Think about this. Chicago has zero cap room. We have a lot of room to work with: Ramos gone, Diallo gone, Balboa? That will free up much cap space. You know a couple of his players will be along for the ride. Make your predictions. At least his brother will cover the Metros more!
Oh God....trying to find a reason to wear your jersey again (other than looking to get your ass kicked)??????
Ain't got a Walsh jersey, don't be retarded. Then again, how should you know, you spend so much time drolling over my ass cheeks that I'm suprised you noticed that I wear a Metro jersey at all.
Wolff would be sweet. Not only do we need forwards, but we could use someone with speed to complement Clint.
There seems to be a good chance that Wolff may very well end up a (excruciating painful words) Metrostar next season. Think about it, the deal for Faria fell through just short, and now Faria has been sent to the Fire...This is no guarantee, but also remember that this is Stoitchkovs last season. This opens up a bit of space for the roster and there are several other names on the chopping block. However, I think Armas is one of the few players that is almost guaranteed to be on for at least another season. But stranger things have happened. This offseason looks to be Miami-esque for the Fire. The Fire Dispersal Draft of '03.
Jeez. If there was a contest on who can be the most clueless poster in the greatest number of forums, you would win hands down. BTW, Faria was just traded to Buffalo for Brad May.
Trading Faria for Wolff would be a horrible move. Why trade a player that had 12 goals in a season for someone that is constantly on the IR? Clint's prone to injury now, so what happens if both him and Wolff are out? Faria and Alvarez would be our forwards. Faria is making 3 times less than what Wolff is making, and produces a lot more.
Let him be, the first reports said nothing of Faria, so he's a little confused. No reason to jump on him like that. OTOH, I'd love to get Brad May, if for no other reason than to kick the $%%&#@ out of Big Mama when he comes crawling back from Saudi Arabia
Im glad we are getting Bradley but there is no way you can give up Faria for a coach. You cant give up your top scorer for a coach,the number 5 pick and future picks ok but if Faria is given up it will continue our long tradition of stupidity.
I agree completely. Giving up Faria would be STOOPID stupid. I've got no problems with Faria, even with missing sitters. He's a solid player. He is a MetroStar. -g bugout : close to renewing season tix, but waiting for the other shoe to drop
Faria and next yrs pick for Bradley and Armas would be my choice as we need a ball hawk at def mid. Throw in Josh Moore to the Fire as well.
Didn't Josh Wolf and Bob Bradley have a big disagreement last year in Chicago! Wolf even asked for a trade. I doubt Bob Bradley would want Josh Wolf on his team next season.
Guys, we are getting the best coach in America. If he isn't worth the increasingly egotistical Faria then I don't know what is. The problem was not the players. It was the team chemistry. With Bradley, he demands respect. That is what he will get.
about the only player i could see moving over to the metros with bradley is marsch his contract is up, he was the career minutes and games leader for the fire and while not a fancy player, is an extremely spirited player that knows his role and plays it well he is a class player and person... i'm not sure if we are going to be seeing any trades between the two teams this season... already moved a coach and a player, that will create some rift, plus the fact that we are in the same division just some thoughts -jim
Jonathan Spector? This kid who's training with Man Utd was close to Bradley and played for the Fire reserves apparently has an MLS offer: http://www.planetfootball.com/article.asp?id=118571&cpid=8&title=Manchester+United+trial+American
I look for him to eventually be the reclusive, enigmatic mastermind behind our renowned 'Wall Of Sound Defense'.
