Here. We. Go.




Jürgen Locadia

It appears Jurgen Locadia is set to join FC Cincinnati for what should be a much improved season. This is huge. It is enormous. It is beyond exciting. Yes, I know... when it comes to breaking news I sort of screwed the pooch on the whole Gaston Pereiro thing. To be fair, if not for a dill weed of an agent it would have happened. However all the excitement and fanfare that was there for Gaston should now be here for Jurgen. This is a player that is only 26 years old and has played in both the Premier League and Bundesliga in the past year. If FC Cincinnati pull the trigger on the option to buy in June this is the player that will most likely be the center piece of the team when we open West End Stadium and hopefully for years to come.

I will continue to beat this drum, but I believe in this team and I believe in the ownership group. With all the issues that Nashville SC is having before they join the league it would have been easy to get marginally better and just point to the issues down south and be happy we are building a stadium. With the moves this team is making,  a playoff win happening in Nippert Stadium is a real possibility.

We are 29 Days from the season opener against NYRB and I cannot wait to watch this team take the pitch.

Well that was strange.

Going into this season the feeling was that FC Cincinnati was going to play good defense and try to score goals on counter attacks. It worked against Portland and then it worked again against New England. Maybe it worked too well. FC Cincinnati is playing with confidence which is undeniably a good thing, however  it is starting to feel like our confidence is misplaced. We currently don't have a striker that can find the back of the net at will. We do have midfielders and forwards who seem to be moving the ball around well and creating chances but those chances are only making the FCC faithful gasp and not erupt with joy. Friday night was a 90 minute gasp. So many times we appeared to be building well and creating an opportunity only to come away with nothing. For 40 minutes it felt as if that breakthrough was going to happen at any moment. We had the game under control and 3 points felt inevitable. It seemed as if the Real Salt Lake goal was being covered by a Plexiglas Shield...

Here comes our CAM

Word on the street is FC Cincinnati is about pick up the CAM we have all been waiting for. The club is close to signing Gaston Pereiro from PSV Eindhoven. The 24 year old Uruguayan National has total of 60 goals in 195 club appearances in all competitions. He has also netted 4 goals and made 10 appearances playing for the Uruguay National team. With the forthcoming addition of Yuya Kubo and now Gaston Pereiro it appears as if finding the back of the net won't be such an issue for the Orange and Blue. 2020 is looking to be awesome. Pereiro's sweet beard is going to challenge Leo Bertone's for best on the team

Take notice

I get it. This is only FC Cincinnati's second off season. Last season wasn't exactly anything to get excited about. After a great first month of the season we were quickly forgotten. It seems as if the Soccer Media has all but forgotten we exist. We have been swept under the rug... Some poor small market team that will just hoover around relevance. The MLS will happily rake in the money from the vibrant fan base but come on... you can't compete here. FC Cincinnati is on the verge of an amazing signing. Gaston Pereiro is only 24 years old and has had the interest of clubs throughout Europe. He is up and coming. Other than Pity Martinez when has there been such a high profile young player? This isn't the signing of a players who already spent their best years in the Premier League or in La Liga. (I'm looking at you LA Galaxy and Chicharito)This is a player that will instantly make our team not only better but a true competitor. And not just for a year or two. But ...
