2008/09 Offseason Player Movement Scorecard

Scott e Dio93 · Jan 27, 2009

Daniel Torres signed with Dallas. This guy sucks and failed badly with RSL and Crew , yet these idiots signed him.

SoccerPrime · Jan 27, 2009

Did Peter Vagenas really sign with Seattle? I keep hearing he isn't at camp and is basically AWOL since the Expansion Draft.

skajules · Jan 27, 2009

Felix Garcia to Dynamo.

Don't know if you include this or not, but Ives is reporting that Houston gave TFC an international spot for 2 years in order to jump up in the allocation process to get Felix.

20yo Canadian U-23 midfielder Jacob Lensky, released by Feyenoord last September, picked up by Seattle:

Sounders sign Lensky from Feyenoord

Sounders FC has added Canadian midiflelder Jacob Lensky to the roster. The 20-year-old was not at practice today but is expected to join the team tomorrow. Lensky retired from football last season due to depression/home sickness.

Lord knows he would have been a great pick up for TFC except that doesn't fill his desire to be close to home.

Honestly I don't think he ever intended to play with Seattle. I think he was just using the trial to get back into game-shape for Vancouver.

Ok Keepin It Real is now saying Argentine forward Luis Miguel Escalada, El Toro, is not only first claimed by RSL (via discovery) but RSL has now confirmed he is coming to MLS. His current club s LDU Quito in Ecuador.

http://keepinitrealsl.blogspot.com/2009/01/confirmed-luis-escalada-to-real-salt.html

Put those 2 facts together, it means El Toro is coming to RSL.

My plea to the good folks in this thread. Please don't post anything about a deal being "almost done" or "he should be coming" or what have you. Please only post completed deals -- it makes it a lot easier to maintain the list. There's plenty of other threads dealing with what might happen.

Thanks!
