If it's Creavalle. That would be an incredible move.

What's scouting report on him? I am sure a lot of us don't know much about his game.Originally Posted by PopePouri
Also plays in midfield.Warren Creavalle is the supposed player.
Salary $100K. Plays anywhere along the back line. Probably better than Ashe.
Bradley Orr type. Mostly defensive and versatile. According to WhoScored he's already played CM, DM, RB and LB for Houston this year.
Makes sense especially in the short term with Bloom injured.
I'm going to go with Sarkodie or Creavalle.....
I think of him more as a midfielder. But those guys who can play a lot of positions are valuable.
Creavalle playing in the central midfield according the Houston site.
Went to school at Central Florida - Expansion draft bait?
I think its gotta be more than just Creavalle, there has to be allocation or something else for the trade surely? This is a trade for a current US international, that's gotta be worth a good amount of trade value.
23 Yr Old, has been used in multiple positions.

Thanks for scouting report.
I guess he will be playing as RB if we get him.
This might be an awkward night for him.
Warren Creavalle @warrenspeak · Jul 21
Only two days away! Come out & bowl with me and a couple of my @HoustonDynamo teammates on 7/23! #DynamoStrikes
Considering he's a weak crosser I would doubt that although he adds versatility at a time where injuries are creeping up
Creavalle would be an interesting/weird grab, since he fits in a similar role to that of Warner, the defensive coverage in midfield. Even more so, his introduction into the team pushes Jeremy Hall down even farther the depth charts all over the board.
Its okay.... But I would rather get ahold of the 1st overall pick.
I'm thinking the ability to put in a defensive sub off the bench for one of the forwards moving us from a flat 4-4-2 to a 4-2-3-1 is a good thing.
I kind of wish we didnt' have to lose our allocation spot just because Houston wants Beasley.. can we just let them have him and wait for another player to come in through the pipeline at which point we either grab them or trade with a team that has actual assets?
Could be someone like Hall going the other way.
From a Houston fans perspective...
Juan Ortega @JuJu_Ortg 6m Oh God, please no! “@KurtLarSUN:... player coming from Houston in exchange for Beasley (allocation). Creavalle is the name I'm hearing.”
Juan Ortega @JuJu_Ortg 3m
@fishnicks @KurtLarSUN He is one of our best and still has a ton of potential. My hat off to TFC if that deal goes through.
In case anyone is wondering, Houston currently sits 14th in the allocation order. Not sure if TFC would take that spot or go to the back.
Us using our allocation spot for a salary dump would be different.
Darrell Lovell @DarrellLovell 33s Confirmed: @Houstondynamo have traded Warren Creavalle to Toronto FC for top allocation spot and allocation money.
Apparently we gave up allocation $ as well
No fan of us giving up allocation but we'll never know how much was given or how much we have left so who cares?
All in all, young versatile player for nothing. Better than wasting that spot.
That's a fucking awesome move. Players like Olum and Creavalle are few and far between.
True, but we don't have many options for RB right now. So that's why I mention him as our RB until Bloom comes back healthy.
In Bez we trust.
That is a good move. We wouldn't want DMB. Instead, we get a versatile young starter type as filler - just what you want heading towards the expansion draft. Give them a bit of the Garber $ if need be. We still come out ahead I think.
I like that all of Bez's deals are aimed at getting more versatile and younger. Glad to see the days of getting time proven (ie. aging & overpaid) MLS vets is a thing of our past and now deals are finally looking towards the future. Strange having management that has a plan for a change.
This most likely spell the end of Orr's loan at the end of the season.
And the end of Hall
And Bekker not even making the bench.
That was written in stone during the RSL game.
Probably but not 100%. I am figuring that they expect Orr to be too high of a cap hit and also not worthy of a transfer fee if we'd have to pay one. Probably just cheaper, younger domestic cover.
On the plus side; no more Hall. Finally someone saw him for what he is. I was wondering what everyone had been looking at for the past few seasons.
