    This...just compare the Scottish Cup final with two 2nd Division teams making the final to the English Cup final. The big money game was second best.

    Creavalle was never going to get the chance to be a DM here.

    NOW, as for his play this season, he's playing in a 4-2-3-1 as a right DM. So its not like he has to do all the passing out of the back or the defending of the back line on his own.

    I'd say he's playing as good as Warner played last season but not as good as Johnson.

    And the fact that Aaron Maund went down a league for a time, came back up to fill a spot and surprised everyone 2 games in a row.

    Coyle just got the Blackburn job, looks like he was plotting his exit before it happened.

    Yes, looks like everyone gets to save face and walk away happy. Except, I imagine, Blackburn fans, if there are any still in existence.

    Browsing the Rangers rumours site and Fanedno Adi and Lee Nguyen are being thrown out as targets. Some goof also posted a Seba rumour but everyone else shot it down pretty quickly. Interesting to see MLS players creep up more and more in European rumours.

    Adi has been linked to a string of teams recently.

    Waston has been more often a liability than not so far this season. Really weird considering how strong he was last season. Ka is on his last legs and he should be gone at the end of the season.
    If the price is right, Edgar can fill multiple roles as CB, RB and DM. Always useful to have one of these guys. I can also see Edgar taking over RB which has been a problem spot for the Caps

    Edgar is one of the players I had hoped we would go after but it doesn't surprise me he is looking within the league.

    Why don't we ever "mutually agree to terminate contract"?

    I think its more newsworthy if agreements are unmutual.

    I mean for significant contracts.
    Im sure this Gila thing is mutual because he has another team interested. We had to waive him and eat a part of his salary, while Chicago manages to mutually terminate, and get cap space.

    Did we really have to take on part of his salary? I didn't think so. If the player is claimed on waivers I thought the team picking him up picks up the whole salary as well.

    If you count nudging players towards retirement I guess you could say we managed to mutually terminate the contracts of Frings, Caldwell and Califf.

    IIRC Frings was a buyout, though they announced it as him retiring or something like that. But I think O'Dea was mutual termination

    12 goals in 46 games. Not enough for what the Caps wanted.

    with most of that production coming in his first 10 games.
    Good holdup #9 with solid work rate, just totally lost all confidence around the goal last 30+ games. Play in the CCL game here probably was the last straw for Robbo.

    Heath out in Orlando. I thought he'd be gone by the end of last season. Not the best of tactician. Speculation turning to Dunga.

    Just couldn't get the best out of his squad. Probably didn't get fired because he's been with Orlando for so long (since 08). Mark Watson also sacked as assistant coach.

    Interesting article by Orlando's former beat reporter - Orlando losing its strong initial local roots and alienating its fan base. Call them TFC 2.0

    Dunga wouldn't surprise. No doubt it will be a Brazilian as replacement.
