Chivas took Thiago Martins. A trade for "future considerations" during the brief trade window after the final. http://real.saltlake.mlsnet.com/MLS...ent_id=19316&vkey=news_slr&fext=.jsp&team=slr
Sorry to see Thiago go. On the plus side, I'm glad we were able to hang on to Cheyo Quintanilla. He was really starting to develop into a nice, creative player towards the end of '03.
mlsnet's draft tracker has Chivas selecting Ziadie instead of Walker and no mention of Martins yet. It also shows RSL selecting Chris Brown and Behncke instead of Pierce. Anyone watching live want to confirm/correct the MLS draft indications?
Perkins stays, Quintanilla stays.....not bad for DCU. We really need to find that centerback now with no EZ to provide cover.......calling Gregg Berthalter.
According to it, the Quakes got to protect Conway when Brown was picked from the Revs. Talk about your weird MLS rules -dave
As between these guys I think it's virtually impossible to say anything since they all got virtually no PT all year (did either Martins or q2 even step on the field? I at least remember Ara from the 5-1 beatdown at Dallas). I would have thought Chivas would have taken Quintanilla to appeal to the Salvadoreno population in LA.
Actually the more I think about it, by keeping Lawson, he provides coverage for the same positions that Ara did. So unless Kevin was going to be turned into a central defender, losing him really doesn't hurt us.
