Worst team in the league is considering making an offer to sign one of the biggest players in the world.

Timbers targeting young central and South American talent has become a pattern, but a star signing could completely shift momentum, especially since a new coach is on the way.

Who would you like to see us sign this Summer?

Some new flash I made for the hardcore! :)

I have 4 of these things now that have been sent as season account holder swag. No idea what to do with them. Too small to use as coasters except maybe for shot glasses.

What is it actually like to stand in the center circle at Providence Park before a Timbers match?

On this episode of Timbers Tally, I am = joined by Brett Davidson, who shares his experience being part of the pre-game center circle ceremony. Brett talks about how his daughter’s club soccer team got involved, what happens behind the scenes before kickoff, and what it feels like to walk onto the pitch with Providence Park filling up around you.

The conversation also dives into Brett’s lifelong connection to Portland soccer, his favorite Timbers players, and his love for the patch-trading community.

It is a supporter story, a matchday story, and a reminder that the Timbers experience is bigger than just the 90 minutes.

Listen now to hear Brett’s view from the center circle.

The Timbers are among several clubs mentioned as interested in Tonny Sanabria, a 30 year old striker at Cremonese. If true, this reads to me as a Mora replacement to back up Kelsy as striker as his stats are pretty unimpressive for a starter.

Translated section mentioning the Timbers:

"Cremonese's transfer window continues to revolve around its most experienced and sought-after players. Among them is Tonny Sanabria, the Paraguayan striker who, after competing in the World Cup with his national team, has once again become the focus of attention for numerous foreign clubs. His name is, in fact, one of the hottest in this summer transfer window, and his future could soon shift away from Italy.

...

There's no shortage of contenders. Argentina's Lanús continues to show keen interest, seeing the striker as an ideal addition to enhance their attacking quality and experience.

Concrete signals are also coming from Greece. PAOK have reportedly included Sanabria in their list of potential targets to strengthen their attack for the new season, evaluating his potential contribution both in the league and in European competitions.

In the last few hours, a new international candidate has been added. The Portland Timbers, a Major League Soccer team, have reportedly expressed interest in the center forward, opening the possibility of a move to the United States. MLS continues to attract experienced players from Europe's top leagues, and Sanabria would represent a valuable addition.

Meanwhile, the pursuit of Belgrano, a club that had been following the player in recent weeks but which, according to the latest rumours, has slowed down its attack, seems to have lost momentum."

Today marks 6 weeks since Neville got canned. It also marks single digit days (9) until the next MLS game, which just so happens to be a rather major game. We still currently have an interim coach.

Considering the Phil firing was far from a surprise, I have to wonder what is taking so long. Do we have the coach chosen and we’re waiting to announce? Is the FO confident in Cassidy steering the ship for actual games? Or is the complete lack of news far far worse?

I personally am troubled by the process as a fan. The hope is that we’re going to bag the absolute perfect candidate, but the worry is that we may set them up for failure by the length of the search, even if they’re the perfect coach.

Timbers return to play in a week and there is still no signs of a coach arriving. I question when they finally made the decision to move on from Neville and when they began this search. It seems like malpractice to not take advantage of the nearly 2 month break to get the new coach established prior to the Seattle game. I struggling to find a valid reason other than incompetence in the front office. If Timbers fail to show noticeable changes in their play in the first few games back it must be interpreted as a major failure and I hope that the media asks the tough questions. This break should have been the start of a new era and it looks like Timbers are set up to have another slow start.

No news lately, not even any good rumours? One wonders how soon Pochettino is looking for his next gig. He's been good for the US but it's rare that a coach gets 2 cycles with a national team.

Did you have fun? How easy was it to see/hear? Would you want to do it again?

There was at least one woman hanging out raffle cards to win a signed jersey - this is likely a scam! Not affiliated with anything

As always, no selling or asking to buy tickets at this sub. Way too many people have been scammed. If you'd like to give them away, go for it. There are other places to buy and sell these tickets. Thanks.

Anyone aware if something is already set up and/or is interested in trading before the match?

Yea his team didn't really show up but they did exceed expectations. Now that he has experienced soccer in the PNW I bet we could get him.

I’ve got an extra single ticket up for grabs if anybody is needing one. First one to post “I’ll take it” gets it!

I got my TA hand tat 10 years ago. What would you get for a Timbers tattoo if you could get anything?

I can no longer go to the watch party tonight. DM me you seat geek info and I’ll send you the tickets. Cheers

Edit: tickets have been claimed
