Litmus test for me...
1) Is he better than the guy he would replace? If yes...
2) Is he a disruption in the locker room or is he additive?
Casillas passes the test

It's not our money and if there isn't another place to spend it, let the team go for it
LA has all that extra money from Omar and Juninho's sale in addition to the freed salary.
I read that they weren't given allocation money for Omar. They were given allocation money for Juninho.
Another reason Poku will be sold
If we sell Poku before winning 5 consecutive MLS cups, I'm going to be like that xmen cartoon meme of Wolverine holding Jean's picture.

Getting an additional int'l spot is a non-issue, and never will be an issue. You can trade a bag of balls for an extra spot.
Boooooooooo. Thanks for the info though.
And in regards to trading for an international spot, yeah they usually aren't much and it will likely just be allocation money, but that allocation money is limited and is absolutely crucial to building an MLS Cup team.
You're acting like MLS / Garber doesn't just make up whatever rules they want to allow high profile players into the league.
If Iker Casillas wants to play here, it will happen.
For those of you who think Casillas coming in would be the wrong move, Alberto Moreno agrees with you.

I agree that he is not right, but to say we should spend the money elsewhere, on the defense that was so porous? We have! Matarrita gives us one of the best LBs in the league, and Brillant should be an upgrade from Facey. We should definitely go after a GK, but a guy who seems to be falling off his form doesn't make sense for any team. I feel that kennedy, Meara and Macmath have been available for the right price and would all be upgrades. The roster management at GK has been a joke.
Meara would be an upgrade? We all saw what he was capable of last year at Chicago.
Edit: Just for funsies, here was our lineup for that game against Chicago
Nemec-Shelton
Jacobson (red-carded)-Mix-Grabavoy-Ballouchy
Calle-KWS-Wingert-Brovsky
Meara
Mullins, Velasquez, and Matt Dunn were all subbed on. Oh, and Poku was on the bench and stayed there.
What a difference a full offseason makes to a roster.
