    Always disappointing when deals that were done fall apart. Crazy biz but that's the biz we are in. Next option may make more sense anyway.

    The more sensible option:
    Northern Ireland International CAM Paddy McCourt

    The Northern Ireland Manager Michael O'neill played for the Timbers back in 2001.

    now some NBC sports blog is hinting a source within the team says the deal could still happen. Chara' deal was thought to be dead at one point as well #crossingfingers

    he looked good on the highlight of his goal I will give you that. Cant speak for the rest of the game though.

    But on his goal he displayed a first touch I havent seen from him before. :)

    I don't think of Dike as a guy who earns many style points, but that goal deserves a few :)

    I hope he makes the ACN roster so I'll have a team to watch in the tournament.
