I had a slimmer of playoff hope until this trade went down. If I were to look at the other side of the table LAFC made a great trade if they are going to make a deep playoff run. We need to make some trades before we start next year anything for defense mid would be very helpful.

I'm hearing that #MNUFC is looking to sign Brazilian defensive midfielder Fernando Bob. Having last played with Ponte Preta, the 30 year old is trialing with the Loons this week. He is currently a free agent.— Jeff Rueter (@jeffrueter) August 15, 2018 1) Bob comes highly rated from Serie A in Brazil, although he has struggled to stay with the same club for extended periods. Read into that as you will.2) Bob is a true stay-at-home No. 6 - which #MNUFC desperately needs.3) your Sideshow Bob joke has been done now.— Jeff Rueter (@jeffrueter) August 15, 2018
Jeff, I'll take your word for it. I'm...underwhelmed. Maybe I can get all the way to whelmed, though.
