[dezza]

Nkufo is 35. Nyassi is 21.

Ah, thanks dezza!

Attiba Harris is Caps second pick.

 

[johnnybluenose]

Great... another winger/striker with a poor goals per game ratio... ffs...

 

[dezza]

Caps pick Sturgis from Seattle.

Seattle is out of the draft so Nkufo stays put.

Columbus and Dallas also both out of the draft.

 

[johnnybluenose]

Sturgis! Great pickup imho.

 

[johnnybluenose]

Shea Salinas.

 

[johnnybluenose]

Alan Gordon (former Timber and Galaxy) from Chivas USA.

 

[johnnybluenose]

O'Brien White! FFS!

How many bad/average strikers are we going to sign!?

 

[dezza]

What was the point of Portland taking Findley? He's out of contract and already stated he plans to go to Europe.

 

[johnnybluenose]

Trade bait? I don't know... There's lot of rules that are very strange in MLS... it might have been some sort of salary cap thing? Allocation thing? Maybe they think they can change his mind? Dax McCarty has also stated he would like to go overseas...

Seriously? Spitting image of Carl Lewis... w/o the being fast thing.

Maybe it's sign as many as you can, see if any work out, cut them if they don't?

Yeah, but Findley is actually on trial in Denmark right now!

My only guess is they think he won't make it...

The 2nd best Venezuelan striker available...

Giancarlo Maldonado... good spells in Chile and Mexico.

They already have/have had a zillion stirkers that can't score...

 

[dezza]

Okay, now Portland takes Bornstein who's signed to go play in Mexico.

Are they just locking these guys up for when they assume they'll return to the US?

 

[italian_stallion21]

And they are able to release them all I presume? If they still don't have anyone that can score it won't be for lack of trying.

 

[italian_stallion21]

Just picked up GK Joe Cannon
