Dont be so gender specific! 😁

Anyway, not our first Dane, but our first Danish acquisition:

Royer was acquired from Denmark, was he not?

Throw in that it's against a team from the DR to boot. It sucks, but I really can't blame them for not markering it.

The problem is that you can't get a proven striker to come here to back up BWP.

Guldbrandsen went back to Salzburg and played great. He was certainly good enough for MLS, but didn't want to stick around to be BWP's backup.

I've wanted an 'Alan Gordon' backup for awhile, but that doesn't seem to be in the cards. If you don't go that route, you have to go for young prospects who might be able to take over for BWP down the road. I know nothing about this guy, but it seems like he has a lot of upside.

Surprised RBNY wasn't in the mix for this guy, it fits their MO:

He's a CB who can sort of play out left. There really isn't a need for him here...at least on the wages which he'll command. He makes a lot more sense for Atlanta to spell an aging Parkhurst or slide into a 3 man backline.

arguably the best player in MLS, Josepf Martinez, says he is staying with ATL for as long as they want him too. He without a doubt must have interest from foreign clubs. So yea, not everyone is looking to bolt for greener grass.

Martinez also already had his shot at Europe and didn't really make an impact at Torino. He took a step back by going to Atlanta. He could still go back to Europe, of course, but his situation is very different than that of Kaku.
