Timbers receive TAM from Dallas

This morning, after a few days of speculation, FC Dallas finally inked former Timbers defender Norberto Paparatto. With CONCACAF Champions League matches coming up (including one this Thursday), Paparatto is expected to provide some depth to the backline. He could also see some regular season MLS action should the team continue to widen its points total over the rest of the West and Óscar Pareja decides to keep his team well rested for a playoff run. Paparatto will reunite with former Timber and fellow Argentine Maxi Urruti, so there is bound to both plenty of shenanigans and mate for all.
