Goldberg today: Ogle, Pogarch, Charley signed as replacements, Onumonu, Weber waived


Per Jaime Goldberg:

"The Portland Thorns have signed forward Simone Charley, midfielder Emily Ogle and defender Madison Pogarch to their supplemental roster. The Thorns have also waived forwards Ifeoma Onumonu and Mallory Weber.

Forward Hayley Raso has received her green card and will no longer occupy an international roster spot, while midfielders Andressinha and Angela Salem have been added to the club’s active roster ahead of Saturday’s match against the Orlando Pride."

It's interesting that Charley - who looked impressive in preseason last year and did well this year - returns and Onumonu - who didn't look particularly effective this year - did not. The interesting piece of this is the release of Weber, who has been the Thorns Swiss Army Knife now for several seasons.

Raso getting her residency is extremely helpful given that without it the problem of too many internationals and too few slots would have arisen with the return of Andressinha, however brief.
