Sporting KC Thread!! (Featuring All of MLS and sometimes Mexican Leagues too)

[sunny_cat]

So far, Collin to Orlando for allocation money and Sapong to Philly for a first round draft pick. Sam MacDowell also says we're getting Bernardo Anor from Columbus for allocation money.

[joda]

The future considerations part of the Collin trade is interesting. May not amount to anything, but when making that deal with a club about to pick in an expansion draft you never know.

It'll either be they agreed not to take any of our players or to trade us one of the players they draft I'm guessing.

Orlando now has Kaka, Tally Hall, Amobi Okugo, and Collin. Great spine.

That's what I'm assuming too

Just saw DC gave international roster slot(s) to both NYC and OC for the next two seasons. More internationals signings for them in the future.

Vermes says the future considerations in the Collin deal will be a player.

Kuhn theorizes that Orlando will draft our player to take him off the board and immediately send him back.

According to Wikipedia (reliable, I know) Soony Saad will be heading to BEC Tero Sasana in the Thai Premier League #SKC #MLS @TotalMLS

Saad to Thailand is happening

[joda]

Saad to Thailand is happening

Very weird

[joda]

@TheFull90: Sporting KC protects Anor, Besler, Dwyer, Felihaber, Juliao, Myers, Nagamura, Sinovic, Opara, Medranda and Zusi.

[joda]

Medranda over Claros seems very strange to me, everyone else seems unsurprising.

hmm okay. I am on board with this.

Saad to Thailand is happening

really? wow all the great bromances on this team are vanishing.

[sunny_cat]

On board also. Medranda is really talented. Claros unprotected could have something to do with Collin's OCSC future considerations.

[sunny_cat]

I'll melt down when The Answer gets drafted.

Holy crap. No more red head, big head I associate Lalas more with MLS than with international soccer. Really surprised he took the deal and Twellman didn't, I would have thought the opposite.

[sunny_cat]

Twellman just signed like an 8 year deal with ESPN. FOX needed big time help since they're getting MLS in place of NBC next season.

I'm going to miss the F out of that podcast

[ednksu]

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.
