The hell?!

Suarez will improve CUSA's defense, but that's not saying much.

MUTINYFAN · Mar 21, 2009

I like Suarez but I wonder why he unretired. Sometimes, I think LA Chivas' policy of signing Mex players is detrimental in the sense that they have difficulty convincing Mex players in their prime to play in the US. It seems they can only attract players past their prime or journeyman from the Mex league. Of course Panchito is an exception. Maybe, they should focus on signing other players and quit focusing on the ethnic factor.

Have you taken a look at Chivas's roster in the last 3 years? Or even watched a single game they played in that period?

What is your point, RapidStorm? Yes, I watched Chivas play in the past 3 years. What is your point?

That a very limited number of their players are Mexican. Hell, most of their players aren't even Latin American.

I don't want to be a jerk, but this thread is for transactions only. Please take any debate elsewhere.

Thanks!

Kevin Forrest to Seattle Sounders FC (on MLSnet.com)

Mike Graczyk to San Jose Earthquakes (on SBI)

Colorado probably received something for Forrest and D.C. United something for Graczyk,

DC has picked up John DiRaimondo.

scaryice · Mar 27, 2009

So, Chivas now has 23 senior roster players with 2 on the DL (Burling, Vaughn). They'll probably just put someone else on the DL, but once everybody comes back some people are gonna get cut.

It looks like Braun has moved back down to the developmental roster per the MLSnet designations.
