Armenian striker Yura Movsysian on Real Salt Lake’s radar

Real Salt Lake head coach Jeff Cassar has indicated he is interested in bringing striker Yura Movsisyan back to the Major League Soccer club, according to
Movsisyan made 53 appearances and scored 15 goals for Real Salt Lake between 2007 and 2009, winning the MLS Cup in his final season at the club.

Cassar told local radio station ESPN700 that Movsisyan, who currently plays for Spartak Moscow, is one of a number of options the Utah-based club are looking at during the summer transfer window.

“Yura’s a player we’re very familiar with,” Cassar said of the Armenia international.

“Obviously we won a championship when he was here. He’s gone on to do fantastic things.

“But we are in contact with him, as well as with a lot of players on their status with their clubs, or if they’re a free agent.

“He’s just one player that we’re interested in, but at the end of the day, he belongs to another team.”

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
