    Apparently rights from RSL for a conditional draft pick.

    ...And might I add that if that kid keeps up the form I've seen from him, he's worth all of our draft picks combined.

    Hope you have a right to buy fee included in that loan cause his price might have just gone up.

    I am watching now Brazil vs Honduras (35.min 0:1) and Martinez is playing on right side. I thought he is lefty? Honduras is playing with 10 men and Brazil just scored :mad:

    He plays all over the place, but was forced to stick on the right side today after our RM was sent off. I think that he did a good job and held his own against Marcelo and Neymar.

    He scored a beauty with his right foot also.

    Yeah that dude is all left foot and plays either wing, but I think his best spot is withdrawn striker-- basically the same position as Montero. I love to have him on this team... It's potentially a cup-winning move.

    And yeah, that was a sweet goal, but I think he only hit it righty in a state of emergency... If given another millisecond to consider it, I believe he'd prefer to go outside-laces lefty. Not kidding.

    Looks like we might have our own Super Mario.

    Does anyone know when Mario will be joining the team. I've heard this week I'm wondering if he'll be available for San Jose as an extra body could help with all of the fixture congestion. The good news is with the olympics he should be match fit.

    I think he is going to be here next week. I heard he went back to wherever Real Espana is located to apply for his Visa and will be hanging out there until it gets it, then he'll be coming here.

    Yea.. He arrived Sunday night and has to stay to finish some things with Real Espana and get some personal things done.. but he also might get called-up for the Boca Juniors friendly in Miami.

    Yeah, looks like he got called up, so the first game he'll be eligible for is Vancouver on the 18th.

    18... and I'm quite relieved that there was never any "retire Keller's number!" bullshit.
