen.
    But I think it's going to take some doing for it to happen. The league - as much as the Fire have been working on this deal . I understand it's NRod and Pauno were talking about.
    I think if the fire botch it , he's going to someone else in the league .

    Reports from Turkey about the Fire have been extremely sketchy in my experience at least. I don’t really trust anything from them unless someone like Guillermo is confirming it.

    Both Turkey and the Fire are pretty sketchy.

    I don't trust either.
