The scouting report makes sense. I really hope this guy is a good a possibility as he seems — not fast but experienced and a leader . . .

The duNord website called his a “dirty player” (but how does HE know?). Discussion on the Club America Big Soccer page say he did not play well this past season (i guess he’s gotten slower, or something), but, yet, he was the team’s captain, and (from the FCD UTube press conference, it sounds like Davino wants a change from living in Mexico City (it also sounds like he did have offers from other Mexican clubs). Now, I’ve never been to Mexica City, but it used to be/is the most populated city in the world and had/has the problem that go along with that . . . so it certainly sounds credible that HE initiated the possible move here to MLS and FCD.

He seems to be promising, but after the Denilson thing . . . just get it right, FCD!!

Parry, keep in mind Gbandi catching on in Europe is not guaranteed. He has tried it before, and has always wound back in MLS.

Gbandi will be make available to a Swedish team and Moor will stay wide as he now does with the national team. Not saying that’s the way it should be but that is the way it is!

Wondering out loud, but does anyone think a Davino signing would be a push more to a 3 man back line? Or as Chamo alludes to, compensation for the loss of Goodson?

If SM moves to a 3 in back:
Wagner/C.Gbandi — Davino — Moor

4 in back:
Wagner/C.Gbandi — Davino — Moor — TBD/Rhine
