Come on now which is more important getting the scoop for all of us loyal KC fans or providing for family? Where are the priorities?

This is interesting news.

Does anybody know how he got connected with KC in the first place? I'm guessing we don't have a large scouting presence in Israel.

I honestly don't know, but it is the second player in Israel we've been connected with, remember De Bruno? So maybe we have more scouting of that area then we thought.

I'll be at the scrimmage tomorrow. I'll take some pictures for your walls.

No, it is an American agent named Dan Barnet who keeps trying to link players in Israel with MLS clubs. Whoever does go see him practice, please upload a photo of him onto WikiCommons on Wikipedia because there is no picture of him there.

Also, Shriki was named tonight Find of the Year by the Israel Football Players Association. It is a sort of Rookie of the Year/Break out player of the year award. They would probably translate it into English as Rookie of the Year but he has been playing for a couple of years so that can't really be an accurate translation.

Idan Shriki according to the reports only starts trialing or arrives to America on June 4th. Check with the Kansas City front office before you actually shlep out to a practice.

That's ok. It's only about 2000 feet from the place I work.

I'll take pictures of Man of the Month, Davy Arnaud instead
