Poku Sold?

[Ulrich]

Since there hasn't yet been an official presser for Poku's transfer, other than the bush league MLS article citing the initial fan tweet & EoS, I guess we'll get confirmation (minus contract details) if/when Poku is part of Miami's 18 on Saturday.... Or if Miami has a press conference before that to introduce him. Either way, we'll probably get our news from the NASL.... [sigh...]

Did they do that or are you making hypotheticals?

Citing past practice.

Even MCFC did that. Remember when they announced Shay Facey's contract extension with NYCFC only to retract it 20 minutes later? Whoops.

Update: Poku is in Miami right now.

I'll try and get some more info soon but expect it to be official in the coming hours.

Makes sense. These things always take more time than we expect due to physicals, paperwork/terms and traveling. The club will make announcement or issue a press release when it's official

We should ship them down the "I'm in love with the Poku" banner, like Chelsea shipped the Drogba banner to Montreal

Won't believe it till the #88 jerseys are on clearance in the MLS store.

With him being a fan favorite and derby ticket sales looking like they are down for Sunday based on a number of factors I bet they are holding off as long as they can for fear of pissing off casual fans that maybe considering coming to the game.

Or when they put them at 75% off

do casual fans know who poku is?

Would anyone other than a minimally informed fan be cheering we want Poku when we have no subs left or he's not even on the bench. Since both have happened this season I'd say yes.

Somebody did a cut/paste without editing.... Can't trust an unpaid intern to do anything that doesn't involve coffee.

Old Atlanta Silverbacks template it seems.

I assume our club is holding off so that Miami FC can make the announcement with some fanfare. They spent the $$$, let them roll out the thunder.

If anyone still complains about the restrictive salary cap in MLS, I give you exhibit A as to why it is necessary. 500k/year for Poku.

Is that really what they're paying him? Damn
Good for him
