By the way
The George John thing is done. Goal.com says loan with a buy option and I’ve heard similar but no confirmation.
Will be announced later today or tomorrow.

Length of loan?
Is this is a two month loan or for the indefinite future?
With only one year on his contract
I can’t imagine it’s anything but 2-month with option to buy. Hope the option is large, because they won’t have other clubs bidding in March.
here for the fun
was hoping for Hedges, but not sure if the Jackson news doesn’t make Garza the better play

First huge news of the day
Kenny Cooper traded to New York for draft pick and huge allocation money

Whoa...
Weird that he can’t find a home, and he is certainly second fiddle there.

Another team
That thinks they can have him be that target striker where he would be so perfect.
Won’t happen.
Also, the fact that he’s been shopped around tells me that Dallas likely had a shot and passed on him. Kenny wouldn’t have been a bad backup to Blas but too expensive.

Nice for Kenny!
I never liked him at Portland. Hopefully he can pick a few things up from King Henry! Maybe he can find his way back into a USMNT camp in the next year?

wow.
makes you wonder if they expect to get Henry back at the end of the loan…? Kenny may not have been superstud of 2011, but he produced enough (and is still young enough) not to be content as second string…
…and what does that mean for poor young Agudelo, further beaten down into the Reserve league?
DallasTilIDie

Yes...
They expect to get him back, and honestly, it will be a big fail for the league and NYRB if they don’t get him back.

Agudelo
No faith in Agudelo from Hans Backe. Time to trade him if you ask me. (and no I don’t see FCD going for him either)

he'd be
a second string guy here as well… would be nice for him and brek to get some PT together seeing as how JK seems to keep calling them both in.

think NYRB is holding him just for cash?
doesn’t seem to be their style…and I don’t see him placing too high in Europe just yet either…midtable championship? He’d be a nice addition to a lot of FMF teams, but that wouldn’t boost his NT career much…or NYRBs bottom line.

It'd be a shame if he didn't.
He’s got the talent but he needs a system that fits him a bit more. It could be last year was the start of some sort of downward slide but I don’t think so, not just yet.

Tony Cascio or Dom Dwyer.

This FCD Pick ...
will say a lot about this season I think and provide a lot of insight as to what has been going on behind closed doors
I don't know
In the end, 11th picks tend not to make much impact in MLS. I hope whoever they get turns out well, but I don’t think he’s going to have a huge impact on the season.
Are we up?
We should have traded down for RG3.

I'm not totally sold on him
but it’s a very sensible/logical pick and I won’t complain even if he’s a bust.
www.mavsmoneyball.com
Solid Pick
I think FC Dallas may have made the smartest pick for the club. I probably would have been shortsided by the GA tags available.
GJ replacement though, sounds great, Dallas Til I Die!
If he pans out, FCD's set in the back for years.
Between Ugo, Lucho, Hedges, and eventually Boyd, FCD looks to be set for cost-effective CBs for the next decade.
Hedges!
Solid pick that can play immediately in the back.

TRading What?
what do the have to trade. we are already thin in a lot of positions and hopefuly using ourr allocation money.
They've got allocation to spare by my calculations
There’s also picks in next year’s draft, rights to guys way down the depth chart, etc.
what do we have
to get us another pick…
is there anything out there worth shifting more around for?
by Timothy Winning Voyles on Jan 12, 2012 11:58 AM CST up reply actions
even if they don't their might be some useful undrafted players to invite to camp
After all, there’s only 38 picks this year.
If Ivo isn’t picked, you’d think they have the inside track on getting him into camp.
would have been nice to get something today for Hall
…no such luck

They don't have to cut everyone loose now.
Villar and Cruz will have to prove their worth in camp. I can’t imagine Galindo returning.
You think so?
Blaz Perez was a huge signing! Lucho should be a solid addition, too.
I’m disappointed that it looks like they’ll lose Jackson and Chavez, but signing or trading for that need is only pressing issue left.
blas is no
Drogba or Ronaldinho… or so many others that have been talked about lol

Talked about by who?
Your bringing it up in the comments section doesn’t make it a viable aim for the club.

there was plenty of buzz on mlssoccer.com

by Timothy Winning Voyles on Jan 12, 2012 12:12 PM CST up reply actions
sure
I just don’t think it’s fair to even bring them up in comparison to Blaz. I always thought someone on Perez’ level was the best-case scenario considering HSG.
oh yeah
HSG won’t drop a dime more than they can find in the seats…
man it would be nice to get some owners who WANT to spend some extra bucks…
I was perfectly shocked when he was signed, I really figured they’d go with a complete no name guy… I’d never head of DF when he was brought in.

GJ to West Ham
Will FC Dallas get any money at the end of the season for GJ IF the loan is not converted into a long term contract? The Goal.com article mentions a “transfer clause”.
Marcel
my best guess
if 2-month loan isn’t converted to transfer, FCD will have to either sell him in summer window (for peanuts), or he’ll leave on a free.
That sucks.
Or mayyyyyyyybe he says MLS is more fun and comes back. One can dream right?

Yeah but that wasn't a draft pick trade.
For this year. That was a 2013 pick.
I just think it shows low value of the draft
This draft is becoming less and less important with every year, so clubs aren’t going to trade away assets to move up very often.
