Ok today the list is supposed to come out. Do you think anyone will be able to get ahold of it or will it go out only to the bigwigs? First person to find the list gets rep from everyone here (I'm speaking for everyone)

I was just looking for it! I can't wait to look at it, shake my head, realize it doesn't mean as much to me as I hoped it would, then wait for the commentary to help me make sense of it! Yeaaa! 😎

MLSnet.com says the list isn't going to be made public until tomorrow. So, unless anyone "knows someone", the anticipation will build until then...

LA list...
The four players available from the Galaxy roster are
defender Paul Broome,
keeper Dan Popik,
midfielder Marcelo Saragosa,
and midfielder Arturo Torres.

my info says Dallas list will include
Jason Kreis and Ty Maurin....
my guess is it will also include
Oscar Pareja, Scott Garlick, Toni Nhleko, Eric Quill, and Steve Jolley (or Chris Gbandi)

Assuming we get Keller, I like Paul Broome (He's not Roberto Carlos. He's not even Greg Vanney. But you don't look gift left backs in the mouth) and Joselito Vaca (teams located in the Boondocks, which is where we are, let's face it; are not going to be allocated a Cienfuegos/Etcheverry/Valderrama/Nowak. You take what you can get.)

If we don't get Keller, we go with Johnny Walker. He can do radio interviews with 1640 AM after the game.

Jose Luis Luviano · 11-16-2004, 09:30 PM

I'd go with Kreis from Dallas. I like Nhleko, but I think he'll have international duty?

Czar Jake · 11-16-2004, 11:11 PM

If Vaca is available he will go fast. Chivas might want him more than we do but if we get the chance we should take him. I saw Vaca score one of the hardest hit goals I've seen in a long time.

Also yes if we don't get Keller (I'm doubting it now because the player is supposedly going to be there tomorrow and not in Colombus) then J. Walker would be a good pickup.

Surprised to hear the Galaxy put Saragosa on their list... he must be going back to Brazil, I guess.

I think there will be better goalkeepers available than Jonny Walker, personally. Not a big fan of his.

I've been lurking over on BS, and it looks like there are some good players available.

Chicago's leaving both Countess and Ring unprotected, and I was surprised about Williams -- I thought he was kind of getting over his 'issues'.

New England left Kamler and Pierce unprotected, though there are apparently some salary issues with Pierce. Both good players though, and I think Kamler, despite his age, might be a nice pickup.
