    I like him. Very honest player.

    33 year old defensive mid for 6 figures? Is it necessary?
    Come June maybe.

    He's expensive; there's no doubt about it. However, I like him for the same reason I like Mark Chung. They both have skill, workrate, can shoot the ball, and they never take a day off and mail in a performance. Good, solid professionals.

    Edit: Substitute him for Kovalenko, and you have an immediate upgrade.

    And less expensive by about 45 G's. And even though he had a red card suspension this year I would not feel nervous every time he took a step out on the field. With Dema, I am nervous.

    And with his current contract cheaper. And now that he's been waived, he could sign for less money, not a lot, but every little bit helps.

    Actually, I think putting him on the field would fill the veteran void left by Stewart.

    OK, I see where you are going.

    Dema did have way more production this season than Diego did.

    With his captain status, possibly.

    I was hoping it was that Brazilian kid, Diego.

    We already have a 9 year old on the team.

    Nowak should bring in on board for the lone reason that Deigo scored off a Nowak shot to win their first title in Chi-town. jk Seems like a decent player, solid vet and an upgrade over Dema

    Y'know, Gutierrez also plays left back, and he'd definitely be an upgrade there.

    That was my first thought, as well.
