    Not much solid in the way of names but it was reported in local paper that they had signed 14 players already, but were waiting for the offical announcement

    So far the offical names Ive seen are Stephen Armstong, Ian Fuller, Chris Corcoran, Luke Kreamameyer, Darren Spicer, Nate Norman, and from a newpaper release; Dusty Hudock.

    http://www.charleston.net/news/2008/jan/28/battery_applauds_expanded_more_balanced_28847/

    others Ive hear un offiicla are Brandon Curran, Byron Alvarez, and Keith Wiggins

    another likely returnee is Andre Tousaint, reporst fom his iterenational duty with TnT have talk of him returning as well.

    Another one seen working out and playing is Johnny Wilson, he want to play here and I think his experience woud be great on the back line.

    So that is 12 of the 14 Auggie mentions in the paper, the others are likely returnees and I imagine there will be som signees from the two trials. Hpefully well get a "big" name or two to fill the other two slots.

    The club likes to keep their name in the paper, so that's another reason for the bits and pieces approach.;)

    as of now Id say fair to good. someone recently took the time to add and delete names from the Battery's webpage. Lazo incusion wasnt an oversite im sure.

    Most likely he has a clause in a current contract that would allow him (or the club) an out but I would think with what im hearing from the club, coaches and players is that this year they dont want to rebuild and while Lazo left some to be desired, is a known and we know what his potential is. he will have a lot more support on the back line with the addition of Stewart and Wilson. He still had six assist last year and if he can ever get his head and knee over the ball he will have an accurrat shot to go along with the power he has.

    Thanks Mikey. I was watching Fox Soccer Channel tonight where New Jersey was playing California in MISL and saw Lazo score a rocket shot. I think he had two goals. He's also the Captain of NJ. If he can bring that momentum back to Charleston this year he can be a big asset as well as a leader.

    A good group of experienced pros shaping up. Seem to be going for a little older player.....kinda reminds me of 2003!! Still like to see another striker or 2...preferably a proven one.

    Anyone have any word on Armando Romero??

    Is he expected to re-sign?? Or does it look like he'll be looking for another club??

    I have word that T&T players Kern Cupid and Randi Patterson signed. Can someone confirm?

    This is from a TTFF press release and I don't always trust them 100%.

    Both played in a scrimage against the College of Charleston, but I think Mr. O is right Patterson signed but Kern is on a trial I imagine he will get a lok at during the tournament with the MLS clubs that starts here on Saturday.

    Mikey, was Cupid the left back in the 2nd half of the scrimmage? If it was, he was hooking up with Kenga pretty well on the left side.

    Im pretty sure that was him. I think the right side was a Jamacian guy on trial.

    of course that left back belongs to Johnny Wilson

    Since they were both called back for an international friendly on the 19th they would miss the game vs. Quakes, but they are supposed to come down Sunday, so maybe we'll see them vs. New York.

    Looks like Kendall Jagdeosingh is on the field vs. NY. He's from T&T as well - guess he's on trial.

    that would be Kendall Jagdeosingh (almost positive that is what they announced). I think he is under contract with Joe Public at the time.
