I'm very excited to see where this momentum takes SKC.
I plan on attending my first MLS game next year when Sporting visit Philly.

Why do people who don't give a shit click on links they don't care about. Do they have so little self restraint or important things to do in their lives?

Simply based on age and contract, I probably would have swapped Sinovic in for Cesar or (as much as it pains me to say it) Arnaud.
Good call on Ryan Smith, Zach. Seems they got a decent bit back for him. How does the supplemental draft function again?

Bummer about Sinovic and Saad. Neither of those are a huge surprise, IMO. I was not a big Sinovic fan but my son loves him. I'm relieved but surprised about Arnaud. The rest are no brainers, IMO.

Saad was an unexpected bonus pickup this past year. I do want him to stick around and see if he can continue to develop.

My friends and I plan on getting a decent tailgate going next year. Next to country suites. The last game my friends went to we kept on more and more people going.

Very surprised about Sinovic. He's solid. Plus, I'm a little biased because I used to play with him.
I'm guessing Saad and Sinovic will both be gone. |
