[...] punishment was to be traded to San Jose so we can actually have a draft pick next season. Which, as Peter Welpton points out, will likely be the #2 overall pick. We probably would have used that pick to secure the services [...]

Allocation money? Possibly to be used in a new offer to keep Cooper in hoops?

If only…

Andre Akpan is the guy from Harvard, but I dont think he is ready to make an impact in the MLS yet, lets wait and see.

3nout, its Marcus Tracy. he was the 2nd best forward in college soccer last season, maybe 3rd, and the other 2 arent doing much. Nyarko was best and he cant get on the field in Chicago w/ all of their scoring troubles. he’s behind Barrett (traded to TFC), Rolfe (hurt), Frankowski, and Carr, and Blanco depending where he’s listed.

My opinion on the other is our friend from Harvard. his name escapes me, but he’s from Dallas also.

it may not be the #2 overall, but i like having 2-1st rounders like we did last year. we could always package them to go up if needed or get a really good vet.

i personally like that fwd from wake forest that was much talked about last year. i believe his name was marcus johnson? either way, only good can come out of this since we already saw how much artie did for us.

so, in hindsight, we got bruno and a #1 for artie and 2nd + 3rd round picks. i like our chances

Bye…now show me Sikora and keep kcj. Add a striker and outside back, and we are back in the hunt.

Should have been done after the red card ended our season in Houston last year. Best move Schellas has made. Surprised they got such value for him.

Sorry to say that this pick from SJ that was dealt is actually Houston’s #1 pick (acquired for Kei Kamara). TFC retain SJ’s #1 pick (likely #2) in the deal for ROB as previously mentioned.

I thought San Jose already traded their first rounder for Ronnie Obrien? If it is San Jose’s natural first rounder than this is a very good trade, but if it ends up being towards the bottom of the first round hopefully FCD will use the saved money to bring in some quality.

Well, if so…they sure missed on this one. Good riddance.
