Son of Odin I believe

That’s Thor’s son, Odin’s grandson.

Obligatory Transfermarkt link. Played in every game for Beerschot (Belgian second division) after he was acquired by them last September
Made his debut for Iceland in January in a friendly draw with Estonia but hasn't been called up for a competitive game yet
The last sentence of the Dutch tweet indicates that the transfer fee is unknown
7
Icelandic, eh? Interesting. Do we have one from there yet
4
Nope.
5
Nope. Closest two are Alm and Nilsson from Sweden as another Nordic nation.

For anyone curious about the difference between Nordic and Scandinavian countries, this is a great comic explaining it.

Stroud’s spot?
Edit: Im saying im confused, i dont want stroud to lose his spot.
3
I wouldn’t think so Strouds been pretty solid all year probably depth up top with how long the Klauss injury has lasted
8
Stroud is best on the right, Celio plays primarily on the left.
7
That’s my read. Stroud has been good with 4 goals/4 assists and solid passing accuracy, so this guy’s either great or I don’t get it.
2
Yea. Ima Stroud fan as well. I’m guessing we are getting ready for this second half grind.
5
100% Its a long season, playoffs and a cup run. Giving youngsters like Glover a game is great but we should only welcome depth adds like this.
2
Yeah, I enjoy his intensity. Hope you’re right in that it’s bringing someone to share minutes as the schedule gets busier/allow both to get rest and gear up for a deep MLS Cup run.

I wouldn’t be sad to see Nico Gio take his diving act to the bench area.
-11
Niko has been good and he’s been especially good when he has a big forward to play under. Not sure how big this guy is, but he’s 6’2”.
6
Nico is a cherry picker
-6
He cherry picked his way to the most goals on the team and 9th most goals in MLS

Here's his Wikipedia page.
Sidenote: I hope they use the thorn (Þ) instead of the "Th" on is jersey.
3
It is his first name, not last, but Thorleifur Úlfarsson of Houston uses the anglicized version of his name on all press and social media.
3
Nice. I didn't think it would be included in the MLS style guide, but it looks like there's already a precedent for the Th then.
4
Oh I meant he doesn’t use the thorn
1
Even if Iceland's football league isn't exactly top of the world, it's still notable that in 2022 he was the player of the year and tied for the league's most goals.

He’s pretty young and no experience in the upper European leagues. I imagine this is a back-up signing.
3
Yeah I wouldn't expect him to come in and start. Seems a similar signing to guys like Jackson, hiebert, celio, ect. Unproven but maybe Carnell can get the best out of him.
2
I’m ready for this circus.

Thank you.

23 and playing for a 2nd division Belgian team? Let’s hope this is a CITY 2 depth swing player

Is there a non-Twitter link? You can no longer view tweets without an account.Policy has now been reversed. Details: TechCrunch
Obligatory fuck Musk
Loads fine without logging in if you use Reddit on mobile
Didn’t yesterday
I'll tell the truth, I didn't even try. Great tip, thanks! (Only a matter time before Husk finds out, but I'll take it for now!)
Husky musky hehehehe
That’s not true. You get 600 post views as a non-user. And the platform runs slower for you
They've changed it in the last 48 hours. For the past two months, you weren't able to directly access a Twitter link without logging in. It would just take you to the sign in page, with an option to exit, and when you closed the sign in prompt, it redirected you back to the sign in page.
ETA: The log in requirement was "official" for a day or two, but I'd been experiencing the issue for weeks. Whatever changes were made last week impacted embedded displays on third party sites which opened a whole can of worms, prompting it to be allowed again.
That has absolutely not been my experience, but whatever works, right?
I don't know. At first, I just thought it was something buggy with my phone. Then I thought it was my mobile browser (DDG), so I tried it in Chrome and Firefox, as well as varied browsers on my desktop. I could not find anything written about it anywhere, though. When I posted about it on Masto, several folks said they were experiencing the same. 🤷🏼♀️
Could also have been a blip in time, too? I wasn't exactly trying for 2 months straight. So, when it happened again with an Amber Alert last week I just assumed it had been constant.
I'm not sure where you went for a week because this was the case for everyone without a Twitter account last week. You can see even the mod posted a screenshot because for the last week, no one could read tweets without logging in. Yesterday, they reversed it so you can read them again through third-party apps.
