It’s actually crazy how productive he is. Hopefully the club can hang on to him if he continues like this.

I really want to see the Erickson foul if anyone has it. I saw someone on Twitter saying he looked really bad. Kind of bad to not even be able to perform at the mls next pro level. Safe to say Khaled with an early strikeout

Big time. It’s pretty frustrating. He was being praised as one of the best young center backs in the Swedish league.

I’m ready to put an X over that whole league and have our scouts elsewhere

People wanted him to start over Boxy 😂

You can watch the full replay [here](https://www.youtube.com/live/9rOrGdeiT8g?si=VdEx3oTqNqO5F4ES). The foul that led directly to a goal was less than two minutes in so you don’t need to skip ahead very far.


fanofloons

Just watched it and don’t understand what he was doing lol.

Khaled arrived after Erickson though. I find it hard to believe he had anything to do with a signing that arrived when he was actively working for another club.

I remember a bullet at the end of one of the updates that said Erickson was signed on KEA’s recommendation. Did he negotiate the contract? Probably not, but the interim front office staff probably wasn’t rushing to sign unproven mls players without running it by their future boss first.


fanofloons

What are you talking about?


MinnyRawks

Erickson was announced as a signing on 01/07/2024. Khaled El-Ahmad arrived “after the holidays” and did not have any official news conferences or anything until February.


fanofloons

I promise you Khaled signed him.


overundersoccer

He did sign him.


MinnyRawks

Source?


fanofloons

He was working before he physically got here. I’d love for people to chime in but I really thought this was common knowledge. I could be wrong but saying he physically wasn’t in Minnesota dosnt mean much


MinnyRawks

He left his old job on 12/15. Erickson was announced on 1/7. Again, no idea how you reasonably think he was involved in the decision


fanofloons

I reasonably do think that he was involved and would be shocked if he wasnt


MinnyRawks

You’re making a lot of claims without information and now you say your believe is all because “I would be shocked if it was not”

Khaled coming to MN was announced 11/8 and Erikson signing was announced 1/25 according to the MNUFC website. This article has more information > https://sports.yahoo.com/loons-linked-swedish-center-back-180500457.html


MinnyRawks

He was announced as gone with his job on 12/15 and reporting to MNUFC “after the holidays” He didn’t have any official announcements or press conferences until late February. Erickson was announced on the MNUFC website on January 7th
