Anyone else want Kasey Keller?

Teams ought not to be able to score 4 goals in a game...if they do, it should be apparent the other team is woefully outmatched all over the field. Watching RSL give up cheap goals is far more frustrating than scoring a brace will ever manage to compensate for. Our inability to defend effectively and deny other teams posession borders on criminal.

Well sure. But to an average fan who knows very little about the tactics? They're going to be bored to tears. You have to put people in the seats to pay for a team, much less Kasey Keller. I don't think it would be a wise move over-all, no matter how amazing it would be to have him as our keeper.

I think you give average fans too little credit. Watching a hard-fought tie is fun...it's the ties where we gave up a late goal that are mind-numbingly painful.

i'm with heretic here. Real have proven that they can score goals. Our problem, generally is that we're conceding too many. While we are conceding too many we are throwing away both wins and draws. Once we can stop that problem we will be getting more points and therefore more people will want to come see us

I agree with all of that. I don't however agree with getting rid of all of our goal-scorers in order to get Kasey Keller. Do we need a better keeper? YES! And I disagree, ties are the most boring thing in the world.

Tay...

Kreis, Tejada and Rimando are our goal scorers???? Ok I will say that Kreis did score 8 goals last year but I think it is time for him to retire, or go to Toronto and I also think he has other affects on the team that have nothing to do with him scoring. And I agree Heretic about ties.

:velho: (just thought that was cool)
