What's Dipsy's status? Has he signed a contract, do the Fire expect him to be on the field anytime soon?
Every other team can add players and salary cap isn't much concern but when it comes to the fire it's a problem.
Every other team doesn't have the kind of costly talent the Fire has. Not every team has as many National Team call ups. Not every team starts players when they're young and cheap and brings them along like the Fire until they're older, experienced and want to be paid for their skills. We're now paying the price for nurturing domestic talent (Wolff, Razov, DMB, Brown, Boca, Thornton and so forth), every other team drops people and doesn't bother to train them properly, thus bringing in cheap new talent every year.
