The tale of Argentinian players on the Portland Timbers is very much a hot and cold story. For every Diego Valeri, there is a Gaston Fernandez. For every Sebastian Blanco, there is a Lucas Melano (who somehow got two chapters in this story). It seems that for every player from the South American country that transfers in that hits and becomes a star, there is another player who fizzles and never hits the heights expected of them.
Tomas Conechny is the latest player to encompass the latter, and fulfill that unfortunate outcome.
The team announced this week that the player and club have mutually chosen to part ways, ending the now 22-year-old player’s time in Rose City after just three seasons, two years after his loan was made permanent.
