Twellman and Lalas preview the season here... Nowak is a lingering figure http://espnfc.com/video/espnfc/video/_/id/1735672/league/usa.1?cc=5901
Per Twellman, the Union's bid for Michael Bradley was $3m-$4m a year...not sure if we'd heard that number before.
So was a pretty significant bid. I wonder if they got him if that would've precluded Noguiera and Maidana.
Ribeiro and Marquez officially signed. What about Fred? @PhilaUnion: JUST IN: @PhilaUnion sign draft pair @pedronalribeiro and Richie Marquez. For a look at current Union roster: http://t.co/xfXpTyKIcS #DOOP
I assume they are saving his signing a day or two so they can have content for another press release (plus he may have wanted the dust to settle on Kassel's exit before perhaps taking his #8 jersey).
I wouldn't bother with him. Seems his skills have been on the decline since leaving Vancouver. Plus he's a bit a hot head and makes a lot of stupid fouls.
so i guess because its the start of the season its time to close this thread and start up the in season rumors one
