Cunningham’s Confused

July 31st, 2009 . 6:09 pm . By: Buzz Carrick

Steve Hunt’s two for two today, as Cunninhgam comments on the August 1st deadline.  The quote is in Hunt’s game preview for this weekend.  It has a bunch of good quotes in it, but this one takes the cake.

“It’s funny because I was watching the August 1 deadline to see what was going to happen with me,” Cunningham said.

Um, what?  There is no August 1st deadline.  The transfer window closes August 15th, he wouldn’t mean that anyway as that has nothing to do with a trade window.   The trade, discovery, and roster freezes are all on Spetember 15th.  So…

Anyway Cunningham has some interesting things to say with Cooper leaving and Hyndman has a guicy quote or two as well.  Worth a read.

Edit: One person who knows something about MLS suggested to me that Cunningham might have a 8/1 guarentee clause.  Rarely a MLS player will have a contractual date different from the normal guraentee date.

    “It is really neck and neck,” Hyndman said. “I think he opened the door, giving up four goals in the second half.”

    A) 1 of them was a penalty, no goalkeeper can be blamed for not saving that one.
    B) At least 2 of the other 3 were entirely on the defense in general and, more specifically, on Daniel Torre, the man that YOU subbed in.
    C) You’re a goddamn idiot Schellas.

    Rex,

    While Torres got beat, Burse looked pathetic on all 3 of the non PK goals and should have stopped at least one of them.
    Sala is a better keeper if he is full strength. Burse is learning, but Sala is the clear #1.

    To give Cunningham the benefit of the doubt – he may have been misquoted.

    Or just made had a slip of the tongue – it happens to all of us.

    If he scores four goals when he is confused, then y’all better keep him this confused all the time.

    Sure looks like he is going to catch Ante.

    I agree with Rex… one win yesterday doesn’t make me a beleiver in SH and I would be more than willing to give SH and RE a push whether the door was open or not! Get a grip SH… Cunningham and Co. played superb despite your coaching! Thanks to the TEAM for a great victory and you SH should be kissing their feet, not stabbing them in the back!
