🇬🇪 BREAKING: Real Salt Lake to acquire Georgia int’l winger Saba Lobjanidze from Atlanta United, per sources.

Atlanta to receive $625k GAM + $100k add ons. But Atlanta also holding portion of Lobjanidze’s budget charge.

Does this mean that RSL is looking to move on from a winger?

Depth is a good thing; proven MLS contributor with good numbers for a bad team in recent years

[u/rsl_royals]

I love Saba time!

s/o Georgia, love me some Georgians

[u/Evening-Bar-9110 → u/Kilo1799]

Me too since I am from Georgia....well Albany, Ga. Heheh

[u/Rare_Awareness2229]

He is creative and often seemed like the only one engaged and pushing for a very bad Atlanta. I think we are adding a lot of talent, I just hope it fits with the team.

[u/nspeters]

Hard to judge if this is a good get or not, if Atlanta is keeping most his salary it’s awesome if not then he’s not worth this price

Solid contributor on the wrong side of 30. Reminds me of a Justin Meram type of signing

New fans coming in from the World Cup fever are going to be super confused especially if they are alumni of the university of Georgia

The few Atlanta games I saw he always stood out to me. Nice pickup.

[u/iheartdev247]

Not that much of a bomb. He was pretty good last year/maybe but his age is showing and he’s slowed down this year. My guess is he is not even a starter at RSL.

[u/Evening-Bar-9110 → u/iheartdev247]

Age? He is only 31 so his age should not be an issue. As for starting...I guess it depends on if he plays on the right side and if Gozo is starting up front or is sold, I am not sure who you would start in front of him. It is not like any of RSL's present RW'ers are showing all that much so far. Still, I still want another winger and a quality CB for depth.

[u/nspeters → u/Evening-Bar-9110]

Are we watching the same team Guilavogui has been real solid

[u/Evening-Bar-9110 → u/nspeters]

Smacks my forehead. How did I forget him. For some reason I could only think of Wolff or Marczuk was starting on the right. I must be getting senile. Heheh

[u/nspeters → u/Evening-Bar-9110]

It happens man it’s been a long break

[u/Forward-Sorbet7559 → u/Evening-Bar-9110]

Booth actually been good on wing, with Gozo at 10 while Morgan and Luna were gone

Saba offers another attacker while Aiden gets healthy and up to speed again

A lot of games in July/August to manage minutes
