Here's a trade.
well okay then
He was the Rapids first pick in 2006.
did well last year before his injury
So one of our Americans has to go, since he'll take up an American spot.
is he central or wide? please say wide...

He did play wide, but not a natural wide player (as some are saying).
Hold on, TFC bio (follow mo's comment link above from nuvinho and click bio at the bottom) is saying he's a forward...
"He is a skillful and tricky forward that creates problems for opposing teams' defenses with his quick moves and natural ability, which he developed during his years with the NCAA Men's Soccer Champion Indiana University and the youth ranks of the U.S. Men's National Team."
So midfield or forward? If forward, then 2 goals in 23 appearances (12 starts) is not good at all, even for a rookie.
Sounds like he's neither a forward nor a natural winger nor an out and out central player (which we have too many of already anyway). He's young (and quick by the sounds of it) so can be moulded perhaps, but at this stage I'm wondering if we wouldn't be better served bringing in players who are natural wingers/forwards instead? Otherwise, he's another square peg in a round hole and that's not really what we need right now.
Not judging because way too early to even start thinking of that, just commenting...

In Preki We Trust
When I saw him play....he played out wide I remember. He didn't play up top with the rapids, since they had Cummings and Casey.Originally Posted by Hitcho
attacking midfielder. Well I guess we need another one...as long as he plays wide it's cool.
FORMER FULL TIME KOOL-AID DRINKER
Anyone have the cap hit?
I guess this is the 1st of Preki's hand picked players. I hope he's good!
$118,750 guaranteed, $100,000 base (cap hit?)
Thoughts on his wide play based on what you saw?

Another midfielder?
^^ Guys, he plays the wing. We don't have wingers.
we dont have that many good midfielders you know. 3-4 right now. thats still not enough to be a top level team.
who cares? The first one makes him look damn fast, and what we really badly need is someone who can stick the ball into the back of the net from inside the area, which is exactly what he did for the second one. Just steer it home.
If he scores 10 ugly goals a season we'll love him for it.

from what i can remember
he had good reaction speed, and could turn on a sprint no problem at all.
hopefully my blurred memory from drinking is accurate.
he was playing against robertson that game.
See how this goes.
Former 1st round pick, can play wide, and at his age he may have potential upside. At 100K, why not? Considering our lack of wingers it's still an upgrade...
He's a second round pick.
He had a nice play in the home game we had here against the Rapids in September (at least I think it was him). You can see it at about the 25 second mark. Picks off a Brennan throw in, shows speed, almost converts the return

no such thing as an ugly goal.
Goals aren't girls. They can be ugly.
