Tobias Lopez of the Ft Worth Star Telelgram interviewed Ernie Stewart in Dallas yesterday. Here is the interview, Stewart claims the decision of where he plays is, "My choice". http://www.dfw.com/mld/dfw/sports/4924476.htm wow. peet burn radio
Interesting. I had no idea that he was visiting the two cities this week. If he 'chooses' Dallas, it will not be without consequence, something will come DC's way in exchange for the allocation.
This isn't new. Or rather it's new but Earnie says nothing new. When it was first announced that he was coming stateside he said it was his choice. and that he was visiting both cities this week- even though the Dallas mgt. always says there's nothing in the works. (Those tricky Dallas GMs and coaches!) That doesn't mean that if he chooses Dallas then they just take him. They will have to deal with DC.
Let's rent a bilboard somewhere in town asking Earnie to sign for DC, then let ray know so he can drive by when he is showing him around the town. Too late as he is going to decide on monday.
I'll take Jason Kreis thank you very much... As for the person who started this thread, with all due respect, that was hardly an exclusive interview.. A basic rehash of things most of us knew already..
Well how about adding a teist to all of this? If there was not the allication system at all, do you think it would be fair for Stweart to be up for grabs and would DC still have gone for Stweart?
I'm not sure what a "teist" is but sure, if no allocation system existed (and I wish that were true) that it would be fine for Earnie to be up for grabs. Would DC had gone for Earnie? Probably though I don't think Earnie is Hudson's first choice as he'd rather have more of a well, forward, than Stewart is. JMM better fits what Hudson wants (and some too expensive foreign players fit even better) so there is still a question that if JMM becomes available this weekend to MLS teams who knows what will happen.
Rhine, Martinez and Vaca or Kreis and Martinez (even if we have to sweeten deal). If you're interested, see my reasoning on page 2 in another thread: https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/show...highlight=Rhine+AND+Kreis+AND+Vaca#post584108 GM
No I wasn't drnk, caffine hadn't kicked in yet. After reading it I think I was trying to say interesting twist.
I'd take Suarez, he's a BAMF, and Martinez......do you think the artificial turf will effect his decision. He's had knee problems in the past, I doubt he'd want to plat half of his games on turf.
According to ussocceruk, the team that gets Stewart will make the announcement first. Any press confrences scheduled for today?
