Quote:Player News and Notes: Hounds Linked with Experienced DefenderPosted on 12/05/2013 by Chris Esposito There is a rumor circulating that the Hounds have been in contact with the representatives of recently released defender David Carney. David, who’s played for an impressive list of clubs in the past, was released by New York (MLS) early last week. He appeared in 9 games after being reunited with fellow countryman Tim Cahill, including 2 playoff matches where he struggled vs Houston. David is a left-footed player who can play both left back and left midfield. From all indications, he was a disappointment in New York but should have plenty in the tank to contribute significantly at the USL Pro level. Do the Riverhounds have enough moxie to capture a player who’s played for the likes of Sheffield United, Norwich City, FC Twente and Blackpool over the past 5 years? Only time will tell. The Riverhonds back-line struggled for consistency last season despite the efforts of CB Andrew Marshall and starting LB and team captain Richie Costanzo. Adding an experienced defender to compliment Marshall or replace Costanzo could go a long way to solidifying the defense. Carney also has experience playing left wing, another position that the Hounds are looking to upgrade. If we do capture the former Australian international we’ll be very interested to see how things work out. http://steelarmypgh.com/2013/12/player-news-and-notes-hounds-linked-with-experienced-defender/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter So, who to believe? SST or a supporters group? :lol:

From what I've been told, these guys are kind of a feeder club for the Houston Dynamo.

The USL seems to be the governing body for some shit house Pro, semi-pro, women's and indoor leagues. He would sign with the USL hence they have control of where he plays. If they don't like him he could literally end up playing indoor... Edited by Dinosmum: 10/12/2013 01:34:38 PM

Don't believe it. Surely the money on offer there wouldn't be that good.

Does this guy have a tax issue or a criminal history that prevents him from playing football professionally here in Australia?
There is no other explanation plausible that explains why he tries overseas, with no success.

Don't look too much into that, pretty much Houston are required to loan 4 players out to them during the season so they can get some game time and they can be called back whenever. Orlando play in USL (won't in 2015 :)) and had the same relationship with Kansas City.

something just doesn't make sense here, he said an offer was on the table from NY. Any offer from NY would have been better than this
