so how do we feel about the overall roster moves so far? I'm looking for a nice CN or brief summary, I haven't been able to follow all the moves.

what's your favorite player? yeah, he's gone.

that protected list!

"@thegoalkeeper: Good to see that Major League Soccer is offering a live audio stream of tomorrow's Expansion Draft conference call with Orlando and NYCFC."

It's at 1pm central

we've talked about MLS player movement in this thread

it's part of the league, you can't decide to hate it when your favorite player leaves

Fwiw I think we will still have a squad capable of making the playoffs even in the west, and I bet we got some moves that will excite coming up in the next few months

sunny_cat · « **Reply #5281 on:** December 09, 2014, 10:45:28 PM »

I'm not scared of the west at all. LA may be losing Keane on top of LD. They'll obviously be bringing in big name replacements but who knows how long it takes them to figure out the league.

Seattle may be the only elite team in the west next year.

Tobias · « **Reply #5282 on:** December 09, 2014, 10:48:28 PM »

west match ups will be 10x more entertaining

mocat · « **Reply #5284 on:** December 10, 2014, 10:55:56 AM »

Yes the west teams are way more fun.

sunny_cat · « **Reply #5285 on:** December 10, 2014, 01:06:45 PM »

Orlando:
Donovan Ricketts
Tony Cascio
Jalil Anibaba
Pedro Ribeiro - Robb tweeted "nice pick by Orlando" right after this. I expect him to be our player.

Lewis Neal
Jairo Arrieta
Heath Pearce
Danny Mwanga
Mark Sherrod
Eric Gehrig

NYCFC:
Ned Grabavoy
Patrick Mullins
Jason Hernandez
Daniel Lovitz
Tony Taylor
Mehdi Ballouchy
George John
Tommy McNamara
Sal Zizzo
Chris Wingert

Okay it's over.

Per source, Orlando City will ship its third pick, Jalil Anibaba to Sporting Kansas City as part of the Aurelien Collin deal.

Player with lots of versatility. Can play center back and right back pretty well. PV loves versatility.

I'm a fan of this pickup.

joda · « **Reply #5287 on:** December 10, 2014, 01:47:18 PM »

Seems like that went about as well as it could have for Sporting. Lose no one they probably weren't going to lose otherwise and pick up a decent player.

sunny_cat · « **Reply #5288 on:** December 10, 2014, 01:58:56 PM »

Anibaba + allocation money for Collin who was gone anyway. PV is the master.

Also, waiver draft is this afternoon. We usually pass, but McDowell says PV has indicated we'll be active in all venues, so we may not.

Trade window now open until again until 4pm tomorrow.

EDIT: not quite

I am being told that the post draft trade window does not officially open until 4 CT #MLS

sunny_cat · « **Reply #5290 on:** December 10, 2014, 02:47:04 PM »

Every sounders fan seems ecstatic to have gotten rid of Anibaba.

sunny_cat · « **Reply #5291 on:** December 10, 2014, 03:35:34 PM »

Steuble and Duke were also apparently waived. Waiver draft just started

sunny_cat · « **Reply #5292 on:** December 10, 2014, 04:00:15 PM »

Cal Williams and Diego will not return next season. I'll miss Cal.

really? That sucks. Were they not offered contracts?

MakeItRain · « **Reply #5294 on:** December 10, 2014, 04:12:59 PM »

Also if we get stuck with one of those 810 guys doing TV I will absolutely freak out

sunny_cat · « **Reply #5295 on:** December 10, 2014, 04:15:40 PM »

Diego wasn't good. I'm sure Cal got a great offer from somewhere bigger. He's young. I'm hoping Yadrich is back on color. Don't know who will do play by play. No way it's 810 guys. Robb clearly emphasizes commentators going out and getting Cal.

CNS · « **Reply #5296 on:** December 10, 2014, 05:21:33 PM »

Really liked Cal

sunny_cat · « **Reply #5297 on:** December 10, 2014, 06:33:05 PM »

Quote from: Robb

Easy to c reaction on my feed. Cal was great for skc and captured some of our greatest moments with incredible skill. What we want in that role is someone that will be here for the very long term and, like cal, build a strong relationship w our fans. Understandably Cal has other career aspirations which doesn't come as a huge surprise. Unfortunately sometimes things just don't match up, but we wish Cal a great career, and he will always have a prominent place in skc lore.
