Quote from: 2011 Protect PlayersArnaud, DavyBesler, MatthewBunbury, TealCollin, AurelienEspinoza, RogerKamara, KeiMyers, ChanceNielsen, Jimmy (GK)Santos, Julio CesarSapong, CJZusi, Graham(fwiw)I think we are going to leave Myers unprotected. He's probably a core player, but I don't know if we can afford to keep him on that big salary we just gave him with those two new DP contracts. If we can afford it, by all means, he's my first choice right back ahead of Igor and Ellis.Making a list is going to be so rough ridin' hard for this offseason. We have so many good players. I'm freaking out we're going to lose Saad or someone like that.

Yea Honestly though, as much as I love Dom and as good a player as he is, if he's set on going back to England I'm ok with leaving him unprotected. Him playing a season or 2 in Orlando at the MLS level would have bit of poetic justice to it
we don't have to protect DPs, and homegrown correct?
You have to be sneaky when you pick your protected players.

Quote from: Cartierfor3 on July 21, 2014, 11:38:46 AMGuys I really enjoyed the WC and I want to be happy about SKC and stuff but its hard to not be angry. No one, not one person, gave an eff when they were the Wizards. Now the bandwagon overflowth. And, the fan base hasn't earned this, they've never suffered. i dunno guys maybe I'm just still sad because of the Royals suckage.The re-brand was very important, and the fact that it coincided with the stadium and the winning was very important.I know how the ownership group operates (); once they committed to the re-brand, it was going to be top notch.SKC wins and does things to help win because their ownership, from the top down, doesn't accept anything less. Ever.I think fans in KC find that to be refreshing.

Ever.I think fans in KC find that to be refreshing.I tend to think the stadium factor is overblown. Maybe not after playing at the baseball stadium but if Sporting would have stayed in Arrowhead and rebranded and got super awesome, they could be filling Arrowhead Seattle style. I'm glad they got their own stadium though although the location sucks for this city guy.

Wouldn't letting Chance go and selling Claudio and drafting GA guys allow enough room to give raises to Dom and Benny and keep everyone?

Zusi 365k with 398k guaranteed.200+398=598368+368=736Yeah, I hope so. Ideally, I want to keep Chance too.
