    I read in "Touchline Virginia Youth Soccer Association" today that Danny Karbasiyoon will likely sign for Arsenal this coming May. He's been offered a contract but he wants to finish his senior year first. Have you guys heard about this Roanoke guy before?

    Yes.

    I believe he was over there for training back in the fall.

    not sure what's so funny about Roanoke, but you'll note in the article that the chief scout at Arsenal is quite serious re Danny's ability. I would think Virginians would be proud to have someone from their state doing so well (not that he's the only one excelling) and, as JBohland says, the club down there is producing some very good players.

    there was a post some time back where his youth coach came on and posted a few things about him. i can't remember when the heck it was, but i remember he had some pretty solid info about the kid. the VA/MD area seems to produce a lot of good players.
