Isn't that answering your own question, or am I misunderstanding? Seems a player would be worth less if she's going to have to be absent so much. Regardless, boy, Flash! You're making it hard on me! I had fun w/Philly last year.
Well, if said player signed a multi-year contract w/ guaranteed money for all years of the contract, it doesn't much matter how much time they will miss due to the WWC. The club would be obligated to pay and can not refuse national team call-ups for the WWC.
GK: Harris, Camerson D: Riley, Wilson, Chapman, Engen, Fountain D/M: Bock M: Zerboni, Goebel, Seger, Kelly Parker, Becky Edwards, Amanda DaCosta (Florida State rookie) F: Sinclair, Alex Morgan, Veronica Boquete, Danielle Toney (Penn State rookie) It would be nice to get some rookies still: Alex Morgan (1st round) Amanda DaCosta (3rd round) (if still available, or trade up and get her in 2nd round) Danielle Toney (4th round) (under the radar forward from Penn State) Players in blue above, still need to be added.
the flash are looking really good. i hope all the paper stats are going to translate well to the pitch.
And how good their reserve players are once national teams come calling for their players. Although, I think Boston will be hit hardest on that front...
Seger is good! one of my favorite players in the wsorld! If the Flash now pics Solo there my team for 2011
Found an article about the Flash's recent signings here The first half of that is something we're all speculating, but I thought the part about them trying to bring Marta is interesting. Will Sinclair and Marta be reacquainted? We'll see..
Good job on your site thus far. Are you on Twitter at all. Seger has a new account as of a few days ago. @cseger9
I can't see WNY trotting Ashlyn Harris around like a show pony for their first signing only to put her behind Hope Solo. Solo was a free agent before this and it seems to me with signing both Harris and Brittany Cameron that WNY was never interested in Solo in the first place and with their GK situation all set, they never will be.
I just can't see Hope anywhere but Atlanta in 2011. - Boston already has Naeher and the fans would ride her regardless. - SkyBlue has Bardsley and Barnam already. - MagicTalk Freedom has McLeod who is a clear number one. - WNY has Harris and Cameroon, so they are set. - Philly has Henderson who already emerged as a #1. With Barnie, LeBlanc, Loyden, Davis, McCray, Whitworth, Lipsher, Marone, and others still FAs where else will she go? Same for Barnie, LeBlanc, Loyden, et.al. I bet there will also be some overseas movement for the season.
I was thinking....Lyon?????????????????? they have a lot of $$$$$$$$$$ and want despretly to win women's champions league
The play in the US contract requirement just sounds like a rumor to me. Since none of us non-players have seen a contract, it's all conjecture. Of course, some former WNT players might jump in here and set us all straight. What's the rest of the story?
No HOPE Hope Solo is a great stopper but is far from the ideal team player. She has had a chance to learn from past mistakes (on and off the field) but never seems to learn. We need a keeper who supports her defenders and inspires the team. Lets keep our current keepers.
Look...sometimes its good to listen to someone with a big mouth! Cantona was rigth abouth the whole France selection on wc 2010
Thanks for the responses to my comment about one requirement of the US contracts. My niece is a starting WNT player. She says the contract requires players to play in a league if there is a league. I assume she knows what is in her contract. What about Ali Krieger? I don't have an answer except she may not have a WNT annual contract.
