to Chivas in the last round. Huh? Oh well. We protect Vallow. I'm not sure I've ever even seen Stewart play.
I'm going to miss Stewart streaking down the sidelines, like he did this last season, and his ability to find the open man at the top of the box. Not to metion his good first touch effort and his ability to know where he needs to be to protect Cannon-- Wait you mean in real life as a Rapid, not in FIFA 2004, right... umm.... I mean, I will miss his jig dancing skills and his ability to swell at will. Good luck Stewie!
Did Chivas do any research on this pick or was it garbage time? Stewart hasn't played for the Rapids in 1 1/2 seasons because of injuries. Good luck amigo.
Actually, I'm surprised that Vallow wasn't taken, he's definately earned himself a fair shot at an MLS starting role, and doesn't cost much.
It could be that Chivas/Real are gambling that Vallow -- or a player like him -- will simply be waived by their team and available through the waiver draft or for that matter, as a simple signing following a preseason invitation.
Probably worth the risk for Chivas to take Stewart in the last round. It's a great deal if Jeff can return and play at the level he did in 2002.
Especially true since there are rumors that players from regular Chivas will be heading north of the border. A decent gamble.
They are hoping his year and a half out of soccer hasn't affected his skill and that he can recover. Taking a real flyer imo.
Shows the ineptitude of the Rapids ... they had a guy that they didn't really need or want ... and they failed to move him.
Hoping?!?!? This is Salt Lake man, don't you mean praying. They probably had a town hall meeting, passed out some bread, brought his lilly white butt up and soaked him in the great salt lake and had a good ol' prayer circle around him. They laid hands and offered him a wife... I hear Zizi is going to go to Salt Lake if it works for Stewart. But he will get a smaller lake, and cut from the roster first, because of his, um, "tone" *wink* well, at least we will get to see him 4 times a year. Still in street clothes, but we'll see him. And he was enjoying the mad-crazy night life of Denver. (and to him, he will remember it as such Compared to SLC) Whatever will he do now? Take up square dancing for rehab?
Everyone already knows that earnie stewart is going back to holland.............................. Oh, we had a guy named stewart on the rapids?!
