The Caddyshack: Fire Offseason Roster Moves (post-cap deadline)

What about Stoitchkov?

 

This is either a very silly question or an interesting point about last year's cap. If Wolff, Razov, Stoitchkov and Nowak were already up there near the maximum, how did we afford them last year?

Can someone chime in on the accuracy of these guesses? Like, where do you get 50K for Dipsy?

 

Will marsh start next year? i mean, he's a pretty decent player, and he never got hurt (did he lead the team in min. last year, or was he behind zach). however, when you look at who else is in the midfield, most likely he would be at outside mid, and there are many here who would rather not see him start over whitfield or maybe even mapp.

bradley loves marsh. dave might start him since jesse was, by default, one of our on-the-field leaders last season, but its arguable that whitfield is better and mapp has more promise.

also, we may see some more people get waved (perez), traded (wolff/razov), or retired (stoitchkov, peter), and there are others where who knows what could happen (daniv, dipsy).

i appreciate the attempt and understand the point, but i think its too early to start thinking about starting lineups.

 

Chicago Lineup for Opening Day??? more questions than answers

Just Wondering. This team was so good. Now, the team looks very different from previous years. Novak is not getting any younger. Mapp only played 28 minutes. I have more questions than answers. Someone teach me please?

 

Re: Re: Chicago Lineup for Opening Day??? more questions than answers

I agree. Isn't this the same idiot who's over in the MLS forums saying that Chicago should be moved?

 

Re: Salaries?

I would say that you are about 30,000-40,000 too high on this one. Otherwise he would be loooong gone.

Too high by about 10,000-15,000

Too high by about 20,000

 

that was during the season when the Fire traded for cap room to sign David Vaudreuil...what about at the beginning of the season?

 

1. he is not currently under contract

2. he will not be a part of the 2003 Chicago Fire unless he accepts making Henry Ring $$$.

 

Dipsey breaks ankle

Also the article quotes Peter Wilt as saying in next two weeks 2 or 3 players may be gone.

He is right.






From Naperville to Chicago !!!!!!

(and I live in Naperville)

 

The reason I've decided not to miss BB.

 

Wolff to KC? Hmm.

It's gonna be a long year.

 

yeah that one has always been a rumor, pretty much ever since the end of the season. Dema to K.C. was a rumor at some point too.

 

Good riddence 2002!

Looks like 2002 couldn't let us get finish the year without one last kick in the arse.

"And here's one for the ol' lady!"

Do we harbor any hope that Dipsy may be ready to go by season's start?

 

Re: Good riddence 2002!

Depends on the severity of the break, but I would bet he is out until June at the earliest. Can we hire some gypsy or someone like that to remove the curse from this club?

 

Merging all these roster-related threads....trust me, you'll be pleased I did in the next few days.


It's gonna get nuts.

 

...in with the new. Hold on for the biggest trade week since 1996.

Completed moves will get their own threads when they are confirmed, but keep rumor discussion and speculation here for sanity's sake.

Merry Christmas.
