Transfer Talk: Richard Foster and Jon Daly
Not one but two transfer rumors concerning the Philadelphia Union have surfaced. But should fans be excited? Let's take a look.
A rumor surfaced on the BBC’s website that Rangers FC defender Richard Foster had been identified by the Philadelphia Union as a possible transfer target during the summer transfer window.
I spoke with a friend of mine who happens to be the original publisher of Rangers Report – a Rangers FC blog. He had this to say about the duo:
If there’s something the Union doesn’t need at the moment (besides another goalkeeper), it’s a right back and an aging striker who can’t go a full 90. For Foster, I feel that between Sheanon Williams and Ray Gaddis being a 1-1a tandem, the Union are set for a while at the right back position. Even if they were to lose one or the other due to a trade, there’d still be little reason to bring in someone new when there’s already a perfectly suitable player at the position that doesn’t eat an international slot. As for Daly, I don’t see the need for another Conor Casey since the Union already has the original Conor Casey – especially for the price Daly would command (not to mention the use of another international slot). If you’re selling these rumors, I’m not buying.
