#1191881 Results Watch 2013

Posted by Sasa Curcic's Watch on 25 November 2013 - 12:45 PM

I respect both teams so I'm ok with this final. I'm sick of the Dynamo. And screw those hipsters in the northwest.


#1191880 What do you do with Ryan Meara?

Posted by Sasa Curcic's Watch on 25 November 2013 - 12:40 PM

Keep him. Let him compete for a starting spot. Robles had a good season but it remains to be seen if he can continue that form. Meara is a lot younger than Robles. No good reason to dump him.

If a team wants a keeper there are a lot of other options available in the league like Pickens, Cannon, Frei, and Knighton. A trade with Meara won't fetch that much.


#1191768 Sekagya back next year?

Posted by Sasa Curcic's Watch on 24 November 2013 - 02:52 PM

CB4 or 5 for me.  I like a healthy Heath Pearce (at a lower salary) better at centerback.

Comparing Pearce's time here and Sekagya's, I'll take Sekagya. And Sekagya still was adjusting to this league. We've seen that mid-season signings may require more time to adjust to the league, Cahill being the prime example. 




#1191716 2014 MLS SuperDraft

Posted by Sasa Curcic's Watch on 23 November 2013 - 06:23 PM

I think the draft will be phased out with in 10 years time as most college players will be attached to academy's at that time and as Petke alluded to you will have a better selection from your own academy. Heck that even rings true for this year as Brandon Allen is probably better than any player we can take at 15.

The draft will and should be less and less important with the rise of the academy system. But until we can set up some affiliation with the lower leagues (which we have seen happen with some teams but on a very small scale) or actually have a legit reserve league then these guys out of the academies will want to go to college to get some seasoning. Not everyone will be ready to contribute on the first team straight out of the academy. And the country is too big to have every territory covered by academies. The draft may be less and less important, but it will still have some role. 




#1191407 2014 Expansion Draft Thread

Jeff Parke.

 

Going back to 1998, Zach Thornton and Manny Lagos.

But Jeff Parke was a different circumstance since he had the drug suspension and the ass hats JCO and Agoos didn't really want to bring him back as he was out of contract at the time. 




#1191254 2013-14 Random Player Name Thread

I agree, just kind of silly that we're losing quality American players to Liga MX and Scandinavian leagues just because of salary considerations.  If the league doubled the salary cap, I think we would see a considerable improvement on the pitch, as well as seeing these Americans come back home for the salaries they're getting paid elsewhere.

 

With the amount that the league has pumped the growth message and expansion, it's time to start paying more of these guys like pro athletes in the US.

You know it would be also awesome? If all the MLS teams were profitable.

Getting Jozy is nothing but a pipe dream. Completely unrealistic.

Great season but it ended in typical Metro fashion. So frustrating. Houston had no business advancing. 

 

FUCK

Wednesday will be Houston's third game in less than a week. Helpfully we see some tired legs from them.

this is why you don't celebrate like you won the MLS Cup when you've won the supporters shield.  because the shield, while nice and a great step forward, doesn't mean anything, as Mr. Henry has stated on multiple occasions.

If you think that had anything to do with the poor second half, please.  




#1188998 Petke's Contract

Posted by Sasa Curcic's Watch on 02 November 2013 - 02:27 PM

Give the man a nice multi year deal. He deserves it.


#1187922 Scandinavians

Posted by Sasa Curcic's Watch on 28 October 2013 - 04:30 PM

So much talent on this team was acquired by Soler. Dax, Holgersson, Barklage, Cahill, and Robles.

 

Roxy also made his mark on this team with getting Steele, Olave, Espindola, Alexander, Sekagya, BWP.

 

They both deserve credit. 




#1187365 Metro - Houston Playoff Thread

We've owned Houston and Montreal this season. Montreal has been in an epic tailspin while Houston has been ok not great, certainly not peaking towards the playoffs like they have done in the past when they have gone on deep runs. But there is just something about Kinnear in the playoffs that worries you when you have to play Houston.
