Well. I'm sure we'll all be happy to have him stay here with the club, that's for sure. In the same way we'd be happy if Conrad(and Zavagnin) doesn't go either. Just makes us better than we might possibly be if they were gone. Nice writeup chad
My impression is that not only will Sealy be here, but Conrad and Zavagnin will also. I think Arena will pick other central defenders like Bocanegra and [believe it or not] Berhalter. Bocanegra is versatile and can play central or outside left defender. I think EJ and Wolff will be in Germany with the Nats. So, that leaves us with the following lineup: Bo Groenwald - Garcia - Conrad - Burciaga [sans red cards] Jewsbury - Zavagnin - Victorine Arnaud - Sealy - Pore [or Will John] Subs: Hesmer, Thomas, Wahl, Zotinca, Raybould, Pore/John, Yura, Watson
That's what I was thinking as well. I hope they all make it for their sake but I won't be dissapointed if they stay with us all summer.
Hard to believe that Sealy isn't named on the squad but Cornell Glen and some dude from "St Johnstone" is. Also cant believe Warner from Fulham isn't one of the three keepers ... better for you guys though.
Pore will definitly start over Will John. John might see a few minutes as a sub but I doubt he'll see much time even with the WCers off doing their thing. That's still a pretty damn nice line-up. We all know that Arnaud and Sealy can score too. We're gonna loose some fireworks for the WC, but I don't think the effect of the display will be hindered.
I'll defer to Merlin on this one since he gets to see them more often, but early on I remember hearing that John looked better. Although Pore has seen field time and John hasn't yet. I think they'll both see time during the World Cup.
Will looked really good in practice early on, but Pore has been very impressive recently I'm told. He apparently stood out last night in the MSU match along with Watson. Pore is definitely the 5th forward right now behind Wolff, EJ, Arnaud, and Sealy. I'd expect to see a lot of him as the season goes on, especially in WC time.
Looks like Sealy not on the list of 24 men for T&T (they still have to cut one player) http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=364621&cc=5901
Hm. I guess your article listed the standy's where this one didn't so I thought there may have been a difference. gah.
It's kind of confusing. Beenhakker named a 31-man provisional roster (which includes the standbys), with a 24-man roster that he is using for the Peru match. The 24-man roster is what he's planning on taking to Germany, minus one player.
