I'm worried about Zusi, he did not have the season or the match last night that a DP on a club like sporting should have.

Zusi isn't good anymore

many people keep saying this, and I have to disagree.  In several games that he didn't notch an assist or goal in, he was the only spark in chasing the damn ball down and getting the attack started for us.  I get that people want to reduce his salary based on this year. That's fine.  But don't act like he shouldn't be on the damn team.

It's not like he's getting paid $5m a year. He's getting paid less than $700k. He also has played for USMNT non-stop and probably still isn't fully recovered from that foot injury from the winter. JK needs to stop calling him up and he'll be fine.

How could I forget?! That's why you never ask for new name suggestions folks (you just pick a good one to start off with and roll with it)  :billdance:

Each player then will see his base compensation rise to $650,000 in 2015, $700,000 the following season, $725,000 in 2017 and $750,000 during the final year. Besler also has a no-trade clause, and both players have marketing and performance bonuses that could see their income rise further. For example, Zusi will earn an additional $55,000 if SKC wins a second consecutive title. Besler will be $35,000 richer if he pockets a second MLS Defender of the Year award.

He clearly is still good enough to play, but three more years for both of these guys :sdeek:

meh. that's still not that crazy. I agree they need to improve, but I don't disagree with ownership paying up to keep them in KC.

I don't think anyone thinks Graham is overpaid, scott was just being a little emotional.

seems really stupid. Similar stance would be "no professional golfers in the U.S. Open"

Rumblings of a potential Brad Davis to SKC move.... :dunno:

Personally, I'd have him take every corner/free kick imaginable and I'd bet we'd become even better on set pieces.  After that though, would he have the stamina to play a full 90 on the squad? Would be interesting...

Would take. But no, could not be an every day starter.
