Incoming Goalie… or forward? Roberto Nurse to Chivas USA
By: Alex | July 15th, 2008So rumor has it that a young buck from Saprissa is on his way up to fill in for El Guzano. A little more than a rumor, seeing how it came from Vegara. A young keeper by the name of Keilor Navas.
As we all wait patiently, Chivas USA reinforced their attack.
What? Where did that come from? At least it will squash those Ruiz rumors.
Here’s the scoop strait from Chivas USA.
CARSON, Calif. (Tuesday, July 15, 2008) – Chivas USA today announced the signing of 24-year-old forward Roberto Nurse, a three-year veteran of Mexico’s First Division, as an international player. Nurse, who has been training with the Red-and-White since early June, is eligible to play for Chivas USA pending receipt of his International Transfer Certificate. Chivas USA faces Santos Laguna of the Mexican First Division tomorrow night at 7:00 p.m. PT at The Home Depot Center, in a must-win Group B match of the SuperLiga 2008 international tournament.
“Roberto is a strong, powerful center forward who we’ve been taking a close look at for the past few weeks,” said Chivas USA Head Coach Preki. “He’s good in the air, good with his feet, and will add another dimension to our attack. We’re happy to have him in the squad.”
Born on December 16, 1983, in Mexico City, Nurse is a three-year veteran of the Mexican First Division, having made his top-flight debut with Cuernavaca in 2003 at the age of 19. From 2003-2005, he spent two years in Mexico’s Primera ‘A’ division, first with Zacatepec (2003-2004) then Querétaro (2004-2005). Nurse returned to the First Division in 2005, playing 13 games with Atlante from 2005-2006, and then back to recently promoted Querétaro from 2006-2007, when he played 19 games for the ‘Gallos Blancos.’ From 2007-2008, he was Querétaro’s leading goalscorer in the Primera ‘A’, registering a total of 17 goals between the Apertura 2007 and Clausura 2008 seasons. Nurse’s father, Roberto Tomás, is a native of Panama City, and his mother, Marcela, is originally from Guadalajara, Mexico.

But seriously, is this Goaltender/keeper/Goalie/Guy any good? Should we believe Vegara? He is known to … talk.
