IIRC plays mostly CB for Honduras. And Colorado had surplus of CB so he played LB for them. I think as he get older, he'll be more of a CB than LB.
“Years have gone by and I’ve finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.
I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: ‘A pretty move, for the love of God.’
And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”

He played the majority of his games for Hull and Wigan at LB. Yea he can play CB but he defo wouldn't be worth it. He had TAM used on him so he's looking for over max salary. Would you want him here on 400k +?
Pass for me.
I foresee a bank break on the GK position since it's an easier fix than getting that one guy that can only help to fix the back so much.

There's rumors of Palermo goalie (sorry cant remeber his name) in the mix.
Rumor that Union are looking to trade Maidana
Altidore for Maidana? lol
Sorrentino?
A strong experienced GK can organize the defense. I suspect there is an experienced GK lined up since both older GK were released.
Yeah when they release 2 goalies its obvious. Goaltending should be the last of their worry's. Coaching and DM are currently the biggest issues.
any articles?
Goaltending is usually the last worry on field, too.
I look forward to them overpaying(because that's what they do most times) for a veteran Keeper that hopefully has been strong in THIS league. They've already overpaid for some of the backline so those will be harder spots to fill with quality. On that I'm sure we agree.

Definitely second-last to a first-pairing defenseman.
Seriously though, I think GK is that one position where it really doesn't matter where the player has honed his skills, so long as he had skills to hone. Keeping the ball out of the net doesn't come in many styles. I would gladly use an international spot on an experienced keeper and give him good MLS money, the importance of a solid GK is criminally undervalued.
This times a thousand
Going to Houston for Cubo Torres, is the rumour.
Goaltending was a major issue and should definitely be one of the top priorities this off season. There's no point addressing the issues on the backline if we don't have a legitimate starting goalkeeper at this level. Last season we had two guys who might be no better than a 3rd stringer on a good MLS club.
I've read he is going to Houston but have also read from beat guys on both sides that cubo is not part of that deal.
Deals can officially be made when? I'm assuming tomorrow?
Oh I'm not saying our future goal keeper needs to be from our league because of our league style of play. I was being cynical again in that it's the absolute easiest move for our management to make vs looking outside the league.

I think Johnson is going to leave Portland. If there is one guy who is a friend of Bradley I'd take a flyer on, at the right price, it would be him.
Yup the thing is he was on 314k base this season, so if we take Johnson on then we are essentially putting all our DM eggs in his basket
These guys represent Jack Jewsbury with Portland.

The fun has begun.
Damn... Party poopers.
Not surprising. Reentry lists need to be in tomorrow.
Believe trades can start happening at 10am today?
Yep, something to keep an eye on today

if it were to happen, the reaction from vancouver supporters (who appear to think they are getting him) would be priceless.Wouldn't he look good in red?

So what would our line-up look like? Based on those released and expecting Kantari to be bought out I'd hope WJ would slot in as our DMWouldn't he look good in red?
-----------------New GK----------------
Bloom----Perquis---New CB---Morrow
----------------Johnson---------------
-New----------Bradley---------Oso---
-------Altidore----------Seba---------
my guess would be:
-----------Altidore----------
Seba -----Bradley ------ Osorio
---Cheyrou/DM--Johnson----
Morrow -- Perquis -- CB ---Bloom
------------GK----------------
