Kerith Gabriel of the Philadelphia Daily News is reporting that only a contract issue is
preventing Colombian striker Lionard Pajoy from completing a transfer to the Philadelphia Union.
Pajoy, 30, leads the Colombian first division with 10 goals in 18 games for Itagui Ditaires.
Pajoy's profligacy in front of goal is a new development, however, with his career numbers
hardly indicative of a dominant striker.
It was the best of times... it was the only timesA hectic day in MLS continued after the Expansion Draft ended, with clubs announcing what players
they had waived from their 2011 rosters. Only Columbus, Dallas, Philadelphia and Salt Lake had no
names to add to a waiver list that now includes players like John Rooney and Jefferson Goncalves.
Peri nice!After acquiring Dasan Robinson in exchange for Dan Gargan this morning, we
commented that more moves were likely. We didn't expect it to be 8 hours later.
This evening TFC announced that the club has picked up Bosnian-born American Perica "Peri"
Marosevic, a once highly touted 22-year old forward.
"Just don't pass. Just don't pass. Just don't pass."
Few would have guessed that yet another mediocre Alen Stevanovic performance would have been the
catalyst for a recall to parent-club Torino. Yet, when the enigmatic Swiss-Serb was subbed off
against Seattle in the 2nd Half yesterday, he was leaving the BMO Field pitch for the last time.
The Philadelphia Union officially signed former MLS Most Valuable Player Carlos
Ruiz before departing for Greece. Ruiz arrives on a free transfer from Aris FC. He has
scored 82 goals over 155 games in his MLS career.
Ruiz gives Peter Nowak another offensive option to support Danny Mwanga and Sebastien Le
Toux.
Seattle set a high bar for expansion teams in 2009. And it was clear early on that the Union
would struggle to reach similar heights during their inaugural campaign.
Still, 31 points from 30 games did not do justice to a team that seemed to undo quality
performances with sudden and unexpected errors.
