Transfermarkt and Soccerway both have Stanese with Gaz Metan now, with the transfer occuring on Aug 25. 
http://www.transfermarkt.de/daniel-stanese/profil/spieler/189027
also confirmed by the club http://www.gazistul.ro/2016/08/gaz-metan-si-luat-fundas-de-la-fc.html

The club is from Navarra which belongs to the greater basque country(historically speaking.

Here it is:
 

Just so you're clear, It was actually Grizzly who stated Deportivo was a yo-yo club, not me.
I was simply restating what he actually said to you, because you clearly ignored the vast majority of it. Ironically, you accused him of ignoring your detailed post, funny that.
By the way, Deportivo has spent 45 seasons in the top flight and 39 in the second division. That is not to say they aren't a great club with a lot of history and all but let me ask, was Grizzly wrong to call them a yo-yo club based on the facts? Before you answer, emotionally detach yourself so that you can answer with logic. In that way, your feelings won't get hurt again and we can enjoy some reasonable dialog. Everybody wins.
As for Sam, glad that he's still under contract with a La Liga club.
Edit: Yo-yo doesn't necessarily mean they aren't held in high esteem. It just means they have bounced around. It seems like the only person who is attaching a negative connotation to the word "yo-yo" is you. 

Actually no, Grizzly also pointed out that Deportivo was (and currently still is) a yo yo club, outside of a golden decade. You never even acknowledged that in your response. 
This was neither said nor implied by Grizzly. He never mentioned West Ham or Burnley once in his post.
I think you are downplaying the achievements of Mario Gomez this year. 27 goals in the Turkish league was so impressive that it saw him get recalled into the German national team. When he was a 10 - 12 goal striker with Fiorentina in Serie A, he was overlooked for the national team.
By the way, his Europa League scoring rate at Fiorentina was 3 goals in 14 games, while at Besiktas it was 2 goals in 5 games. So he has a better strike rate at Besiktas in the same competition, which is counter evidence to your suggestion that he only scored so much because Turkey is much weaker than the top leagues.
So, did Mario Gomez actually improve in Turkey ? Or, did Germany recall him because he's in goal scoring form? Either way, one thing is clear, playing at Besiktas has given him more value to the German team national team and perhaps that's evidence that Besiktas (right now) is a better level than you care to admit? Playing at better levels makes you more valuable to your national team and often wins you a call up, we all know this.
I don't think Atiba and his lack of Urgency is in anyway a result of playing in Turkey. That is just a flaw in his personal game. I understand what you're saying, but can you provide an example using at least 1 other player who's suffered from this as a result of playing in Turkey? Otherwise, you are connecting dots that are not there...

I can't get confirmation on the other club's site, but according to CS Longueuil, Goalkeeper Mario Raytchev has signed at Locomotiv Plovdiv. He won the U-18 Canadian Championship last year. I wouldn't be surprised that Karamfil Ilchev, a Bulgarian goalkeeper who was coaching at CS Longueuil helped with the move. 
Here's the link.

I have a memory and my memory tells me that Deportivo had an exceptionally strong period in its history in the early 90s to early 2000's both in the league and European play but previous to that and since then has been mostly a yo yo club between the first and second division and usually a mid to lower table team when it is in La Liga. Not that that is bad or that playing for them would not be a great achievement for Piette but if we are going to compare them, Besiktas has consistently been one of the top Turkish league teams while Deportivo has as often as not been in the 2nd division. But yes if folks like you have a memory that only remembers 1992-2004 Deportivo they were indeed a stronger team during most of that period. In general though Besiktas has been and is currently the stronger team and are the reigning Turkish Champions while Deportivo was only 4 points away from getting relegated this season. One would think someone who is such a big soccer fan and lives in Spain would have some memory of Spanish soccer history.

Pedro Pacheco got a nice mention in this article on football in the Azores. Santa Clara saved themselves from relegation to Portugal's third tier this year:

LOK Leipzig will be officially promoted in 3 days (or earlier if they win tomorrow) to the 4th division after getting awarded a win for a cancelled game. The decision goes into effect in 3 days so it is not yet official and the opposing team Schott Jena can appeal but apparently will not do so. The game was cancelled out of security concerns as last weekend was a holiday and Jena did not have adequate police to provide security for a game with LOK and all their mostly far-right hooligan fans. The league awarded the points to LOK because it is Schott's responsibility to provide adequate security (the club most likely thought it was too expensive to provide private security to make up for the lack of police and didn't want to risk the expense of stadium damage for a game that was meaningless to them). There is something wrong with being awarded a match because your club has a lot of hooligans although to be fair LOK did offer to hold the game in their own stadium and were turned down by the league.  As much as I hate LOK, it is nice to see Julien Latendresse-Levesque get back into a decent playing level. He played 90 minutes every game this year for LOK except for the 5 games he was suspended because of a fight.

Elvir Gigolaj is now playing for FC London in League1 Ontario.

A source tells me that Baggio Zidane Maradona is playing for Ethnic SC in the Toronto Immigrant Soccer League 2nd Division.

I can confirm that Canucks Abroad guy is full of shit.

^ You remind me of the joke:
"People in Russia are brainwashed by their state tv"
"How do you know"
"I heard it on the BBC"
The western media is not only incredibly biased but also very controlled though the manner of control is not exactly the same as it is in Russia. I have lived in 4 countries, Germany, Canada, Russia and the US. The television is biased and controlled in all 4 countries with the US being by far the worst. Print media is more free in all countries than the television including Russia though still controlled as well. I am sure you must watch a lot of Russian tv and read a lot of Russian newspapers to be able to compare. Or is your source of information on Russian media our media?
Where did I say there was no knowledge to be gained from books? However, if you are going to get knowledge from books you should read a wide variety of books with different viewpoints not just ones that present one side. I myself have read a lot about Chechnya from all viewpoints (I used to even read the Islamic rebels website). Not to mention I have actually been in Russia during several key events of the conflict such as the Beslan school siege (not only a horrible crime but a horrible strategic blunder by the rebels, killing children does not get you support anywhere and lost them a lot of their own local support) and the black widow plane bombings. But if you really want to know the truth about an issue it is even better to actually talk with people from the place that have actually experienced the events first hand. That is not to say that everything they are going to say is true or not biased but at least it is first hand. I can also guarantee that these same people who don't have the opinion we want to hear or better said those who control our media want us to hear are not going to be interviewed on our tv or in a western documentary about Kadyrov.
As for the people in the mountains they are not refugees of Kadyrov, those are radical Islamic fighters similar to the ones we claim to be fighting in Iraq/Syria. Their families live in government controlled areas but the mountains are hard to control so that is where the remaining militants are based. I don't doubt life is not great for relatives of militants in Chechnya some of whom may be guilty themselves but others who are innocent of any crime but considered guilty by association. Many of the militants have gone to fight for ISIS since the battle in Chechnya is mostly quiet now and they do not have much chance of victory and Syria seemed more promising of success. And since you told me to think for a second, maybe you should think for a second that me having to explain this all to you indicates you really do not know much about Chechnya or Kadyrov. Kadyrov himself was a Chechen rebel in the first Chechen War which had a mix of causes and idealogies from nationalism, historical mistreatment of Chechens by Russia/USSR, to islamism and also to a large criminal/warlord element. By the time of the 2nd Chechen War Kadyrov's father was Chief Mufti and changed sides in part due to the increasing radicalization of the fighters due to the money and influence of Saudi Arabia (with the US undoubtedly in the background) and the influx of radical foreign jihadis. If Kadyrov was on our side we would call him a moderate.
Again I am not saying he is a nice guy or not guilty of some of the things he is accused of but at the same time one has to look at what the alternatives are whether life has improved for the average resident of Chechnya under him. Grozny would be pretty low on my list of cities I would choose to live in but it is 100 times better than it was 10 years ago. Saddam Hussein was not a nice guy either nor is Ghaddafy or Assad but Bush/Obama are responsible for far more deaths in these countries than they were so lets put things in perspective. These are complex conflicts and what we do in the West is cry about lack of democracy and human rights violations and then go in and make life worse for the people there and steal their oil and natural resources. And if Cornelius should not play for Terek because of Kadyrov shouldn't the players of  AC Milan, Arsenal, Hamburger SV, New York Cosmos, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid also stop playing for their teams because they are sponsored by a dictatorship significantly more brutal than Kadyrov (for example, I haven't heard of public stonings yet in Chechnya and in fact the death penalty is prohibited in Russia). How about Leverkusen's players with the horrid past of Bayer and some pretty shady dealings by this company in the present? How about teams with sponsors linked to the German arms exports industry, your "nice" Germany is the world's third largest exporters of weapons? Stuttgart, for example, whose sponsor Daimer/Mercedes-Benz is a major weapons manufacturer of such lovely things as cluster bombs and has also been involved in numerous cases of corruption and illegal dealings. 
As for LOK Leipzig, I hate them because they are the rival of my team, a significant proportion of their fan base is neo-Nazi and I have personally been at games where they displayed banners glorifying the Nazi Rudolf Hess and saying that LOK fans were murderers and fascists. And all of this in as you say "nice" Germany. However, I never said JLL should not play for LOK or criticized him for doing so when it seems to have furthered his career and indeed on occasion I do go on the hated LOK website to see how he is doing and post updates here.

 
 
 

From a footballing perspective he is almost certainly better off with Terek than Lubeck. Different players do well in different environments and sometimes players move up too fast too soon but for the most part any player wants to get to as high a level of club as soon as possible. The Russian Premier League is somewhere between the 1st and 2nd Bundesliga in playing level and Terek is a solid mid-table club so fairly similar level of play to a lower table 1st Bundesliga club or top 2nd Bundesliga club. No one would think he should stay with Lubeck if he was transferring to a similar level club within Germany. And as for him bailing from Lubeck, Terek asked permission to trial him, he was given permission to go and Lubeck will likely receive a good fee for him. He is doing nothing against the wishes of the club and this happens all the time the only difference here being that he had trouble getting FIFA permission to transfer and play for Lubeck. Had he played in Lubeck youth teams for 2 years and transferred without playing a single first team game no one would find it unusual at all.
As for Kadyrov it is difficult to know what to believe about him given that our media's reports on him are just as much an exercise in propaganda as the Russian ones. Even if he is guilty of the criminal or human rights abuses he is accused of, he is still the best thing that has happened to Chechnya since the end of the Soviet Union. The war in Chechnya is pretty much over and the islamist radicals have largely been defeated (unlike in neighbouring Dagestan). There are a small number still in the mountains and a lot of the rest are either fighting for ISIS or in exile in Turkey (where they are protected by another Islamic dictatorship though one that we like). Grozny is largely safe and rebuilt. It would not be my first choice of a city to move to that is sure but the life of most citizens (ie. the ones whose family members are not in the mountains or fighting with ISIS) is much better under Kadyrov than it has been at any time since the fall of the USSR. I have personally never visited Chechnya but I met several Chechens in Russia and most supported him and even those who did not thought he was better than the alternative. I suspect I have spoken to a lot more Chechens than you have. I am not saying Kadyrov is a nice guy either but he seems to be doing a lot better job dealing with islamic revolutions than the US and the West are doing in places like Iraq, Syria or Libya and with nowhere near the level of killing or brutality committed by "our side". Maybe one day he will deserve to be brought before a human rights/war crimes tribunal but if he is I certainly hope Merkel, Harper and especially Obama are there with him (and probably Trudeau as well once it becomes apparent what the Saudis are doing with the APCs we are selling them).
As for Germany being nice, as someone who has lived in both Germany (in fact was born there) and Russia let me say Germany is certainly safer to live in than Russia or Chechnya (although Russia is not nearly as dangerous as we are led to believe, living in the US was actually much more dangerous but Germany is really safe crime wise), nicer would definitely not be the word I would use. 

Lars Hirschfeld's career is NOT OVER folks!
He's just signed with KFUM Oslo (2nd division Norway but called 1.divisjon).

Cantave, that is a very good move, I am impressed. That is a leap for him, if he gets minutes he is automatically worth looking at for our seniors since this is the level Piette plays at. The article says he trains this week and will be officially presented next.
Guadalajara is an important provincial capital that has stagnated in recent decades, the team is in Group 2 of 2B, where there are no historical powerhouses and the only team that is really technical is the Real Madrid B team; there are Basque sides and Castillian and it is a physical group. Lots of these teams would have problems in 2A and lots have experienced journeymen. Arenas de Getxo is a founding team of Spanish 1st division, in 1929, but is now small. Guadalajara too have a small stadium and are not really ready to play in a higher division either. Their goal is to stay in this one and enjoy themselves.
I was going through their roster and they have very good, smart signings, some others from Getafe and other Madrid area teams, players from other strong 2B sides in their division, a guy from their own academy. A Korean and a Japanese player. A young keeper from Valencia. Then some senior experience, like Marqués who was at NY Cosmos this year, or striker Riki, who was at Deportivo for 6-7 years and scored a lot, and Granada last year, a 35 year old with 1st division experience. They only show 3 strikers and have scored very little compared to other mid table teams, so Cantave looks to give them a sub with speed and possibilities to get past rivals and cross in, get a look on goal, I think if they've signed him he'll get minutes quickly if he can prove his pace is right and stays healthy.

Not denying that but Miller for the most part selected the best team and then coached them poorly. Yallop never selected our best team for what seem to be a myriad of personal relationship and ethically questionable issues and then coached this below par team poorly. At least with our best players on the pitch you have a chance even with a bad coach. However, I hope the CSA has learned their lesson and never, ever hire another coach again of the level of either Miller or Yallop. 

Finally a Canadian playing for 'Canadian' in the Uruguay 2nd div...?
Soccerway has Victor Miguel Gallo at Canadian and he has played 3 games so far with the club.  Apparently, previously played for Woodbridge.
