More moves: http://www.houstondynamo.com/news/2...tephanie-ochs-and-goalkeeper-bianca-henninger So we have so far: RETURNING Henderson Henninger McCarty Ochs IN ??? OUT Burger Souza (to FCKC) Toulouse I'm sure I've probably missed someone... I assume most of the allocations will stay the same, but we'll have to wait for late November for that. So far it looks like more of a growth than a rebuild to me, all four confirmed returnees 25 or younger, which I'm okay with as I liked what we saw this season, just needed maturation.
Okay, so this isn't confirmed by anyone directly in NWSL, but I just found this: http://womens.soccerly.com/2014/09/...repare-world-cup-qualifying-leonardo-cuellar/
Well, u can add Ohai, Jackson, Diggs, McFarlane as they would have had to have been waived if their option hadnt been picked up. Ohale might be determined by whether Nigeria makes WC. Interesting Noyola isnt on that list.
*shrugs* Most likely, but until things are officially announced we can't expect that NWSL wouldn't have a minor/major rule change, can we? Anyway.... http://www.houstondynamo.com/news/2014/09/houston-dash-re-sign-midfielder-brittany-bock RETURNING Bock Henderson Henninger McCarty Ochs IN ??? OUT Burger Souza (to FCKC) Toulouse
I believe Cheryl Bailey keeps the rules tucked in her sock so any wash day we r in jeopardy. What would be really helpful is if they posted the current rosters on the league site. Instead the KC roster still lists Melissa Henderson.
The NWSL website's rosters list any player who played any bit of time with the team even if no longer on the active roster. I'm guessing that it might be a limitation of the demosphere platform they are running.
They simply need to designate their status. If players have been cut, traded, moved to the injured list or amateur fillins it should be listed next to their name. When players go out of contract as well. The silly part is they have all this information because the league site is where all roster movement is reported.
Yes, they have the information. What I'm saying is that Demosphere, which runs their website, might not be customizable to allow them to add that information to the roster pages.
Looks like Morgan Brian is going to Houston. At least Brian Ching thinks so. http://keepernotes.com/2014/10/15/knss-woso-brian-ching-womens-world-cup-qualifying/
Unless she decides to go to Europe, Houston has the first pick so it's no surprise they expect to get her.
Other than trading the pick the thing they seem to be worried about is Brian being allocated. Of course they also keep dropping the idea that Brian could be allocated to them giving them the two top players in the draft.
And with this most recent trade... RETURNING Bock Henderson Henninger McCarty Ochs IN Lloyd (from WNY) OUT Burger Edwards (to WNY) Engen (to WNY) Souza (to FCKC) Toulouse
If u count Brian, the Houston alumi scored 3 of the 6 goals against Haiti... 3 goals is usually a good couple of games for the Dash so things may be looking up.
I think it's still too early. Isn't it usually a minimum of 9 months out, with a year out being more common? She injured it in March, so it's only been 7 months.
Kind of late to the party, but I seriously doubt Brian goes to Europe in a WC year when she's fighting to get on the field for the US. That would be a death knell for her WC chances.
That's usually the timeframe. I don't think Herdman would rush her back when he'd rather have her healthy for the WC. In all likelihood she'll be ready for the start of the NWSL season.
Sarah Gehrke @Sarah_Gehrke 36m36 minutes ago Leo Cuellar says only 4 #NWSL teams have said they want to keep their #MexWNT allocated players: Romero, Ocampo, Perez, Sierra #CWC2014 So maybe u can move Noyola to the out list.
Ooooold news: Once NWSL or Houston actually confirms that players have been kept/cut, we can update the list.
Not surprising to me -- for Portland, Acevedo wasn't even on today's Mexico roster. She's a nice young lady, but if he didn't put her on the roster, why would a NWSL team?
doesn't the nwsl need other fed $$ to survive? how are they going to make it with only 4 players being paid by the mexican federation?
I think having fewer Mexican players will be better for those players in the long run. Now they can go to teams that need their services and will play them instead of rotting on benches of NWSL teams. Quite frankly, I'm not surprised at that list and apart from Noyola, it is accurate.
Another name missing is Cuellar. I wonder if that is because of her knee or Washington has lost interest.
Remember that, aside from Ocampo and Perez, all Mexican players were on different teams from the end of the 2013 season to the official 2014 allocation. So having four look like they'll be reallocated to the exact same teams is an improvement. I agree that it's odd Noyola isn't on the list so far, but maybe she's asked to go somewhere else, or they're trying to get back to one Mexican allocation per team and Houston was forced to pick one, who knows? Cuellar I'd definitely guess is because of the knee. If you know a player is going to miss games before/during the WWC, you don't want to take a risk on a player that's already injured and might miss even more games at the beginning of the season.
