I think Pearce is going to do a wonderful job he’s really fast and is a good runner

Purdy was the starting center defender in the preseason and worked well with Sala, but disjointed with Burse, then he was severely injured. He has been injured the entire season since the first Chivas match. He has not been medically cleared.

FCD should be fine on cap. Pearce’s deal will be prorated over the short stretch of the season, plus bought down by allocation.

How do we make all this work with the salary cap.. I’m sure Heath didn’t come over for anything less than 200k..

JC is 200k +, so is VDB.

I haven’t seen numbers for Ferreira, Chavez or Benitez, but I don’t think they were cheap either.

I realize that some of these guys don’t count full… but I’m thinking that for next year it would be a tight squeeze.

Any idea where we are on cap Buzz? There’s been a lot of movement.

Apart from the implosion at NY, we really have been playing better. Sure the results haven’t been what we wanted but we have looked like a force out there. This pick up is a smart one and gives us the added depth needed going forward. I was less shocked by releasing Purdy and not surprised at all by the termination of Sanchez. Plus on the attacking side I am looking forward to seeing how Chavez can add to Ferreira’s attack and what it does for JC9. We have awen how Benitez and Ihemilu like to get forward ans i beleive we have a well put together back thurd now. We really do have some good things going on!!!

this team doesnt know each other to really be playing better. they are akin to an amateur squad picking up players to play in a summer league. nobody knows the style of play and its tough to get a read on somone in a few weeks. Besides, SH wants them to play like robots (like his SMU teams) and that just doesnt work in the pros.

We have added good players I will say that but the thing is the team isn’t playing any better. That all falls on the coach.
