Rest assured, Maxime Crépeau is no panic buy

It's safe to say that Orlando City's search for their new man between the sticks has been a turbulent one, but it appears to finally be at an end.

A month-and-a-half after Pedro Gallese's six-year spell in purple came to a sour conclusion, it seemed for all the world as if Carlos Coronel would be the one to take up the gloves after failing to agree to a new deal with New York Red Bulls.

But it wasn't to be. After verbally agreeing a move to the City Beautiful and even passing a medical, the 29-year-old reversed course in favour of a return to his native Brazil, seemingly more willing to warm the bench there than to uphold his credentials as one of the top goalkeepers in Major League Soccer.
