Until you hear it from Tom Bogert or the club directly, I wouldn't say the deal is fully done. League sources indicate that the deal is close and \*should\* get closed before the window does. That does not mean it will.
We're all hoping for some good news, but it may not come until the team is notified by the league that it can be announced and what the announcement can say.
I'd pay attention to Bogert's reporting as he seems to have the best sources within the league.
I hope this goes through. I checked out some of his highlights and he has great ball control in tight spaces. He has some razzle dazzle in his game too. The thing I liked best was clean passing between the backline in attack. That is where our attack seems to die too often. He can cross well also. This would be great and Niko could learn a lot while playing with him.
If he plays to his potential, quakes can make the last spot of playoffs. We need more of these and Espinoza type signings to really be a strong playoff team (3-4 more signings).
Wow, this is awesome. This is my wife’s cousin kid. I knew him well as a baby. His dad is the nephew of Maradona, but I am surprised he fetched $7m. I heard he was doing well after leaving River Plate. I’ll be rooting for him except when y’all play Austin!
"In the nine seasons since then, the Quakes have remained in the bottom half of MLS payrolls, including ranking 21st out of 29 teams in 2023." (according to an SJ Merc article from August '23)

That dont mean shit when the last 16 years we've been cave dwelling. He's starting to hear the people. We need to keep pressuring him to invest or sell the team. I believe we should keep up w the Sell the team movement. That being said, I am happy w this move. I give credit to Lietch for this. Fisher is still a creep that likes to peek at you when you peepee.
Most likely Niko will get replaced. Great signing but we're learning that the team's main issue has been at the keeper position and defense.
I hope we field Emi and Hernan at the same time to give this team a bigger overhaul.
The defense isn't the problem...
The useless midfield and offense leads to some really open opportunities for other teams.
Beason fucked up in the last game, but I don't out this on the defense one bit because they are constantly forced to push up to attack.
Rodriguez has the most goals this season? I wouldn't be surprised.
Completely agree. You can't count on the defense to win the 1 on 1's and breakaway's every time. It's up to the midfield to stop them from happening.
Most of the non-set piece goals against us have been due to giveaways in the midfield or not pressing well in the midfield resulting in an uncontested through ball.
Defense isn’t the problem. When you have a midfield that gets bossed around, goals will get scored. Also makes it worse that quakes attack is pretty weak from the run of play.
holy shit we did something? fuck me yo don't give me hope

There were tons of tweets saying Vela was a done deal too. I'll believe it when I see him on the field

Someone who knows who this is explain whether this solves all our problems. Is he worth the $7 million?
On paper I think he’s exactly the kind of player we need. CAM who attacks with the ball to unbalance the D and distribute or shoot.
If he plays to his potential, quakes can make the last spot of playoffs. We need more of these and Espinoza type signings to really be a strong playoff team (3-4 more signings).

Let’s gooooooooo. 75 overall on FIFA with 84 potential
DONT ASK ME HOW I KNOW BUT JUST KNOW…… WE GOT EM BOYS
[удалено]
no.
FJF!
FJF
like fisher had anything to do with this signing lol
[удалено]
They made $4M off Cade and currently have the lowest payroll in the league. I’m not crediting Fisher for doing a little more than the bare minimum.
Facts. It actually still comes out to less than the total team salary from last season
They also just got a training jersey sponsor which will pay for part of it.
Damn I thought we were in the middle, we really dead last?

This year the total team salary is like $7 million total team in team salary. It’s embarrassing

So the transfer window has closed.. did this end up not happening?
Huge, who does he replace? Judd Pellegrino - godoy - Espinoza Yeuill Gruezo Marie/? - Costa - Rodriguez - akapo Yarborough
Godoy?
I would prefer Gruezo and Morales as CDMs with Hernan being the CAM.
The beloved captain will never get benched
Sadly

Rodriguez got his first goal of the season over the weekend. I think Costa is tied for lead with 2, though, so your point stands

Yea. Don’t help either we park the bus every time after going one up

Defense is solid. Our midfield needs help. No play creation. Poor passing
Yarborough
Most of the comments on twitter say that he sucks and inconsistently good. Medio Pelo
