Major props to our latest Norteno - Ryan Nelsen. In case you missed it, Ryan caught Footbalitis (it's spreading) and swapped jerseys with me and took a La Norte bucket hat. He wore it the entire second half and returned it to me in exchange for a bunch of beers. Just a great guy. We told him he has to stay. Sachin
What did Ryan say about staying? If you talk to him again, make sure he knows how much we want him to be here.
Sachin and I were basically begging him to stay. He told us it is up them. Ali also deserves props and a spot in La Norte...gave his jersey to Pepe, and eveytime this season we have called him to come over he has come over.
I hope he stays. I remember when United won the Interamerican Cup down in Fort Lauderdale. After the game a few of us were begging Tony Sanneh to stick around. He said it was up to Sunil and the league to pay him a decent salary. They didn't so he left. I still miss the big cat.
I think Curtis probably stays because he's not very expensive. Nelsen probably stays because other teams probably aren't taking a chance on a guy just coming off of a knee injury. But, these are just things I hope. I think Ivan might price himself (and age himself) out of a job.
