After watching last night's game, I feel that we'll only get 1 point in the next home game against the F!re AND that the newest member of the team will be a defender.
We're going to get our doors blown off against fire, I predict a 2 goal loss. The next player Crew will acquire, will be a midfielder. We need one additional wide player.
The problem is that we appear to need another defender or two, and another forward, and maybe a center mid. Right now, I think we'd be better off not doing anything, letting this group go a month or 6 weeks, see what shakes out, and then make a move. That said, I think Leitch would be a logical next transaction.

Although the Crew have his rights (via Buddle/Gaven trade) he has not signed and does (did) not appear on the official MLSnet.com roster. When/if he does sign with the team then it will count as a position filled. The 5 day zone, however, is the same for all players: the time on the MLSnet.com pressed release will be used to determine "when" the player was added to the roster. So if Chris signs tomorrow, most of us are SOL.

Although I'd be willing to make an exception for King Fid, the end result is that you then made an exception and everyone will then want one. It's kind of like tax loopholes. In the end, you end up with more exceptions than actual rules.
