Good Riddance

Big Goffinho is reporting that Gallardo could be on his way back to Argentina. Thank you Soccer Gods! Where do they go from here?

Pre-season training started last week and DCU has yet to announce any new signings. Plus, the international tranfer window will close in four days. I'm getting a little worried. Does the FO really think this team will be able to compete in this league this season? While other teams are bringing in new talent and adding depth; DCU is twiddling their thumbs and watching. I guess maybe I'm a little frustrated right now, but COME ON!

There have been rumors about the team signing a Brazilian centerback named Roger. The guy will be 34 in April, has had back problems the last few months. He has only been playing this position for about 2 or 3 years as well. Lets get this guy signed and throw him on the pitch at Giants stadium, or Gillette or BMO. See how his back feels then. How is this a good signing?

Some other reports have linked the team to signing Walter Martinez from a Honduras team. Except that he was just introduced to a team in Spain. They have also been linked to a couple Americans abroad, but nothing has come of that.

What's going to happen if Burch, McTavish, Janicki or Namoff get injured? What happens if Moreno gets injured? This team is screwed. There is no depth. I understand that they weren't expecting Gallardo to leave, but they should have something to fall back on.

I know I should have faith in my team. I should have faith in Kasper and Payne, but after last year, I don't. I love this team, so I'm going to sit back and pray someone knows what they're doing. I will still be cheering in the stands and I will still debate with other fans on why DC United rocks. But it doesn't mean I'm happy and it doesn't mean they are the best team in the MLS.

PLEASE PLEASE for the love of Soccer God, please add some skill and depth to this team, PLEASE!
