Kleberson made his debut for Philadelphia today. 11 minutes off the bench.

 

 

Really like what I'm seeing from Jack McInerney. Guy has a lot of potential.

 

Yup, looks like a good player. Possible National Team player in a few years?

I think he's got it in him. Very similar to Chicharito in playing style. Big-time poacher.

Yeah he's killed the Revolution like that, always in the right place at the right time. Stuff you can't teach. Decent scoring record for a 20 year old too.

You are correct. He's very good at that.

 

He's really quite awful on the ball though.

Sounds like a perfect fit for the national team. :lol:

Good news for Orlando, hopefully this happens for us. Would be massive for the city. Orlando City already has a great following - if they were to join the MLS would be really awesome.

 

 

ORLANDO, Fla. — Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer talked with Channel 9, telling Greg Warmoth the exact location for the proposed $110 million Major League Soccer stadium.

 

Dyer told Channel 9 where the stadium would be built, how it will be paid for and why he signed off on a multi-million dollar land purchase.

 

The two blocks where the stadium will be located are bordered by Central Boulevard, Church Street, Terry and Parramore avenues.

 

"I can tell you with certainty that is where we would like to construct the stadium," said Dyer. "It makes sense."

 

The Citrus Bowl will sit only a few blocks away, as well as the Amway Center and the downtown Performing Arts Center.

 

"That's the perfect location," said Dyer. "We have the parking already associated with the other facilities in the downtown area."

 

Records show the land wasn't cheap. It was purchased for $8.2 million, more than four times its value, according to the property appraiser's website.

 

The mayor, however, said he didn't overpay.

 

"It's all within the appraisals," said Dyer.

 

If built, Orlando City Soccer will pay $80 million to $100 million. Orlando is providing the land, and the county may kick in tourist development tax, which is a tough sell for at least one Orange County commissioner.

 

"I can't see any reason that I will change my position," said County Commissioner Fred Brummer. "The more I read, the more I see, the more, 'No,' I become."

 

Dyer is hoping other commissioners, lawmakers and MLS will agree the site is worth his $8.2 million gamble.

 

Currently, Major League Baseball, NFL, NBA and NHL teams can get funding help from the state for new stadiums.

 

The Florida legislature is set to decide during whether MLS also qualifies.

 

If Dyer's plan works, a new MLS team and a new stadium could be awarded by December.

I read somewhere that the people behind the Cosmos seem to be happy being in the 2nd tier for the forseeable future.  Sorry, no source to link to.

 

That's good to hear. It feels like Garber and Co. will fight tooth and nail to get them in MLS as quick as possible.
