Why is he still in the US? He was made available and went to FC Dallas instead.
Extremely limited technically we were told. That’s not the type of player we want surely.
Do you have any quotes that he was "extremely limited technically" ?
Not that many US players transfer to Europe and most are young.
[United States national team winger Paul Arriola was acquired by FC Dallas from D.C. United on Wednesday for a Major League Soccer record of $2 million in general allocation money.]
Shrewd bit of work by Jason Levien for such a "limited" player. The US team n must be crap but I bet it is not. Their U21 team had Wales chasing shadows for 90 mins.

Sure.
When the news broke the Americans came onto the forum to tell us about him:
“Love the puns--the main Sounders board (where Morris is from) is the land of Puns (sounderatheart). Anyhow, Arriola is a very hardworking, honest winger who gets playing time with the US National Team because he's so feisty and tracks back. Not a great passer, not a game changer. Solid, can help, but I wouldn't get too excited about him. He's not Morris”
……..
“ Yep, for club and country he's known primarily as a "legs and lungs" guy. You can count on him to run himself into the ground, and do so at speed.
Not super duper technically gifted, but is going to scrap the whole 90, and put himself in the right place, reliably. Has probably been the hardest worker on every team he's ever played on.”
……..
Sounds like a poor mans Robbie Savage with pace. Not the type of player you have been championing for Swansea. The opposite.

There is a big difference between "extremely limited technically" (which I assumed you had picked up from Swansea city club insider) and "Not super duper technically gifted" off a US forum.

Is there?
So you only accept opinions from Swansea insiders? Not the people that watched him throughout his career?
Interesting.
