okay, I can't stand to look at these boards and see the same two threads, so here goes something about the players... tomorrow, 11/1, is the first waiver draft of the offseason... wonder who we will see appear on this list...I am sure there are players that did not fit into DK's system or plans for the future, some that might be long in the tooth and not ready for prime time, and others that are simply done with the team... any thoughts on who might be let go?
Just speculating on this makes me feel like a violin player on the Titanic... Long in the tooth: Chung Onstadt Cerritos Done: Russell Conway Does not Fit: Dumbrowski Nash Levesque (I wanted this guy to get more chances too)
The Quakes just sent out a release -- Levesque and Orlando Ramirez were released. Anything else happen today?
Unless things change markedly in the next couple of days, I fear that the following Quakes players will be on waivers: Chris Aloisi Wade Barrett Danny Califf Ronald Cerritos Brian Ching Mark Chung Ricardo Clark Ryan Cochrane Jon Conway Brad Davis Dwayne De Rosario Tighe Dombrowski Robby Fulton Kevin Goldthwaite Kelly Gray Aaron Lanes Roger Levesque Alejandro Moreno Brian Mullan Julian Nash Danny O'Rourke Pat Onstad Orlando Ramirez Eddie Robinson Brett Rodriguez Ian Russell James Twellman Craig Waibel Chris Wondolowski
aww to bad for levesque he was a cuttie but interms of soccer, he never got his fair shot Chris Aloisi: i'd like to see him stay, but he'll probably be traded or cut, he's got potential though Wade Barrett: Aint goin no where, was a rock at left back, but didnt play as well as in 2001 or 2002, isnt going anywhere Danny Califf: The Man! Nuff Said, isnt going anywhere Ronald Cerritos: Played pretty well this year, probably wont go anywhere Brian Ching: despite injury, still played some good soccer, he isnt going anywhere Mark Chung: Probably the best mid-season signing Ricardo Clark: Was A ROCK! at DMid after a slow start, really picked up the pace quater of the way through! isnt going anywhere Ryan Cochrane: cant say much here, didnt play much, hit with a few injuries, possible trade Jon Conway: who cares Brad Davis: excellent start, slowed down a bit towards the end with injuries, isnt going anywhere Dwayne De Rosario: after a very slow start and rumors of him leaving, he proved all doubters wrong and took over the center mid spot & never let it up. he shoulda won mvp, is by far one of the best int he league, he's the true #10 on the team despite wearing #14, wont go anywhere. Tighe Dombrowski: will be waived Robby Fulton: The Future Kevin Goldthwaite: Another Bright Star, didnt play a regular season game till the last few, he has a real bright future, has good size, speed, and is a good crosser. isnt going anywhere Kelly Gray: IMO he sucks, Waibel is much better, I hope he gets traded Aaron Lanes: cant say anything Roger Levesque: waived already Alejandro Moreno: Very good, played his best soccer ever, should be a starter next year Brian Mullan: slow start, picked it up mid way through, wont be going anywhere Julian Nash: future of the quakes . great size and speed. and semi good ball control. Danny O'Rourke: not to sure here, probably willr emain on the squad, but cant say really. imo Pat Onstad: not sure if he'll be retiring or what Orlando Ramirez: waived already Eddie Robinson: The Warrior of the back line, played his best soccer EVER!, imo he shoulda been best 11 and D.O.F. but, i think that red card towards the end knocked him outta that. wont go anywhere stayin with the squad. Brett Rodriguez: cant say anything Ian Russell: i love ian, hasnt played well for awhile now, might be traded James Twellman: cant say anything Craig Waibel: Played his best soccer until he got hurt! , will return next year and probably start at left back again, it jsut wasnt the same with out Craigy back there . i love you craig. Chris Wondolowski: cant say anything really
Yeah there is a point where we do all we can and then there is nothing else we can do. Taking everything too seriously wont help anything. The last thing we need is our own people fighting. Chill everyone, have faith in the quake. Props bsman, must spread more street cred around before I throw it your way again. As far as waivers: Not a big Kelly Gray fan, wouldnt be sad if he hit the road. Onstad, is anyone else confused with this guy. So solid all season, last couple games questionable. Need a new keep before we let the GK of the year go, but time for retirement? Wave over my dead body: D-ro, Califf, Chung, Cerritos, Rico, E Robinson, Ching? eh yeah him too, shaky when in counted, can anyone say USMNT?... The rest of them, do your best to keep.
