Fred signs for Philidelphia Union FC

Fred confirmed as signing for the new Philidelphia Union FC franchise in the MLS.  Chosen because of his experience with DC United and in the A League.

guess that means he wont be conming to us in the off season.

He said he wanted his greencard.

Don't need him.

Has he hit 30 yet?

Good luck to him anyway

You wouldn't turn him down. 

Not coming then.
Can we close this chapter yet?

We are still missing an attacking central midfielder. The closest we have is Brown or Diego. I think that the way we are playing now - with basically 3 DM's and then Leo, Ifill, Dadi, Hearfield and Lochy being the main attacking players is working though.

I would say Brown has been the attacking midfeilder. He is always in the box and then gets back again. Last night i saw him run from half way all the back to a vacant right back area. Did very well. Without being biased

Anyone notice that Vinnies shots are getting closer to the goal. has he been doing some secret practicing??

he does score a few crackers at practice sometimes. He needs just 1 on target and that'l be him set.

Lia scored some outstanding goals in pre-season.

The A-league could have kept him, but word is that Geoff Lord didn't want to pay Fred an extra $40,000 per season when he was at Melbourne. How silly is that, especially considering he was on $80,000 per year at the time.

Lord learnt a big lesson after that. The supporters in Melbourne are still livid with him over this. (Carlos is good, but it was naive from the MVFC owner back then).
