Joel Lindpere (107/7)

[ElNino9]

In December 2012 it was reported that Luyindula would be terminating his contract with PSG to sign with New York Red Bulls.

The Chicago Fire were in the market for some help in central midfield and they have just found it in a player who is leaving a team that didn’t seem to value him in a central role.

The Fire have acquired Joel Lindpere from the New York Red Bulls in exchange for an international roster spot for the 2013 season, sources with knowledge of the deal confirmed to SBI on Friday.

Vot kus vops.
Ilmselt võtab nüüd saatuse irooniana NYRB lõpuks MLS-i tiitli ka ära sel hooajal. Ja milliste järjekordsete nimede kõrval jääb ära võimalus pallida...

edit: Lisanduvad tutvused muidugi selliste nimedega nagu Guillermo Franco ja Arne Friedrich ehk mõni kuum nimi veel tulekul.

Punastel Pullidel oli vaja teha ruumi uutele ja nimekatele võõrmängijatele. Arvestades seda, et Lindpere viimane hooaeg oli kaugel parimatest, siis tegelikult ju üsna mõistetav samm klubi poolt.

Äkki õnnestub taas oma mäng leida ja end ka Fire fännide südametesse raiuda.

Pole üldsegi paha üleminek. Tänavu oleks New Yorkis mänguaega ilmselt vähemaks jäänud. Las liitub meeskonnaga, kes teda rohkem väärtustada oskab.

First, a warm welcome to the newest member of the Chicago Fire, midfielder Joel Lindpere.

The move to acquire the Estonian international was met with pretty high praise from your's truly, considering all that was exchanged was an international roster spot. Also consider that the guy has scored a few goals against the Fire since coming to MLS (three to be exact and four if you count a preseason goal he scored back in 2011).

That aside, here are five other reasons I can really appreciate the move for the club's latest addition...

- He’s the very definition of an iron man – In a total of 108 MLS regular season matches he’s been eligible for over the last three seasons, Lindpere has appeared in exactly 107 games, the most of any MLS player in that time span. That also includes goalkeepers.

Players on the current Fire roster with comparable MLS appearances over the last three MLS seasons: Dominic Oduro (93 with Chicago/Houston), Patrick Nyarko (91, Chicago), Logan Pause (87, Chicago) and Wells Thompson (79, Colorado/Chicago).

- There’s a certain swagger he has… He looks intimidating and the Estonian international has a certain bite that backs up the way he carries himself. His aggression and ability in the attack reminds me a bit of Dema Kovalenko, though with a few less yellow cards.…

- He has a pretty powerful left foot – Watch the video below. He’s a threat in crossing the ball but can also unleash a pretty powerful shot. Combine this acquisition with that of Maicon Santos and the power in attack has been greatly upgraded.

- Competition (and rest) on the Wings – The biggest knock against the Fire in 2012 was the perceived lack of enough squad rotation. By season’s end, the team looked a little bit tired and perhaps slightly predictable. With the likes of Nyarko, Alvaro Fernandez, Alex, Wells Thompson and even the potential return of Corben Bone, the attacking midfield options available to Klopas in times of heavy fixture congestion have been upgraded as well.

- Good Results from transactions with Red Bull – Back in 2007 when Fire owner Andrew Hauptman filed tampering charges with New York relating to the Juan Carlos Osorio affair, the team received the Red Bulls’ first round selection in the 2008 MLS SuperDraft which the team used to select the-ever dangerous Patrick Nyarko.

Just about a year ago, the Fire traded the rights of defender Wilman Conde to Red Bull in exchanged for an undisclosed, but rumored to be high amount of allocation money that presumably went towards the acquisitions of defender Arne Friedrich and forward Chris Rolfe.

Not a bad track record…

PS! Kas kuskil on uuendatud Joeli USA-tripi kaarti ka?

Eile õnnestus pokkerilaua taga Joeliga paar sõna vahetada ja tema rääkis sellist juttu, et küsis Red Bullsis keskvälja kohta, mitte äärel. Red Bulls keeldus seda Joelile pakkumast ja kuna Joel saab Chicago Fire'i peatreeneriga väga hästi läbi, siis lepiti selline lahendus kokku. Lisaks olevat Chicago üliilus linn.

Päris huvitav suhe fännide ja klubi vahel. Iga fännirühmituste poolt müüdud pileti maksumusest saab fännirühmitusi ühendav MTÜ Section 8 klubilt protsendi endale, hooajapiletilt 10 taala, üksikpilet oli vist 75 senti. Raha kasutatakse atribuutikaks, banneriteks, lippudeks ... ja muuseas ka püroks.

Kui on klubil poolakatest ultragrupp, Fire Ultras 98, siis möllab tulekahju ka tribüünidel:

Huvitav, kas uuest hooajast saab siis K12 vahendusel ka Chicago Fire mänge jälgida?

[Kaurr]

Arvamused läksid nagu alati kaheks.
Aga eks paistab kuidas ta Fires hakkama saab.

Ellviidatud foorumis võtab üks fänn tabavalt asja kokku:

I love Lindpere but it was agonizing seeing him on the field at times not being able to get by his defender or get open enough, especially knowing the quality he has. That being said he did produce some magic here and there but at 200k it's just not enough.

Kehtib paraku päris täpselt ka Lindpere koondises näidatud esituste kohta sageli.

Aga edu igatahes Joelile seal Tuulises Linnas.
