NIULS ATTENTION: Maxi surprisingly Urruti decided to leave the club and was signed by Toronto FC of Canada
Take it as it is. The guy has around 420 followers so may be legit.
Do you guys know if Urruti would be a DP?
Best guess is he would take up a young DP spot for the rest of this year and next year.

Soooo #TFC has a big announcement at 12pm. Hmmmm #FGC

wonder what this is about? Urrutti signed?
how good is this guy? never heard of him
This OBS guy is a gamer.. I don't think the TFC he's talking about is our TFC.
No idea really other than he was approached by us, Pumas, River Plate, and Milan from what I heard. We offered the most $$$ and probably the most guaranteed playing time, if he (or his savvy agent) picked us out. If all these good teams wanted him then he must have something going for him. Before we got Laba I never heard of him either though.
If he was approached by Milan im sure i would of heard of him, i am a Milan nut job.
Oh god that was good. Looked at her twitter to confirm and found this on there. Now I can't stop laughing.

Anyways, I would think the club would set some preliminary media stations if there was an imminent signing. Or they are just holding back on the reveal.
If all the rumours are true and come full circle this window then our team looks a bit more dangerous.
Really.

I mean I would like to find A secondary striker that plays in behind Urruti, but thats probably the spot the speculation revolves around regarding a new DP this winter.
Koevs =gone. Ecks will probably leave over contract disputes. We may need a new RB this winter.. I would overpay and grab Myers from SKC. He is just coming into his own as a fullback and is very attack minded.
You have Hall and Russell who are ever able bodied depth guys.
I wouldnt mind keeping Earnshaw on the same money Braun is on for another year and have him as a 3rd striker to come in for a spark in close games.
He is always so positive and I am sure he is a huge part of keeping such a young team's morale up. Earnshaw as your third striker is pretty good. Ideally we would have a homegrown (like the galaxy have.. like 3..) goalscorer who we could slowly work into the team. I do think we need a NA born striker or two to work into the fold.
Convey, as much of an a$$hole he sounds like time and time again, is a quality piece. He is good on the ball while also working hard on defense. We have a solid north american player in our lap and I think we need to keep him. He might not want to stay in Canada tho.
Im satisfied. Not overly excited. Not overly worried. Just I can node my head and see that they are trying to do something the right way.
As someone with Asperger's I find it interesting every time I see him interviewed; one of the issues Aspies have is an inability to read facial expressions as accurately as other people, as well as a lack of tact born of intellect and the arrogance that often comes with it. I get the sense after watching him for years that Convey is a very serious, sober guy and, like someone with Asperger's, comes off as a dick as a result to almost everyone around him.
Frank Yallop apparently called him a locker-room curse in San Jose even as he was starting him. But what's seen as "negative" is often just critically analytical and detached.
TFC is keeping the media in the dark. Hes just one of us.
I don't know why I keep checking this thread.
It's like a bad drug.
This isn't a team that will be dangerous. It's a competent, salary cap friendly team full of players that can play the game and thier positions properly.
So yea IMO they have improved, but only to the point of not making shit head mistakes. They won't dazzle us on the regular, but some of the kids should show moments of brilliance here and there.
Should finish the season strong and shouldn't be a bottom dweller. I won't say playoffs though. They'll be close, but not that close.
Did anyone happen to catch The Filipino Channel at 12pm to see if they did indeed announce the signing of Urruti to their Team Fortress Classic squad?
Just look at Colorado two seasons ago - they proved you dont have the "dazzle" to win this league. You just need a team of competent MLS level players and a guy who can put the ball in the net on a semi-regular basis. You don't HAVE to have the LA or NY star players to win this league.
... apparently Newell's is fining Urruti for missing practice
