Sorry, far too deep for me.

Good question. The official site said he'll start training immediately, which suggests he hasn't trained with us yet. It appears that he played his final game for Portland on December 6th then flew to London on the 9th. Hopefully he wasn't too indulgent over Christmas, and will be available to play straight away when his clearance comes through.
Nope, let's sit in soulless silence instead as you wish,

Apparently he was joking.

I've asked a friend, who is a West Brom fan, what he was like with them.
Mmm not a bad defender prone to the odd mistake decent at getting forward and puts in a decent cross
Sounds like he'll fit in well with our defence.

As someone who currently lives in Portland, this makes me happy. IMO, the MLS has improved dramatically in recent years - and especially in places like Portland and Seattle, this has translated into virtually all games selling out... which has definitely led to an excellent home atmosphere in the (mostly mediocre) stadia.
Portland's team has been getting steadily better, and in Ridgewell they've found the leader they've been so obviously lacking in recent years.
Standards-wise.. the MLS is a very wide league. There are a couple of teams that'd probably do OK in the lower reaches of the Premier League, most of the teams would be mid/low Championship, and the handful of stragglers would probably struggle in our League One.

Oh ffs! I don't want monastical silence - I'd love to hear AL-BEE-YON rolling down the terraces as it did at the Goldstone (on good days anyway!) Or songs. Or other loud enthusiasm.
It's just that attempts to engineer crowd participation haven't always gone all that well, so I ironically mentioned two of what are in my opinion the worst ever - vuvuzelas and clackers. However, if you're in favour of vuvuzelas and clackers - just count me out!

Portland fans are amazing. Playing at the Amex library is going to be quite the culture shock!
Not at all but if you tried to use some of the ideas PTFC are using you would meet exactly the same opposition and classes as tinpot.

Great signing, a real tonic after last night's disappointment.

That looks brilliant.
Imagine what the old skool fans would say if anyone tried to get a bit of coordination going in the north stand though.

Wonder what the ref would do if Bobby Z got a chain saw out to celebrate a goal as happens in the Portland Timbers derby video?
Booking for taking your shirt off so heaven knows what would happen for that sort of celebration!!!

First reaction was a very solid, well thought out, piece of business by the club.
Then I see universal praise for it on NSC and start to get a bit worried.
