I can almost HEAR Ellinger going through all of the permutations.

I think that first one would be best. Just imagine after we get Sequeira back from WC our team will be the new Chicago Fire, except we'll win the MLS Cup in our second year..... so we will be the only RSL! Haha!

Just found this Pastorino quote:

Does that mean there is no more excitement? I'll be surprised if there aren't any waiverings soon...

I feel like we really need to reward their hardwork to improve the team with an even better, crazier crowd this year. Spread the word guys, that this year will be even better, and let's do what we can to help get some more people to the games!

klein is a stud, the guy has mad skill and the composure that mathis lacked.

and props to the news breaker on this one

Who knows? At the press conference to introduce Garlick, Talley, and Cunningham, he said that they were done then too.

I'm sure they were done at that point. Remember, KC came to us for this trade. KC will use the allocation to land Joe Cannon. They must really want Joe Cannon in order to give up Klein and a youth international spot.

That's true. KC have Oshiyoni don't they? He is plenty good. Well who cares, anything that makes the Crapids crappier is okay with me.

Who knows what other team might come calling? I don't think you can ever say things are over. At least I hope that they don't think that way. I hope they are always on the lookout for the next find.

Dang, sorry I missed on the yesterday evening fun.

But I must say I am excited for Klein to join us and I am superstoked that Jamie is staying.

Great use of a allocation and RSL just upgraded their midfield by 100%.

Is it April yet?

Yeah, this move to get Klein probably has as much to do with Ballouchy as anyone. With Klein occupying the R-mid spot, Williams can move to A-mid and Ballouchy can be under less pressure coming off the bench (super sub?). However I don't think this is an ideal situation as Williams doesn't strike me as a pure A-mid......he has a dribble first mentality and a lot of times he pauses too long with the ball which ruins our rhythm. He's more suited to play the wing where he can use his speed and footwork. I'd like to see Ballouchy develop fast enough where he can be starting by August or so. Then your midfield becomes Klein at R-mid, Williams at L-mid, Sequiera at H-mid, and Ballouchy at A-mid. Now that's a midfield I could get used to.

Let's hope these guys gel quickly. It's almost like the beginning of last year where nobody knew each other, and I know last year it was a problem. The preseason this year is going to be critical.
