The preseason of Perruzza continues!
TFC game story has some more detail on the LAFC match:

This off season we've seen a number of MLS teams transfer players to European teams that share the same ownership (for example Auston Trusty going from Colorado to Arsenal). Trusty is a decent young player, but he's hardly Arsenal quality. However, it is a good way for Colorado to generate some GAM. They sell Trusty to Arsenal for $1M and magically create $1M in GAM for the Rapids, without any money really swapping hands - maybe just moving from one pocket to another. There's also been a few instances of teams transferring failed DPs to European teams that they share ownership with in order to get out of the contract.
I wonder if there's any chance that MLSE looks in to doing something similar. I know around 10 years ago there were rumours that MLSE was looking into Newcastle or Sheffield Wednesday. I also seem to recall (but can't find a source) that we had rumoured interest in a Serie A team. If MLSE wants to go all in on Italian soccer, buying a Serie A team wouldn't be a bad shout.
According to the Athletic, Fire are about to acquire Shaqiri. great player. whoa
Agree with Gogon. Idea right there, staring right in front of me/us; never entered my mind.
Insightful and smart noxx98.
For a team like Spezia, chump-change for MLSE.
Even if at first they take a minority stake with player exchange and development stipulations.
As well as first right of refusal to any available shares for control or full ownership.
I mean if ex-Saputo consigliere Joe Tacopina can do it.
Even if they have to get in bed with him or someone of his sort for only a short time; so long as they saran wrap themselves; legally.

I have to think of the "Naked Gun" with that one
For anyone who has access to Brit channels via Kodi or an app, BBC1 has Nottingham Forest's FA cup tie on tomorrow. Don't know if Richie will feature, given that he just played two internationals and the manager is leery of his experience (I'm a little worried he doesn't rate MLS and doesn't know what he has, but we'll see I guess).
"There are some people who might have better technique than me, and some may be fitter than me, but the main thing is tactics. With most players, tactics are missing. You can divide tactics into insight, trust, and daring." - Johan Cruyff
Richie is on the bench for the first time with Nottingham Forest vs. Leicester today. Game's about to kickoff. I shall update.
EDIT: Forest up 2-0 in the 23 min, two goals in two minutes. A nice header, a bad backpass.
EDIT: 3-0 Forest at the 31 minute of a Joe Worrall header on a corner.
EDIT: Leicester gets one back. Exciting game.
EDIT: 4-1 Forest on a Jed Spence goal, well worked.
Doesn't look like Richie's going to get on. I wonder if it's a speed-of-game issue this early; the pace is frantic compared to MLS. You forget when watching two Premiership squads how it can be because there's often one team bunkering, which skews the perspective. This is going at the same speed as Liverpool-Chelsea. It's loony tunes quick.

He's on loan from Middlesborough and there's scuttlebutt he's got multiple Premier League teams already interested. I suspect they bought Richie thinking they might lose Spence during the window, but it didn't happen.
But what they did do is loan out their other left back and have said they consider Laryea able to play both sides. So he's probably looking at backup duty on the right flank, and he's competing with Max Lowe for the starting job on the left. Lowe is another loanee, from Sheffield United but less highly regarded.
Here’s highlights from today’s friendly with Austin.

“Years have gone by and I’ve finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.
I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: ‘A pretty move, for the love of God.’
And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”
