Good pick...looks like RSL will be old up top, young in the back.

 

Nelson Akwari to Salt Lake -- Testo protected.

 

I hold an opposite view. On the Real SL Board someone is quoting Andy Williams as saying Ellinger said he would be playing behind Kreis and Mathis.

So they seem to think that Mathis will also be on their team. With Kreis in place and assuming Mathis rumor is true, I think his draft so far is pretty good.

 

I'm not playing along on TV, but found this on the RSL Boards

"Williams just said that he spoke with Ellinger last night and was told that he would be playing behind Kreis and Mathis. He spoke as if it were a certainty that Mathis is coming"

 

I'm really surprised we've only lost one player so far.

 

Did I just her Stoner say about Akwari, "...a hard, big-nosed defender"?

Michael

 

Yes, but let it go, he's rolling

How many rounds does this draft go?

GoCaps, I PMed you.

 

fyi. mls draft tracker now showing the picks and protections in order.

 

10 per team.

 

Matt Taylor to Chivas?

 

Saw that too...I'm guessing trade bait.

Simutenkov pulled back, BTW

 

Ziadie to Chivas, also.

 

The stuff I have heard and read makes it seem pretty certain. It's not one or two rumors - it's Wahl and Stone and several others openly discussing it. I don't think those guys go with stuff unless it's for real.

 

Only took 'em 39 minutes

 

Rsut Pierce to RSL.

 

Jamil Walker to Chivas USA.

 

Aw, crap. Fewer opportunities to call Rusty Pierce a ********************.

 

That must be impressive. You know what they say about guys with big noses.

 

Wait, wait, wait. He's not Hispanic...
