nolando Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 Everyone in FCE had a poor year last year so I wouldn't hold that against him. Nice goal, hope he sticks with DC. The lastest out of DC concerning Porter: *Decisions about the other trialists — Honduran attacker Walter Martinez, Panamanian right wing Marcos Sanchez, Canadian winger Kyle Porter, Ugandan defender Henry Kalungi and forward Ryan Richter — are coming in the next few days. Martinez and Sanchez have made favorable impressions and Porter “has been pretty good — pretty damn good,” Olsen said. (Martinez has U.S. permanent residency and would not count against the international player limit; Sanchez and Porter would.) *The four players headed to the third-tier Richmond Kickers for the USL season have still not been determined, “but we have some ideas,” Olsen said. “Once we get the entire roster settled in the next couple of days, we will make some decisions about Richmond.” http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/soccer-insider/wp/2013/02/19/d-c-united-news-notes-15/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that's good news for Porter, but I hope I'm wrong about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nolando Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 Sherif El-Masri came home for a bit and flirted with signing for another club before getting called and told that Courts Young Lions were reversing their no foreigner policy for this season. He is definitely closer to not being considered a foreigner which will help his cause: http://www.foxsportsasia.com/football/sleague/news/detail/item937308/Young-Lions-bend-no-foreigner-rule-for-El-Masri/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThiKu Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Trafford can probably get paid a bit more in China - or at least have a lower cost of living??? (speaking as someone not versed in world economy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcalibre Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Trafford can probably get paid a bit more in China - or at least have a lower cost of living??? (speaking as someone not versed in world economy) He wanted a change of scenery after Finland: http://www.theprovince.com/sports/soccer/Former+Whitecap+Mason+Trafford+finished+with+Finland/7717323/story.html And he definitely got it. Wonder if his Guatemalan girlfriend went with him? How's her central American scouting knowledge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nolando Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 Jaime Peters is trialing with TFC. This makes more sense than Caps if you ask me. http://www.sportsnet.ca/soccer/2013/02/27/tfc_fire_trade/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nolando Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 Posted yesterday on facebook: "JULIAN UCCELLO Former professional footballer with AC Milan, FC Crotone, FBC Savona, Sansovino Calcio, Casale Calcio, AC Bellaria. Will be working as a scout for GISS from Toronto, CANADA." Does this mean he is hanging up his boots? Pity, if true. Only a couple years removed from making a half dozen appearances for a Serie B side. One of the MNT's great mysteries how he couldn't find a club (or perhaps a contract he liked) in North America. https://www.facebook.com/genovainternationalschoolofsoccer Can BigBird confirm, I wonder?

nolando Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 Thanks, gentleman. And Peters no longer with TFC. Must be close to the end of the road. Probably too "proud" to drop down to NASL. Obviously no interest from Lg. 1 or he probably never would have left the UK in the first place. What's left? Finland? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yohan Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Maybe Frank Yallop has a soft spot for him still?.... I think that ship has sailed. SJ has cap space issues and wasting an int spot on Peters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I think that ship has sailed. SJ has cap space issues and wasting an int spot on Peters? It was sarcasm, of course not. If Peters can't make a Canadian MLS team there is no hope for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcalibre Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 who was it on here saying that Frank owed him something and should finish the job by signing him or something like that? As if MLS teams can just pick up guys based on sentiment to take up an int'l spot, like Yohan says Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
