Expansion Draft - Confirmed Protection Lists - Published?
This isn't a thread for speculating who will be on our protected list, it's to:
1. ask if anyone knows whether the official protection lists of ALL franchises are published;
2. copy them in here for discussion if so; and
3. see what people think about our official list and those of others and how the draft might go down based on those official lists.
So - anyone know if these are published? Deadline for submission is 3pm today according to the press.

normally published by Ives and Goff after 3pm.
Cool - thanks Nuvinho. I saw an interview with Mo on Soccer Central at the weekend where he said that the fans would be quite surprised by a couple of Preki's moves in terms of players in and out, so I am very interested to see our confirmed protected list.

He better not be getting rid of Nana.Originally Posted by Hitcho
from news around the league - Zakauni graduated from GA, that probably means that Frei did the same as well??
SoccerInsider
#dcu news: Gomez green card (no longer intl status), Wallace graduates from Gen Adidas, which means club must protect him in expansion draft
frei is on travels with GA, don't think so

interesting blog
Who's JDG being looked at by prizby?
not sure, i read that on another soccer website, briefly, i was only skimming though
I haven't found one leak yet or report - for any franchise. Anyone else?
"Failure simply isn't an option at this stage. TFC pushed its chips to the middle of the table when it splurged on Bradley and Defoe and reinforced its bet by making savvy acquisitions elsewhere. This collection of players is capable of delivering on the promises made during the close season. There are no more excuses available for TFC. Only success will continue the process of atoning for the past and establishing a higher standard for the future." FOX Sports
^nope....me neither
nope, it's annoying me now. the list is done, and it has to be released for Philly to know who they can choose from. so just spill it now. this impacts on every single franchise and set of fans in the league. someone should be leaking it asap...

Who's JDG being looked at by prizby?http://www.torontosun.com/sports/soc...77861-sun.htmlDesignated player Julian de Guzman didn't have to be protected, but will be. There was apparent interest from at least one another team in the DP, and Johnston obviously didn't want to risk losing the first DP in franchise history. So a better safe than sorry approach will be taken. De Guzman will be among the list of 11.

^ is there any team that wouldn't show some kind of interest in JDG if he could be taken onto their roster somehow?!

It hasn't been made public. So I have just been told. But it will be made public later today. Whatever that means.

I guess they want to double check all the lists and ensure all the relevnt criteria have been met before they release the lists, so if any team has to make a change in order to comply with the rules, then the change gets made before the lists are released.
Making a list, checking it twice, MLS Claus must be coming to town (and by town I mean Philadelphia).

What's arrived in my inbox is limited. Although a couple of the MLS/NCAA scouts have given me bits and pieces.
I've been told that Beltran, Frei, Gonzalez, Hall, Nyarko, Wallace and Zakuani have each been deemed to have graduated the Gen A program by the fine folks at MLS HQ. Rationale remains a deeply guarded secret. As such, each would have to be protected by their respective teams.
Scaryice out of Chicago has the same list but adds Alston and Zaynor as also been graduated as well. He tends to have solid sources so I'll push this list out as a start, 4 separate sources. His rationale is based on minutes played and starts earned - or some kind of blended formula of those 2 stats.
As far as team lists, I'm SOL right now. Everyone's still travelling home from Seattle.
^ thanks dude. that makes a big difference as Frei has got to be protected.
Wow - we could have a string of first teamers left open this year, all of Brennan, Serioux, Robbo, Guevara, Vitti (is he even available for selection?), Gerba and Barrett could find themselves unprotected.
Either that or young (inexpensive) talent like Edwards, Gomez, Sanyang, White etc will be open.
Man I hate the expansion draft.

Real Salt Lake:
Javier Morales, Jamison Olave, Fabian Espindola, Chris Seitz, Nick Rimando, Robbie Findley, Kyle Beckerman, Nat Borchers, Will Johnson, Chris Wingert and Tony Beltran, according to Deseret News.
Robbie Russell, Ned Grabavoy, Pablo Campos, Andy Williams, Clint Mathis left unprotected. (source ASN)
i know mlsr isnt the most reliable but they had RSL's list up a few minutes ago.
On MLSr (http://www.mls-rumors.net/4679/2009/...ected-lists/):
Attakora-Gyan, Nana, Barrett, Chad, Brennan, Jim, Cronin, Sam, de Guzman, Julian, DeRosario, Dwayne, Gomez, Emmanuel, Sanyang, Amadou, Serioux, Adrian, White, O’Brian, Wynne, Marvell
Confirmed by Ives: http://www.soccerbyives.net/soccer_b...-unveiled.html
Also says Frei has graduated.
HE BETTER NOT MOVE NANA OR CRONIN!
Should have left Brennan and Barrett unprotected IMO
barret and brennan... really????
Barret. Are you kidding me. Why is he protected?
Barret protected and Frei left exposed...
Has Philly already signed a starting goalie, because if not, we just lost Stefan Frei.
Hell, we might have lost him anyway, given his trade value.
Is this a colossal fuck up, or what? Got to be more to the story. Maybe he's already on the way to Europe?
Frei should have been a no brainer over Barrett! WTF Mo! If we lose him to Philly is Edwards going step in? Come on Mo! That is way to risky!
