My bad mods can close/delete this thread, shouldve looked at Today's News thread...

Hmmm...is there a thread specifically dedicated to the unprotected list? If not, maybe this could be it. I would say it's important enough to have it's own thread.

So if this is the unprotected list, what is the protected list? I'd have to say DeRo still being protected speaks volumes. If they think there is danger of being picked up even at his salary, doesn't that speak volumes to people here who say otherwise?

it's up under the expansion news thread i started up, im editing the first post to keep up with incoming info.

Dero has been the top scorer for the team since he's been here. Since Fuad and OBW are on the unprotected list along with Barrett, they probably see Maicon becoming our go to striker. Dero will probably still play in an offensive midfield role and try setting up Maicon and Maicon can either score or wait for Dero to run up and pass to him.

The signing of Ent also helps since he's a winger and will probably play the wing between Dero and Maicon.

Keeping Frei is also a HUGE plus. He saved us many a time and I hope to continue seeing his amazing saves. Hopefully we can bring the amount of shots he faces down a bit if we get a better defender or 3.

^ what will speak volumes is whether he is here in 2011 on opening day.

Protecting him means he is considered an asset. Either to us in the line up or to us as a tradeable player.

Last year we protected Attakora, Brennan, Cronin, de Guzman, DeRosario, Gomez, Sanyang, Serioux, White and Wynne.

Cronin, Wynne and Serioux all got dealt and Brennan retired.

Cronin, Wynne and Serioux all got dealt and Brennan retired.

And Cronin and Wynne went on to have success in the playoffs, including Wynne winning his first MLS Cup. And from all those players traded or retired, what do we have to show for it?

^ What's your point?

[Roogsy]

I don't view our trading history as an accurate measure of our football smarts last year.

[Pookie]

Fair enough but the point is about whether his being protected "Speaks Volumes."

All it means is that he is considered a potential asset. Either to us or to someone else. It doesn't mean he is the defacto leader going forward and it is impossible to live without him.

He might be back but for the record, my money is him landing on the west coast (Vancouver, SJ or back in Texas).
