Palmer-Brown, Gardner, and Bessone News
Some Sporting KC player news.
Palmer-Brown called up
Sporting KC's youngest player, 16 year old, Erik Palmer-Brown will be spending more time with the US U18 team. Palmer-Brown has been called up by U18 coach, Javier Perez for training camp in Florida, starting on Saturday the 4th and running through the 11th.
With Palmer-Brown likely to get very few chances at the moment, getting this time with the US team is big for him.
Gardner re-signed
Josh Gardner will be spending another year in Kansas City. Sporting KC announced today that the defender had re-signed with the club for the 2014 season. Gardner made eight league appearances, starting two games, he also appeared in two CCL games and two US Open Cup games.
I don't dislike this move. While I wasn't a huge fan of Gardner, and felt he struggled greatly at times with KC, especially in the Open Cup loss to Orlando, he gives KC veteran experience to play out wide. With the addition of Sal Zizzo though I hope this keeps Gardner on defense and not in the wing forward position.
Bessone not returning
Almost as a side note in the discussion of Gardner re-signing was the news that defender, Federico Bessone will not be returning to the club in 2014. Bessone dressed for a number of matches, including MLS Cup, but the Argentine never actually played a game for Sporting KC.

Sporting Sign Left Back Bessone
Today is the MLS roster freeze deadline, it's the last day that teams can sign players until after the season. Sporting Kansas City moved today to get them some depth on the left side of their back line. They announced the signing of Argentine left back, Federico Bessone.
The 29 year old Bessone is a product of the Barcelona youth system, although the highest he made it there was to Barcelona's C team (Oriol Rosell made B). Since leaving Barcelona, he's spent most of his playing career in England, playing with Swansea City, Leeds, Charlton, Swindon, and most recently Oldham Athletic. He has played a whole lot at any of the locations though.
He's likley mainly going to be a depth signing for left back, but he'll also be pushing Seth Sinovic hopefully at the same time. Of course I thought similar things about Neven Markovic last year, he played 2 games and is now in the Swiss Second Division.
This moves looks like it could be KC's only one today. With the signing and the return of KC's players in Orlando, that puts Sporting at the roster limit of 30. To bring anyone else in, they'd need to send someone else out. The window to sign players is until 4pm Central Time today.
