Why for Agass?

It was pretty much common knowledge that Ogunbiyi was not going to sign with any MLS team if drafted as he was going to Europe. So for some asinine reason, Agoos drafted him in the 2nd round

The very next pick LA drafted AJ DeLaGarza. (Also of note, 5 picks later KC drafted Graham Zusi)

It gets worse:

According to SoccerByIves, "the Red Bulls offered [Ogunbnyi] a senior contract, which he planned to sign, but the club pulled the offer a few days after making it."

The situation is a bit different; the league low-balled Occean and Metro couldn't offer him more than what the league wanted.

Guys, it was a disappointing season in the end, but far from our worst. Is it necessary to repeat every misstep from the past fifteen years like an ashram chant at the end of each season?

We were an above average talent team with a below talent coach and GM, so we ended up square in the middle of the pack. Sounds about right. Hardly the stuff to incite excessive self-flagellation.

Assuming we have Soler and Backe returning for 2012, will we find that they have learned from their mistakes and show some respect for the league and their own shortcomings and add some good MLS saavy coaching talent to the sidelines and have the sense to not make wholesale changes in the roster?

Use the DP to add the CM with superior ball skills that we all know we have needed for the last five years.
Add depth to the backline, especially in height and physicality.
Add a true RB.
Find a way to connect with Marquez. Either he gets serious game in game out or get him seriously to the end of the bench.
Commit to giving 6-8 players on your bench respectable game minutes.

It really isn't that many players to add. Personally, i would also like to see us add a more physical target forward as well, but that is lower on my request list.

Hey Goal.com readers,

So I've heard that the New York Red Bulls are interested in bringing in a physical defender.

I would be interested in playing for New York. The door has never closed in my mind for that opportunity. If they approached me, I would definitely look into it and consider it especially if it was a situation where my contract was guaranteed.

Honestly speaking, I didn't know much about the organization when I was picked by the club.


I thought we're the MLS flagship franchise!

The person I spoke most with was Jeff Agoos.


Oh. That explains it.

Sign him, get 2 great years out of him, sell him.

If he's a $400K+ kind of player, new rules make younger DPs count less against the cap.

If we can upgrade at CB and RB, we'd have some good depth with Mendes, Keel and Solli able to fill in on the backline.

RED. BULL. OUT.

He turns 25 next year, so the new DP rules wouldn't apply.
