Mark bloom is a solid MLS defender. He went to my high school so I'm pretty stoked about that.

It is pretty crazy the amount of talent Georgia puts out in soccer. Bunch of guys mentioned in this thread (Duvall, cann, Zimmerman, bloom, mcinerney, etc..) grew up and played in Atlanta which is cool. Wish we would have got mcinerney for that reason.

First free agent signing is in. Atlanta gets Jeff Larentowicz. No terms given in release.

That is good. Jurgen preferred him over Bradley.

Matt Doyle is thinking what I was thinking:
quote:

• I'm a little more confused by Atlanta's decision to draft FC Dallas veteran Zach Loyd in the second round. Loyd has been a very good pro for a long time, and checks all those "locker room culture" boxes that new teams struggle with. But he's a 'tweener who's too small to play alongside Michael Parkhurst in the central defense and not technical enough to be an attacking hub at right back. Add in his age, his not-inexpensive contract for the position, and the fact that he played less than 1,000 minutes this past year with injuries, and I'm left scratching my head a little bit. • Hey, why wasn't Jared Watts of the Rapids taken? Honestly I have no idea. Reportedly there was some sort of handshake deal between Colorado and MNUFC after Monday's trade for Joseph Greenspan, but that wouldn't explain why Atlanta would let Watts -- who's just 24 and is a reliably good center back -- slip through the cracks.

He likes the Romero news though:
quote:

There is also the bombshell news that Atlanta are on the verge of adding Paraguayan No. 10 Oscar Romero, which is a Lodeiro-level signing that will get its own column.

Javi Morales headed to Dallas. Great pickup while Mauro Diaz is still out.

And now the real possibility we've lost out on Romero to fricking China.
