In the spirit of the "questions for Peter Wilt" series going on over in the Chicago board, post your questions for Steve Sampson here. Steve, I know you're busy but when you have time... 1. Was the purpose of your Portland visit to sign Alan Gordon, or was it to scout new players, or...? Which players stood out for you? 2. Who does Cobi's hair? I appreciate any response you can give. ---- Andy Wattenhofer - featured in the September 2004 issue of Jane Magazine www.BlueSkySoccer.com
1. Forget Cobi's hair. Who does your hair? (Can you please post the addess so I don't unwittingly end up his/her next victim?) 2. Have you made nice with Kirovski? 3. Having mastered Spanish, will you now be working on Korean, Portuguese, and Caribbean English? 4. Who do you like in the Costa Rica-Guatemala match this weekend? 5. Why should I renew my season seats for 2005? (200 word limit) Thanks for your time.
1.) Will we be loaning out or releasing Gardner next year, assuming he's not claimed in the expansion draft? 2.) Why don't our other strikers produce when partnered up with Ruiz? Is there something about his playing style that makes it difficult for others to succeed? 3.) If you could bring in one player to the Galaxy, from anywhere in the world and ignoring transfer fee/salary cap considerations, who would it be? 4.) Why aren't all front offices as accomodating to their fans as Chicago's is?
Stevie, do you know think your tenure with the US Nats will help you prepare for finicky fans, clashing egos and incompetent management in LA?
