Different type of player but could make as big of an impact as Giovinco. He's that talented. Just doesn't get regular first team minutes, just like Gio.
He's far more talented. MCFC would never buy Giovinco, they bought Jovetic though. If it wasn't for his incredibly poor injury record (Worse than someone like Guiseppe Rossi's) he may well have earned himself a first team spot in Manchester.
 
I'd wish we get a report saying WHEN he's going to join.
I while back in this thread someone said there was supposed to be a press conference this Friday. So now we have 5 days of waiting and sifting through more and more rumors.
 
Let it be-ard, let it be-ard, let it be-ard, let it be-ard, whisper words of whiskers, let it be-ard!

Looks like I'm late to the party but as of 615 or so tonight he hadn't signed a contract. They were hoping to have it done tonight. Hopeful.

He won't be our last signing. They have a few more moves to announce in the next ten days.
I'm not asking for specifics but do you have direct sources?
 
ESPN FC and Bleacher Report are both reporting that Pirlo has signed with us. I'm almost 100% positive we'll see Pirlo on the pitch for us!
 
MLS twitter right now...

Wow best news ever.

I take that back. BEST NEWS EVER.

K Kjbert, did your sources say anything else about the signings? Positions, ages, leagues, etc.?

I can't imagine what our other moves would be. The only place we now lack depth is at CB, but we could also use a good striker. But a non-DP that fits under the salary cap, I'm not expecting more obvious starting-caliber additions.

The question about Pirlo is whether he'll be joining the squad and playing for us now (around July, maybe not July 12), or if he's waiting until next season. Some reports have been that he's coming in January.
 
I can vouch for K Kjbert
Hopefully we don't have to wait till Friday to get an official announcement. Unless his son makes an account and posts the contract lol
