IIRC, we got Creavalle when we needed midfield depth. Once we got midfield depth, Vanney tried to make him into a RB. We all remember that.
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.
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.
David Edgar on trial with Caps
“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.”
-Eduardo Galeano
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.

Chicago announces termination of his contract by mutual agreement.

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

We also did that with Elmer.
I think its more newsworthy if agreements are unmutual.
FORMER FULL TIME KOOL-AID DRINKER
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.

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

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.
Sounds like Lloyd Sam is going to DC
Sounds like he's not very happy about it
