I wonder if Schellas’ great strength (and the thing that makes him most attractive to the Hunts) is patience — patient enough to stick with a system, patient enough to make a move only when it’s the right one, patient enough to only want to make a splash when it’ll impact the club’s bottom line.

Slow and steady is good. However, following the 2007 Denilson debacle, I wonder if we’ll ever see significant (or creative) risk taking anytime soon.

I understand that I want to see a move this week because I’m a STH. And because I like comebacks. But if I was the team owner, and I saw that the transfer cupboard was bare, I’d not risk forcing any old move. Especially if it’d play to empty stands and wouldn’t help me get a return on my investment.

I am glad that we are seeing some fight and attitude from Cunningham. I have felt that FC Dallas are too much of nice guy team. I liked Carlos Ruiz from years ago because in his day he had the same great scoring touch as cooper but he was not afraid to mix it up and play with an edge. Bravo to the team for getting some edge and fight.

Players like Benitez and Harris show that Hyndman is learning how MLS works and players that can be successful and fit it from jumpstreet.

Rumors are the Holden is wanting to trial in Europe and try to get on with a club there. Since he holds a Scottish passport, its a good bet that he’s as good as gone. If he re-signs with MLS, then he’ll get stuck here like Taylor Twellman did. Besides, if he doesnt find a club during the window, he’s still free to sign anywhere and could come back to MLS with a full pre-season, Hosuton would still hold his rights, i assume.
