    who will be leaving? Hearing about this turkish attacking mf/foward, I was just wondering if he pans out or if we find someone else who will we have to let go. Quaranta is to good a player to sit on the bench, and he may have found his spot at left mid. Stewart is getting paid to much to be on the bench and I don't see Ray moving him in the midfield so he starts up top. Well after thinking about for a while I came up with Kovelenko. With Ivanov back Nelson will be moving up to d-mid, we will have Olsen on the right, Etch, and Convey in the middle, and Quaranta on the left. So where does Kovelenko fit in? I'm not sure he would like sitting on the bench knowing he could start on other teams so I would think he would want to leave. More importantly he would open more cap space then letting Curtis, Namoff, or Chino go. This of course is all speculation we may not find our foward, but if we do I wouldn't mind trading Kovalenko for a 1st or 2nd round pick in next years draft.

    I'm not sure who would go, but saying Quaranta found a spot at left mid is like saying Ray is a masterful tactician. Quaranta was terrible as left mid against NY. So bad that he was switched with Stewart at half time. Kovalenko has the ability to play wide, although he doesn't prefer it. Well we could let Chino and Curtis go.

    Quaranta is a forward. If he is moved to wing permanently, he will become another Albright. The biggest problem with Quaranta is that.....well, he is only 18!!! Not entirely his fault.

    If you want to start an 18 year old, you need patience. Or put him on the bench.
