Well after doing a Google search, I found out that he was a trialist this preseason in Brazil. He sounds like he's a number 10 type too (woo hoo!!!). http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q="jorge+gabriel+vasquez" Check out Fred's page. Roger
FDA has a scoop on the Revs which hasn't shown up on mlsnet, revolutionsoccer.net, ussocceruk, or even bigsoccer? Did we wake up in an alternate universe?
Hmmm... is this a sign that we will be shipping out one of our central midfielders, or is he just here for cover?
As I posted a few days ago on the Trialist thread--it just makes sense for the Revs to sign a player that fits SN's style as soon as possible for depth if for no other reason. While I was hoping for us to bring in something special I'm sure that Vasquez will be a solid addition to our midfield (SN hasn't made a bad selection yet). Welcome aboard Jorge. George
