If he gets in he will have a good run since defence is such a joke. Plus judging balls off of astroturf will maybe make him an even better shot stopper.I think the fact he's a UK-US dual citizen may have played into this. A few other observations:
Their no1 has 66 caps for Peru so he may not play many games.
MLS is an odd league. It looks like the Championship played at 1.5x speed. Good thing is that the style is quite British- ie lots of crosses, and keepers aren't mollycoddled like they are on the continent.
It's also a brutal schedule. Orlando will play away in places like Montreal, Toronto, Boston, NYCx2 (at least - maybe Vancouver and LA x2 depending on the fixture computer) which have very different climates to south Florida. Clubs are also only allowed to charter planes for 4 journeys a year so there's lots of waiting around for connecting flights.
Standards of physical fitness is generally extremely high - the yanks take their sports seriously.
Having read all that I don't think that makes the loan decision any clearer - certainly one to keep an eye on.
Harvey White on at ht for Portsmouth...getting tonked 3-0 at home to Hull.
Looks like that's all it was...just gossip.Wasn't there gossip that Muir was leaving?
We were pretty poor at developing talent in those yearsFuture England captain per Rio Ferdinand
where did it all go wrong ?
Not sure we want him as a club trained player !

Bostock came from Palace, and then his career completely stalled.
Wasn't there a player we took from QPR's academy about the same time where the same thing happened?
Thankfully we've improved immeasurably since those crap daysYes, Dean Parrett.
Yes, Dean Parrett.
Dean Parrett - Wikipedia

Wealdstone
Parrett joined Wealdstone on 21 November 2020 on a non-contract basis.
Barnet
The following month, the Stones allowed Parrett to begin talks with Barnet over a move. Parrett joined the Bees on a short term deal on 12 December 2020. He was released on 8 January 2021 after only two appearances
Lots and lots of these through the years.When he was in u23's Parrett looked quite decent (nothing like as good as we had been led to believe when he first joined), but has picked up quite a few injuries over the years which may well have sent him backwards.
We tried buying a few youngsters to fast track ourselves including E u16 centre forward Michael Malcolm - Wikipedia and a speedy winger E u16 Owen Price (footballer) - Wikipedia both standout youth prospects at the time, and I rather recall Spurs paid 6 figure sums for both. Price I think had quite a few injuries whilst with us, both disappeared after Jol joined I think.

However easy it is to blame development staff, serious qyestions should be asked from the scouting staff.
Few of these players made it anywhere, sometimes barely even making pro careers.
Thyer, Dixon, Parrett, etc.
It's only post Jol that they started making it to the first team, then to other clubs in the PL or Champo.
Realistically we should be very proud of constantly churning out someone like O'Hara, Livermore, Mason, Bentaleb, Caulker, Carroll, Townsend and a few others on PL level.
I am anxious to see where it will go now both of Inglethorpe and McD is gone.
