Its Gabriel Cichero, Not Innes

Like a dope, I thought Osorio was thinking of trying out Chris Innes again for that left back spot. I definitely ruled out the one time trialist Gabriel Cichero, Venezuelan National, especially after the organization deemed him to be too expensive.

Slow down, says La Vinotinto.

According to Cichero himself, the Red Bulls and his current club Italia will be making an announcement come this Wednesday about a loan agreement. He said that is all he knows.

The article also mentions how Cichero has been heavily pursued by Colombian clubs, but the fact that Osorio has actually gone to see him and speak with him, pursuing him persistantly in the middle of a season flattered the young defender. Remember all the talk we heard of Osorio’s recruiting skills and connections? With Rojas, and possibly Cichero in tow, we are starting to see that magic at work.

So it looks like Red Bulls will be ready to make the second of their expected three moves – and the forward spot is all that remains.

What do you think about the rumored inclusion of Cichero? Will it be enough?
