All I can say is Mike Magee for $125K is a steal. He needs a new agent. :huh:

No you forgot, everyone says he sucks!

Everyone seems to when it comes to Magee... It is obvious to me that LARS is racist against Mike.

He's Sasha Victorine for a new decade.

Nope... Mike is racist against LARS. I was there...

Although he doesn't "suck" in the vein of say Troy Roberts, Mike Magee is fairly average. He's stepped up a few times and does some good things on occasion, but at $125k he is hardly a steal..

If you're not creepin', you're not trying...

Disagree. He is by far the quickest of thought player not being paid DP money on the roster. The Anatomy of a Goal segment on Donovan's goal against the Timbers shows just how soccer smart he is. Magee has the technical and ability and tactical to play with the top players on the G's. He does not have the athletic ability to be a top class player. He is a steal at 125K, certainly worth more than Barrett.

Without Magee the Supporter's Shields would have been much more difficult and the MLS Cup run much less likely.

Yeah that's fine, but all I see is a role player who shows he knows how to play the game and does some good things once in awhile. He's no superstar and he's paid accordingly as far as MLS is concerned...

I already pointed out that Barrett is overpaid. That is beyond obvious...

You didn't address the final statement which links Magee to the trophy case. If you want me to make that case, I can do it when I have time. Magee has never been a LARS lover, so that is a strike against him with LARS, but I will definitely contend with anyone who puts him as average for an MLS player, above average at least.

Iro would require an international spot, G's would need to trade for his MLS rights, as well as a INT slot or relaease a current INTL player.

Andy Iro? I remember when he played at UCSB, they won the NCAA with him at center-back. Haven't watched him more than a couple times, but if he does well I'd be stoked to have him on board.

There are many role players who are "linked" to trophy cases. Mike Magee had the season of his life last year. I doubt he'll duplicate that ever again.

You obviously think more highly of the man (soccer-wise) than I do, but that's just where you and I differ.
