GA player
Avila decided to forgo his senior season as professional clubs started to show interest. Avila decided to sign a Generation Adidas contract and he was subsequently drafted in the 2nd Round (19th Overall) by FC Dallas in the 2008 MLS SuperDraft.
His stats don't really say "attacking mid" to me.
if true, not bad to free up international spot to get a US domestic MF for depth
oh cool, we're back to 2 strikers and a hell of a lot of mids. THis is exactly what we need.
I may be recalling this incorrectly but I believe Avila can play fullback as well.
If this is true, Avila would be player #36 and TFC will have tied New York's record for most players used in a season.
I remember they said that he was supposed to fill in for David Ferriera when he got hurt.
Things good for TFC in this deal:
1.GA player
2.Young
3.Domestic (US) - we gain an international spot
i think Santos fits FC Dallas's style better as the 4-4-2 striker
hmm... career backup so far (9 starts in 63 games). I can't say I really remember much about him.
So this means Johnson is now our #2 striker if anything goes wrong with Danny?
Graduated GA last season ... salaries are comparable so no money saved unless part of the deal

Seems like he wasn't at FC Dallas' training today...

He definitely knows something is up......according to his twitter.

Seems like he was held up in el salvador......possibly for a short trip to Nicaragua.....

Well, this must be the alleged deal that Dan Dunleavy tweeted on Sunday.
I like Santos. I hope Avila is worth it.
cool, excitingTFC I hope you enjoy Avila giving up on plays, never hoofing down balls and pouting constantly.
