Portland Timbers sign Argentine forward Gaston Fernandez, center back Norberto PaparattoThe Portland Timbers did so well the last time they mined Argentina for a MLS difference-maker, they’ve decided to try it again. Twice. The club announced Tuesday that it has signed striker Gastón Fernández and center back Norberto Paparatto, two Argentine players the Timbers are hopeful pay as many dividends as midfielder Diego Valeri did during the club’s transformative year in 2013. Per MLS and club policy, terms of the transactions were not disclosed. The Timbers were first linked to the 30-year-old Fernández (above) late last month, but the official word on Tuesday adds immediate firepower to a front line that appears set to lose Jamaican forward Ryan Johnson overseas. Fernández – who grew up in Lanús, the same hometown as Valeri – is now arguably the team’s top scoring threat, and will compete for time with Frenchman Frederique Piquionne and Argentine Maxi Urruti, traded to Portland from Toronto last year. www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2014/01/15/portland-timbers-sign-argentine-forward-gaston-fernandez-center-back-norbert
