[Tom in Fairfield CT]

OUT: Henry and Olave

Oof. Poor beef drinks.

OUT: Henry and Olave

Oof. Poor beef drinks.

I'm not even sure what that means, but NYRB is definitely weaker by losing those 2 plus Meara.

 

[Tom in Fairfield CT]

I'm not even sure what that means, but NYRB is definitely weaker by losing those 2 plus Meara.

Thats what I mean, that is like two of their biggest contributors gone. Many think BWPs season was a direct result of Henry. And Olave seemed to be the only thing keeping the D together.

 

[Kjbert]

Looks like Cubo Torres is off to LA Galaxy.

Where does he play with Zardes and Keane?

Garberfied

 

[Kjbert]

I guess they could go 4-3-3

With Zardes on the left, Cubo up top and Keane on the right??

 

[Paul]

Has Keane said he's definitely coming back? I think after the MLS Cup final he left if up in the air. Maybe that's changed since though.

 

[franchise646]

Looks like Cubo Torres is off to LA Galaxy.

Where does he play with Zardes and Keane?

If it's true that Keane isn't coming back then Galaxy would have one of the best young attack in MLS.

 

[Kjbert]

I hadn't read that Keane wasn't returning. Where is he off to?

 

[franchise646]

I hadn't read that Keane wasn't returning. Where is he off to?

It's just rumors at this point, maybe to Europe.

 

[Tom in Fairfield CT]

I hadn't read that Keane wasn't returning. Where is he off to?

He made comments like he could leave, but Arenas made it sounds like it was just negotiating tactics on his part

 

[Kjbert]

Just read that he is considering leaving and QPR are interested

 

[whill4]

Keane won't leave. They'll double his salary if they have to. I think Arena will probably drop Zardes back to the wing and play Cubo up with Keane.

Or play Cuba at Landon's spot.

Brek Shea from Stoke City to Orlando City
http://www.orlandosentinel.com/spor...the-pitch/os-orlando-city-20141214-story.html

 

[USAfan6]

Shea is a high quality MLSer, for Orlando City to get him on a non-DP deal is a good piece of business by them.

 

[MagnusPax]

Shea is a high quality MLSer, for Orlando City to get him on a non-DP deal is a good piece of business by them.

Actually I think he is a shell of his former self. Maybe he can be useful in time.

 

[USAfan6]

Actually I think he is a shell of his former self. Maybe he can be useful in time.

Oh I agree right now he is, but he has a lot of natural gifts and I think he will get back to his former self. I might be wrong though.

 

[Kjbert]

Shea has natural gifts that are hard to overlook. I think you can question his passion, much as you can question the passion for Juan Agudelo. But if he wants to work hard, he is easily amongst the most naturally gifted American players out there right now.

Imagine if he had the work rate and passion of Michael Bradley?
