    So Garth lied when he said that they already had offers and ideas on who the international player would be?

    What about them having two offers on the table? That second one is seeming awfully long to happen... if it hasn't fell through already.

    It seems to me that this is being misunderstood. I think there were two offers made for a single spot. It was either Russell or someone else and we got Russell. It was mentioned after Russell was brought on that we are looking for another player(s) before the end of the window, but I think that the two offers mentioned prior to Russell's acquisition referred to something else. In other words, the player we seek now is not related to the offers discussed previously, but an entirely new offer.

    That's just how it seems to me when I read through things, I have no new info or source for this.

    Take it for what it's worth.

    Robbie Russell indicated in the interview I did with him (I can't remember if it made it into the parts posted on Keepin It Real) that Garth's first contact with him was the preseason FIFA window (January?), but that Robbie was not ready to make a move at that time. So I think the timing worked out on both sides.

    I think you may be correct on this, although it was always a bit vague.

    so we sign nobody, we lose a couple games on the road, fans start to get a little pissed as the widow closes and we still have our finishing issues... I hope I am wrong with that forecast

    Is that done? Is it common for a team to make an offer to someone on the condition that another player turn down position first?

    When I've been involved in job searches, I've seen 2nd choice candidates told that an offer might be made in the event that the 1st choice turn down his offer, but I've never seen an offer made to a 2nd choice candidate if the 1st choice candidate's offer was still on the table.

    hah, get off these boards, Kreis.

    Anyway, I think this would really get that missionary Supporter Group going.

    It's an article about three of the backlines in action over the weekend (Houston, LA, and Chicago), so any mention at all is pretty good!
