Does Beckham's departure change Landon's mindset?
Beckham- gone
Landon- In the air to say the least
Juninho- Back to Brazil?
OG- someone could definitely make a sizeable offer
Keane- does he stay if others jump ship?
Dunivant- not getting any younger
Wilhelmson- can't imagine they bring him back
any others?

I'm sure they will spend nearly as much as they save, but we could be looking at a much different squad in 2013
thoughts?

not that i speak for anyone here, but I dont think anyone wants to spend much time speculating JUST yet on this.... its in the back of my mind that MAJOR change is in the air, but im completly hung up on the final to think about much else.





WITH that being said, if i remember correctly, Sean Franklin had one foot out the door earlier this season?...so, i feel we may not see him again.

Leiweke said that there will be a replacement when Becks leaves. I wonder how much the pending sale of AEG would effect that.

I can't imaging that they are just going to save money if players leave. I would be shocked if they didn't re-up. I think Kaka is a little too injury prone, but a possibility. I think Seattle will finally bring in some big guns too.

AEG's sale by Uncle Phil has little to do with this. Why would he want a valuable franchise to lose value? Buying another big player would maintain it, I wouldn't be worried.

I think Seattle will finally bring in some big guns too.

This couldn't be any further from the truth for the time being. The Seattle "WE HAS FANS" Sounders, still play in the backwater of the US in the minds of the international community.

Aging stars are also less likely to go to a team that plays on blacktop which is already bad for said stars aging joints. The current trend for many of the Euro stars has been "LA, NY, or I'm going to China(more recently the A-League)."

Good point. I think money talks ultimately, but that's definitely a valid point. I could see them targeting asian players who may be more receptive to Seattle... and on that note, think it would be a really good idea for the Galaxy to bring in a legit Korean player.

NY had better give us something good IF this is the case. Beckham still has a year on his contract.

If NY takes Beckham this is seriously the most retarded move they could make. Beckham is done. Anyone who has watched this last stretch of the season can see the amount of fatigue.

What's Keane's contract status? I'd be delighted to see what he could do if he were a full-time G (not going anywhere over the winter, etc.).

I'd sure like to see if the Gs could swing a deal to buy Juninho's contract outright.

Juninho? Yes. Then have JK cap him.
