Video: Martinez's Goal

Que golazo. Hope the FO can make a deal for Peri happen.

Martinez, Simms and Doe will all have to compete for best fro. I wonder who is the favorite. :)

Now with our luck, if we indeed get this guy, he won't do something like that at all for us this year... beautiful display of individual control and skill though..

I posted this up yesterday in one of your discussions. What no acknowledgement goff? :p

Every time I hear or see something like this, I fear the deal will fail.

I'm sorry to be a pessimist, but he looks kinda short. We haven't had any luck with short strikers with the exception of Raul Diaz Arce years ago.

Nice touch. Was that lucky? Just under the bar. If he can do that intentionally, DCU is going after the right guy.

If DCU can sell Gallardo to an Argentine club and get Christian Gomez at half his salary, that should clear enough room to sign Walter Martinez and leave open a summer transfer window option to sign another DP (from Europe hopefully) if the FO choices.

Man forget Gomez and Gallardo, we need something like Martinez to score goals and not choke like Emilio does in international competition. Or hog the ball like Moreno does sometimes well most of the times (and have everyone defending him as a playmaker). You know he has hit that age where every old man thinks they are still young enough run and do what they did when they were 20. hahaha

but we should invest in aquiring Martinez services, he will bolster our attacking front.

niknakdcu's comment points up something missing from the discussion of Goof's musings on Gallardo and Gomez. If Gallardo goes, I'm guessing DC gets to keep the DP slot? If so, then niknakdcu does raise an interesting possibility regarding signing a DP in the next transfer window. I might float one more name there...Veron. He's committed to the Copa Libertadores effort, but he's also said he might look around after the season. He's getting interest even from Serie A clubs, so DCU seems an unlikely destination -- however, given last year's near miss signing, DCU and Veron may not be done yet.

That looked like a handball - didn't he play it with his arm to slow the ball enough to strike it?

Umm, OK ... let's sign him.

you beat me to it hiya... I noticed that when BolivianDCFan posted it yesterday;-) Does look a little handbally.

yeah, hiya, it's close.

That said, however he gained control that's a beautiful shot with reverse swerve to hit the top corner. Keeper had zero chance on that perfectly struck ball.

Peri is off to Spain, Alaves to be specific. I am disappointed. Was hoping to see him at DC.

Sweet lay of the ball off the bounce. Great hairdo. Reminds me of Kid and Play, House Party . . .

""Sin embargo, el club no ha hecho oficial esta transacción.""

Not quite yet. We'll wait until it's official.
