Sky Sports is reporting that TFC and the Crew are trying to sign him. Has a few offers back in England as well. Anyone know much about him?

Another midfielder? I can only hope this means Peterson is on his way out.

Most of the youtube videos I've watched of him over the last 10 minutes he has played as a right winger and a bit of left.

I would release Mikael Yourassowsky and sign this guy, we have Danleigh Borman and Ashton Morgan at left back. Give Morgan a shot. Yourassowsky has pretty much played in the midfield. I'm sure this guy could play much better.

MLS teams don't get to compete on players like this. Officially under single entity it is the league that does the negotiating on behalf of whoever was first to file the discovery claim. Given TFC have almost certainly used up all the discovery claims for 2011 and have filled up all the available international roster spots getting a player like this on the roster could be highly problematic at this point so this needs to be treated with a healthy degree of skepticism.

Moralis, i think for what Youra is getting paid (~100) he's VERY valuable, and we neeeed squad players. All we have to do is drop Peterson (150k/year) and probably 1 other player (harden/harden??) if we weren't so injury riddled dand we have way more healthy cap space to work with. I'm all up for keeping Youra.

Actually keep Gargs on a league minimum, he's a good for the locker room i bet.

Yourassowsky is Left Back and he is playing whole season out of his position to fill up the mid because of so many injuries,he is much better LB than Borman.

We should look if someone wants Peterson,Gargan,Harden .

Gargan isn't even on league minimum anymore. Although $70,000 isn't that much.

Another Paul Mariner possibility. He's got his connections in England.
Eckersley is a young, Manchester United youth product.
Jones is a young, Manchester United youth product.
However its missing the Plymouth Argyle connection.
Sky Sports is also a trustworthy source, I would think.

Its very possible.

You know what, I never knew that (hide face here)...

But it explains alot. I kept wondering why people were so high on him after watching sub-par performances...

If he is a natural defender, that's great news - b/c we need some help back there!

^ Well ... the "defending" part is yet to be seen. He had some horrific performances marking his opposite number but he looked as good as Eckersley does going forward. Borman for my money (and MLS chalkboard will confirm this) gives up the ball wayyy too often and makes low percentage passes. But I am not sure if either of these guys is the answer.

As for Jones here, he reminds me a bit of Ryan Smith. Don't think it would be a problem to put him out wide.

He is not coming here. That photo was taken just after he watched the 0-5 debacle. He apparently doesn't wear gel, the hair is standing up from shock and horror of what he was watching.

as long as he doesn't spend the game trying to make friends, swimming and wetting himself on the pitch im fine.

Suspect if he had a beard he'd look a lot like the Geiko caveman.

If all discarded youth prospects from Man U = Eckersley quality, Sign me now.

They aren't. Remember that Ecks was not a discarded prospect, but a valued one that walked away from the club.

But food for though, Kenny Cooper is a rejected prospect.

Not sure his MLS salary would cover his hair mousse costs.
