Miami FC players on the move? Gale, Shriver and Ramirez

Thanks to Miami Ultra Robert Scorca who sent us some of the following information concerning Miami FC players on the move.
With the announcement of a New League in the works; Miami FC needs to start rebuilding and so far it seems we have already lost a few players.
Note: Some players still appear on the Miami FC roster. Final word of their moves should come from Miami FC.

First off is Midfielder Brian Shriver who played 6 games for the Blues impressing the stands with his quick witty play. USL reports the Tampa Bay Rowdies have their eye on the Clearwater native who was an all-state performer in High School. He played for the University of North Carolina, reaching the NCAA Men’s College Cup championship game in 2008. Played for Miami FC and made six appearances after being drafted by FC Dallas in the 2009 MLS Super Draft. For more go HERE

Fan favorite Walter Ramirez has his eyes set on a return to his home country Honduras. The speedy defender played 21 games in 2009 and has played with Miami FC since 2006. Walter is well known in Miami playing for amateur teams Real Honduras and Honduras Five Star (Honduras Cinco Estrellas) in the prestigious Florida-based Copa Latina. Look for more information on his future as we pinpoint which team he will go to.

Most notable and expected are reports of US under-20 star and Miami FC player Gale Agbossoumonde. According to Portuguese ABOLA Gale is expected to join Sporting Braga on loan on Nov. 17 to join the club's youth team. This defender who is 6'2 and 185 pounds is impressive for a player who is only just turning 18.

Gale who played 6 games for the Blues was signed by Miami FC owner Traffic sports in a deal that was to see him go to Brazil but it seems he is destined for Europe.

Below you can see video of Gale Agbossoumonde in a little blunder that was to contribute to the end of Miami FC's 2009 playoff dreams. Here's hoping Gale doesn't make this kind of bubu in Europe. At the end of the video you also get a glimpse of an Aaron King goal set up by Brian Shriver.

Blues snap losing streak, still might make playoffs plus Pictures and Video

It took 8 games for Miami FC to finally win one as they came from behind and scored an important victory over the Austin Aztex at FIU Stadium on Saturday. The fans led by the Miami Ultras came out on a wet night and were rewarded with a stellar performance by Midfielder Brian Shriver who was awarded man of the match.

Austin scored first but Leo Inacio Nunes tied the game for the Blues Alan Marcina put the team up 2-1 right before half time. The secon half saw King score the third goal and secured the 3 points. Zinho's new line up proved to be a good one. The additions of Shriver, Pizarro and Aaron King have made a difference. It seems King and Marcina up top is the right formula. Missing was Paulo Jr who in my opinion would mesh well with these new players.Miami lined up with Pat "The Man" Hannigan at goal, Tim Merritt, Junior Baiano, Jack Traynor and Zach "Beowulf" Kirby on Defense. Midfielders Jarryd Goldberg, Leo Inacio, Nelson Pizarro and Brian Shriver. Aaron King and Alen Marcina up top. For more on the game go to the Miami FC site.Miami FC still has a chance to make the playoffs but will need wins to make this happen.
The Blues will play at Lockhart Stadium this Tuesday, Sept. 8th at 8 p.m.

A special mention goes out to JRuiz and his crew who added that special flair with the 305 flag! They also added to the Ultras drum ensemble and were the winners of the Cow Bell tickets. Good job guys and we hope to see you at the rest of the games!

Let's go Miami we can do it! Check out these videos by Ultra Matt:
