Odd stuff going around the internet about this... There is also a leafy mentions of another from PEC Zwolle.
Freddy Adu netted us Nick Rimando - the GOAT was an afterthought in that trade - and if Rossi gets us something similar, then I will be most pleased.
So, the son of FCC's general manager tweeted today that FCC has signed a striker from a top 5 league in Europe. Yes, done deal the next forward player from a top 5 league in Europe is coming to #Fccincinnati Announcement soon!!— Janwatze nijkamp (@janwatzenijkamp) January 30, 2020 He followed up with other tweets like these: i think josef martinez is going to have a run for his top goal getter titel. when the new guy lands in cincy.— Janwatze nijkamp (@janwatzenijkamp) January 30, 2020 This is al you get guys. #hint pic.twitter.com/ljlvmGMATF— Janwatze nijkamp (@janwatzenijkamp) January 30, 2020 Rumor came out shortly after that they were after Jurgen Locadia, which sure fits with the hint tweet. Also, someone pointed out if you type loca into a gif search (like the one I have on my text message app for instance) that is one of the first pictures to come up. Going to be much more expensive than Bobby Wood, but also much more likely to actually do something on the field.
Maybe. Maybe not..... Good luck Jürgen! 👋🏼Jürgen #Locadia's loan spell has come to an end and the Dutchman returns to Premier League club Brighton & Hove Albion.#TSG pic.twitter.com/8KmXjhTvdz— TSG Hoffenheim EN (@tsghoffenheimEN) January 31, 2020 That is the first shoe that needed to drop.

In Fire rumors, it sounds like they are not signing Pizzaro (though it now sounds like Miami is in for him) and the deal for Gaston Gimenez fell through. Now the rumors are that they are going after Rapid Vienna's starting d-mid Dejan Ljubicic.
Continuing with the Fire theme..... 🔴 Le LOSC annonce aujourd’hui l’arrivée de l’international argentin Nicolás Gaitán (31 ans) 🔽https://t.co/tWirKKBBde pic.twitter.com/kt3sUNBSnp— LOSC (@losclive) January 31, 2020
Meanwhile Matt Jordan thinks our roster "...is pretty much set." Pardon me while I go stay deliriously drunk in the corner until next winter.
RSL may have signed a young Venezuelan winger who may have signed a contract with a Greek team a couple of days prior. He is or isn't coming, for sure.
I guess this is a rumor for now. He's supposed to be here soon. Not a DP, though. #FCCincy is expected to sign Adrien Regattin this week.— Laurel Pfahler (@LaurelPfahler) February 3, 2020
It appears BWP has signed with LAFC. Let’s do this @LAFC @LAFC3252 pic.twitter.com/EjNIj0DKgt— Brad Wright-Phillips (@BWPNINENINE) February 9, 2020
This is weird. He may be angling for a front office position or coaching position post retirement in a place that has good weather for more than five minutes in May and five minutes in October, but what does LAFC need with him?
Depends on the salary. If they are getting him at non-TAM rates, he'd be a good bench player? They could also be hoping that last year was just an offseason and that he can return to form this year?
Dio has a foot injury that will keep him out through the CCL round and part of the beginning of the season. Atuesta, Rossi, Ginella, and Segura are with their U-23 teams. Zimmerman was with the Nats. BWP has apparently been there throughout most of preseason and now the team needs a striker. I think that’s about it.
