Israel Sesay Joining MLS

No word yet?

I would guess if RSL won, they'd keep him, as they're already thinking about next year. If LA won, they'd probably trade him quickly for something that can help them right now. (Dallas apparently needs to dump an SI to sign Denilson, maybe LA trades for one instead, and Dallas can keep him off the roster just like they did with Ibrahim.) Colorado's probably the most ambiguous. I think they're dead, but they probably wouldn't admit that yet.

 

Just found out, the Galaxy are the big winners. Let the conspiracy theories begin.

 

Especially when they trade him and a pick for Carlos Ruiz.

 

As injured as the Gals are right now, Sesay could start the SuperLiga final at right back.

Wonder how much of the million bucks he'll get if they win and he doesn't play?

 

So that means MLS will have to give each team 2 more DP slots next year?

 

Everyone did. Even before seeing your post (which i have read), i said on the RSL boards (where they were discussing the possibility of getting him) that they need not bother making plans for Sesay as it was obvious that the Galaxy were going to win the lottery. What a shocker.

 

Nope, just the Galaxy!

 

I know there is a general feeling that the Galaxy have special rules and I'm trying to remember all the reasons why that is... can people help me out?

1) Donovan deal from san jose
2) Caliguri from Columbus
3) Luis Hernandez (losing Mathis in process right?)

Others?

 

I'm enjoying all of the hate you guys are bringing, but I'm not sure what the big deal is. This guy fills absolutely zero of our needs right now, even if he was ready to play at MLS-level.

If Lalas and Yallop are really on their way out, I would look for them to trade Sesay to RSL for Eddie Pope for the rest of the season.

 

Well, we supposedly got the league to embrace the DP rule so we could get Beckham (I'm sure the Red Bulls are really pissed about that - not only did they get two DP's, but they were able to draw 66,000 to see ours).

Everyone bitches about league rules being bent for everyone else.

- The league bends over for DC, that's how they got Adu
- The league bends over for LA, that' how we got Beckham/Donovan
- The league bends over for Chivas, that how they got all the extra SI's
- The league bends over for New York because of . . . I forget, but everyone always says it.

 

Looks like Israel won't get to experience the right half.

 

Still think it's criminal that MLS didn't cook those books to let the kid play for a team less than 3 miles from his house, but, on the other hand, it did provide some of the best unintentional comedy in the history of ESPNews, hands down.

The only thing left for Szetela to do that could have been more insulting to the Crew after making that "what just happened?" face, was to puke on the shirt as they handed it to him.

While watching that live I swore I could hear...somewhere...somehow....Keith Olberman going "....guh!....."

 

Now if the league would just bend over to help out RSL. That is the team that needs it the most.

 

I love all the post-lottery "conspiracy" talk when no one can provide a shred of evidence that anything shady is going on.

Well, except for a team with the second-best chance of winning getting their number picked. Wow. Call Ripley's!

 

I don't really think that RSL's problem is their players. RSL's problem starts from their idiot owner on down. It comes from the top and filters down with their stupid decisions. Kindo like "trickle down stupidity"..
