Weakest link

I think the problem with the midfield is it's not quite the right mixture yet. They work hard. But Andy Williams working hard and playing defense still isn't the same as having someone who can truely read and react both ways. The same with Klein and Kreis to a less extent I think the midfield needs one more two-way player, especially on the left. One of my knocks on Forko is that I'd like to see him do more to come up. Problem is, he really doesn't have that choice as it is right now.

Question - f4denz mentioned having Williams around to come off the bench. The same with Kries in midfield. Question is, with the MLS and the salary cap, do you want to keep both of them around, especially if they're not going to be starters? Seems like the defense still needs some work.

Sorry to hear about Broome. That's too bad.

That is very good news that Pope's contract is up this year. I don't mind keeping him around if he takes a huge pay cut, but if not he is replaceable. Just look at our record when he was out for the World Cup.
