I would like to apologize in advance for the Portland Timbers having the highest fouls to fouled ratio in the league this season, possibly topping all other teams combined (based on recent additions and assuming we lose Nagbe).

Dallas signed Yet Another Homegrown: Reggie Cannon. http://www.fcdallas.com/post/2016/12/22/fc-dallas-signs-18th-homegrown-player-defender-reggie-cannon Also there's a rumor Miguel Ibarra may move to Minnisota United. Didn't he play for the Loons or whatever they were called a few years ago? EDIT: Yep, says so a couple lines down, heh. Moktaro fucked around with this message at 22:26 on Dec 22, 2016 |

Montreal trades Harry Shipp to Seattle for Garberbucks: he never really fit in MTL's system but he may have trouble getting sufficient minutes as understudy to Lodeiro of all people, so I guess we'll see.

If Nico's like all of our South American Fancy Dans, he'll miss a lot of time with ankle knocks.

I think Shipp is a logical pickup Garth said he doesn't want the team beholden to one player, and while Shipp is nowhere near as good as Lodeiro having a cheap #10 to back him up is better than throwing up our hands and letting Brad Evans pretend to be Ozil. Also apparently there might be another signing tomorrow according to Pentz. I wouldn't be shocked if it was Rose maybe coming back from Coventry or hopefully a loving right back.

Can Shipp play winger? Don't see him getting much time at the #10, Lodeiro has proved to be really fit there. Of course, there's always suspensions, and maybe cold weather games...

I think thats where he mostly played on the wing in Chicago, on the flip side I think Lodeiro has played better when starting out wide so honestly I wouldn't be opposed to Shipp being in the middle and letting Lodeiro cut inside from the left.

Fair enough. I'm sure Schmetzer will appreciate having more time to play with formations.

Atlanta have signed Greg Garza on loan with a permanent option from Tijuana, and had to send a draft pick to Columbus due to discovery rights. And Chicago have apparently signed Juninho (the one that used to play for the Galaxy) from Tijuana. It's apparently also a loan with an option, and they have to trade allocation spots and draft picks with Minnesota to do so. trem_two fucked around with this message at 23:47 on Dec 23, 2016 |

Yeah, it's an allocation order switch, Garberbux, and a second ground draft pick. The move is pretty out of the blue for Chicago, I hadn't heard any rumors at all before it happened.

He wants to win his own award. That said, any team giving him a DP contract is dumb and should fire their GM. This includes the possibility we sign him.

Rumors out of Spain say that Villarreal RB Antonio Rukavina is coming to Chicago. The Fire are also set to sign Indiana University's own Grant Lillard to a Homegrown contract. Making moves.

Ah, the sports bra kits. Good times. Anyway, this was fairly easy to call, since the team didn't pick up his option or protect him in the expansion draft. Happy trails, Friberg! You were acceptable.

There was a pic a few seasons back - where at training, all the native English speakers were in one huddle, all the native Spanish speakers were in another huddle, and poor Friberg, in the middle and looking lost.

A DP defender? Is that legal? (kidding, kidding, looks like a solid pickup and having Ghana's centreback pair at your team will probably give American strikers PTSD flashbacks for years to come if they keep being your bogey team at the WC.)

In earth-shattering news, the mighty Collin Martin has been shipped to the north, as the villain Amos Magee loots his old team for...an often-injured player who found his level at USL and never cracked the first team? Right. Well, he used to be a Kicker and now he's a Loon and DC get a fourth-round Superdraft pick and a can of magic beans. Why didn't they just call Minnesota the loving Loons.
