    Your rhetoric is unfounded and unacceptable.

    No! Bouna is not yet a great goalkeeper. He is a young, very athletic one who needs to mature into his role. Under the guidance of a good goalkeeper coach his tactical sense & positioning will improve and with his athleticism he could become a great one!

    We'll be lucky to keep him much longer. I bet he goes in the summer transfer window.

    Re: why do we still have bouba?

    How does that work? Dont we hold his rights atleast through the year? I think the FO would reject any offer put on the table for him if they were smart.

    Oops I guess I just answered that.:D

    Racial remarks aside, you are still an idiot. You think you are better than Cummings and now this piece of work. Have you seen him play?

    Why do I see 'FSL troll' written all over this guy?

    I agree that Bouna made too many rookie mistakes last year. When a GK makes them, you notice. But I thought considering the number of SOGs he faced, he did well enough. The question is who can we bring in as a GK that would be better? And what would their price be? For example, Joe Cannon is not 7 times more than Bouna. But he makes about 7 times more. Salary aside, what would it cost to get a new goalkeeper? The Fire and DC both lost their GKs and had to go out and find new ones. It seems Chivas USA is a hair away from losing Guzan. For all the talk about America producing great GKs there aren't a lot of experienced talented ones around in the MLS right now. I mean, just think of it, DC United traded Bobby Boswell for Zach Wells. Who could we actually trade for and what would we have to give up?

    I dig the African wear. I think he's a great character for the team on top of the fact he's a top notch goalie. I also think he's a great rep for African folk in Denver.

    I don't think we will have him for long.

    Maybe if he moved to a better $ contract he could get a 2003 Acura.

    Speaking of monocltures you wouldn't be from Salt Lake Shity would you?
    It would make sense.

    While I agree that this guy is an idiot and I don't agree with what he says.....what is racial about his comments?

    Senegal is in Africa, isn't it?

    i have no idea where Senegal is nor do i care. But there are tons of goalies we could get to replace him or at least switch with bouna. I don't mean to seem like a douche but i post from a cell phone at a fast food job i don't really proof read anything i type because sometimes i my phone gets a button pushed to finalize a post. I apologize no i want a fire fc shirt asap. Yes i do think i am a better fit for the rapids then Cummings but he could change my opinion this year i have ton of faith in the rapids this year i really hope they have gotten better. i hope hercs acl is healed for the year i hope gomez can't keep his stamina up for a full 90. I just think bouna should be our second guy didn't we just get a new goalie coach on our staff.

    again i'm sorry to upset some of you with my obnoxious ways yes i'm young 21 i live / work right down the street from the stadium here in commerce ************

    This is true for any of our players, but why would we want to get rid of the 3rd best keeper in the league and last year's save leader?

    This wouldn't be funny if you hadn't come in here and suggested that you know how to run the team because you play Fifa08.

    So, you think he sucks, but you also think he's good and hasn't shown it?


    Second guy? To who? And what qualifies you to make player evaluations when the team hasn't even played yet?

    You upset people because you say idiotic things, not because you're young. I'm 20, and people don't seem to have a problem with that.

    Bouna just played in the African Cup of Nations after only having one year of professional experience. Senegal wasn't eliminated because of a bad goalkeeper, he only allowed one goal in the final match but his team couldn't find the net.

    Well the fact that he called him an African would make it a racial/ethnic comment.

    That doesn’t make the comment racist…Bouna IS African. God forbid some racist calls you an American some day.

    No one said it was a racist comment just a racial comment.

    He said racial. Not racist.

    Racial - pertaining to race.

    Racist - intolerance of another race.

    Very different things. People call him American all the time. And a damn good one. He's fighting in Iraq for America right now.
