    I wonder if we plan to use him on the wing.

    Update: Sao Paulo lists him as a right winger: http://saopaulofc.in/?p=1024

    This looks like a pretty good signing.
    Definitely a very good player. You can tell by the video he has technical skills and his passing and thru ball game is quite good.

    How "tall" is this Auro kid? Messi usually doesn't tower over someone.

    If the Friday scrimmage was against a "group of unattached", was there anybody we may want to have a look at?

    I hear we can really use another warm body at RB ?

    FWIW, we played the Mexican Navy team.

    I guess when you get unattached in Liga Mx, you get drafted.

    I just assume that "Navy" was it, since others were planned against Liga MX teams.

    For our baby TFC we should really try to find something easier they can play with, than Navy. Maybe landscaping crew?

    Auro looks like a very, very good player. Another smart move by Bez. Just gives us way more depth and competition. Those youtube videos really highlight his talent playing for Brazil U20, just making that team alone is impressive, and that wasnt long ago!

    Between VDW Hasler and Auro we are covered on the right. Hasler primarily in mid makes a lot of sense too.

    Damn I like the looks of this team!

    I've been told Mariano Mino is a TFC II project. Won't be with the first team.

    Artur came to Columbus on the same “Sao Paolo loan to MLS” highway.

    He just went back, Precourt low balled Sao Paolo (what a shock!), and they couldn’t agree on a deal for next year.

    Artur was one of the best MFs in MLS last year.

    This is a pretty interesting gamble.

    OT

    FWIW, Columbus Crew SC acquires midfielder Artur on a permanent transfer from Sao Paulo FC on December 6, 2017.

    Wikipedia and Soccerway say Auro is 5'6, while saying Messi is 5'7

    Oh. Whoops!

    It's funny, if you google this, the signing got like 10% of the coverage that the apparent split got the week before.

    Well, either way, Sao Paolo loans look like good value.

    It's weird, Berhalter was claiming some sort of special relationship with Sao Paolo as part of the Artur signing not six weeks ago. Not that special I guess.

    Auro can play winger so we now have that option at least.

    Not sure exactly how all the pieces will fit, but In Bez We Trust.

    Interesting signing. Bez had mentioned a lack of wide options as something they were looking to improve. I wonder if he can play on the left too, might be the preferred backup to Morrow as well.

    The key here is Hassler. He may be the best midfielder in the team behind Bradley and Vasquez.

    It serves a few purposes; obvious information you already know but I'l just state it. 1) Gives us strength and reliable depth at wing/RB. 2) if Van Der Weil falters here, or is injured; we are not playing with Hasler/Kubel at RB for 20 + games. Hasler is ok, but people are forgetting he's not a great RB. I'm not 100 % sure but isn't he more of a midfielder? 3) Van Der Weil is not a long term option relaisticly, while Auro could be. 4) Toronto was very fortunate to be so healthy last year; who know's if that can continue.

    Good move in my opinion. We wanted a young player and we got it. Hopefully he's versatile.

    I was hoping for a midfielder to get Osorio out of the starting 11 but this is good too

    The Auro loan is very interesting, even if a bit strange. It seemed like a replacement for Cheyrou was also a big need.

    Larson mentions he can play right FB, or as a winger on either side. However his Brazilian YouTube highlights have him listed as "Right Back / Central Midfielder" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTW7PAJMmAA) so that would give them more options. Of course GvdW can also attack up the right, especially if they play 3/5 at the back. It will be interesting how duties are divided between Auro, GvdW, Hasler, Delgado, Fraser, Chapman, Osorio and Kübel (plus Bradley and Vazquez as 90-minute starters of course).

    Yes. Auro may be one of our top defenders with Van Der Weil. You would think they would both have to play. Interesting to see how they would get both Van Der Weil and Auro both in the lineup.

    This is all I can come up with right now. Maybe TFC see him with midfield potential. He's only 22 after all.

    Larson did Paul Mariner scouting and indicated Auro hasn't played in 2 years.

    If so, he ain't starting until April.
