4. Bornstein
5. Cuesta
6. Braun
7. Nagamura
8. Lahoud
9. Kjlestian
10. Santos

7.Galindo

1. Bojan Stepanovic
2. Marcelo Sarragosa
3. Ante Razov
4. Kevin Harmse
5. Lance Parker
6. Sasha Victorine
7. Jim Curtin
8. Ante Jazic
9. Dan Kennedy
10.Jon conway
11. Claudio suarez

Oh wait........ i thought i was Preki for a minute there.

My real list.

1. La Pantera Negra Golindo!
2. Big Johnny B
3. Maicon Sailor Face Santos
4. Wet Dream (Flores)
5. Michael Lahoud (he's due for a nick name)
6. Gerson-corn roll-Mayen
7. Paulo-I'll put my cleats in youre face-Nagamura
8. Jesus -I thought this was going to be easy- Padilla
9. Sacha-no where to go- Kljestan
10. Mariano -Please dont bench me- Trujillo
11. Kept that shit out of my net- Thorton

Thomas, Chichindu, and Zamora would be next in that order if players are to be traded not resigned or exempt for being on loan.

I'm not that big on Braun.

agree with you E-cho2

I think Braun should be protected. He's young and has a lot of potential, if ChivasUSA were to let him go I could totally see it coming back to bite them in the @$$, like what everyone thought Eski was.

Braun must be protected. He played better than expected this season after coming off the injured list. Trading Attiba sucked, but Braun played better for it.

I like Glyco's list. Padilla needs to figure out if he wants to be here and play up top where he belongs.
It seems like the new coach will decide that. .

I'm willling to take the risk of not protecting Braun to have someone else like Padilla playing on top and letting someone like Mayen/lahoud/Flores start. I'm not debating his potential, but thats all it is, potential and we are full of those. We also need proven strikers, proven defenders and proven mids.

Padilla is not a proven player. Padilla is a player with lots of potential, he still has alot to show the MLS what he can do. Hell, he had more opportunities than Nurse and Lillingston combined.

Braun is still green with lots of potential, but so far has shown alot more than Padilla. We need to protect our goalscorers. Not potential goalscorers. Braun over Padilla at this point.
