Period. <br /><br />He was a big part of the team's construction with Onalfo so his "grace" period will be up at season's end.Reepicheephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01614939842967705669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36669930.post-38865439745038056742010-05-31T02:37:28.886-05:002010-05-31T02:37:28.886-05:00more of the same, 4-3-3 with players who cant play...more of the same, 4-3-3 with players who cant play it and a coach who puts in question if he really understands itMOUFWASHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16464173073658108253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36669930.post-52834987743020074172010-05-30T23:10:33.425-05:002010-05-30T23:10:33.425-05:00prophet, 99% of those MLS partnerships come to mea...prophet, 99% of those MLS partnerships come to mean jack shit. See Wizards-Atlas, Chicago-Moreila, RSL-Real Madrid, Colorado-Arsenal, San Jose-Spurts, the list goes on and on and on of "partnerships" that start off with comments of "player exchanges" that never come true.<br /><br />I will agree we need a number 10, but I'm tired of trying to tap the South American market the way we have already tried to.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36669930.post-28273802845981736192010-05-30T23:08:05.171-05:002010-05-30T23:08:05.171-05:00standard practice in pro sports is to give technic...standard practice in pro sports is to give technical directors 2 coaches before you fire them.

If REal Salt lake can find a #10 surely we can. WE should form a partnership with a Brazilian or Argentine team, thats the way Dallas got David Ferriara, another #10. WEve been around longer than Real so our scouting should be more developed. I want even recomment getting two in case one gets hurt. It wouldnt be that hard picking on up from the Colombian league, or Chilean, Or Argentine frist or second division, or brazilian first or second division. The league with real gems in SOuth America is the the Uruguyan league. THe had two teams in the semis of the copa libertadores last year, and our doing great again this year. The wizards should tap into the Urugyuan league now before some other team or league does. They're is a dearth of talent there. Ferriara and Morales probe you dont need a dp to have a great playmaker.The Prohphetnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36669930.post-20911913556006275152010-05-30T19:52:16.175-05:002010-05-30T19:52:16.175-05:00Let's not forget Vermes was the guy that allow...Let's not forget Vermes was the guy that allowed every move during the Onalfo era and got a pass when Onalfo was fired. Still don't know why. Now he "reshaped" the team he allowed Onalfo to create and it's not working.<br />The team has the players, it's just not playing like a team.<br /><br />I'm sure that he can run a kids soccer organization but the Wizards in almost 4 years either as a coach or TD, the answer is no.<br /><br />BTW, fact of the day, we are ONLY 2points ahead of the team that looks to be one of the worst teams in League history. Onalfo's DC United.<br /><br />If we are not at at least 25 at the middle of the season I'd look at a new coach for the last third of the season so we can give him some time to see who he keeps and who goes.Rogernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36669930.post-36314002775504062462010-05-30T18:33:06.574-05:002010-05-30T18:33:06.574-05:00I was pretty confident that KC would be looking fo...I was pretty confident that KC would be looking for a big name DP to coincide with the new stadium next season. As the losses mount and chances go unfinished, the urgency to pick up a playmaker this summer is growing. Adding one player with a classy finishing touch would immediately put KC in the top half of the league.Nathan Martinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36669930.post-70224909346618680442010-05-30T17:52:03.813-05:002010-05-30T17:52:03.813-05:00On goal should have got rid of PV a long time ago....On goal should have got rid of PV a long time ago. Remember he was part of the problem, when Onalfo was here.
