Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:07:01 +0000

Landon Donovan was named the 2009 MLS Most Valuable Player on Thursday, and while it is tough to argue against awarding the U.S. national team star for his performance this season, the MVP results still raised a glaring question. What about Shalrie Joseph? It isn't a question so much ...

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 14:33:00 +0000

Really good interview with Mark McCullers by Columbus Alive's Chris Deville . Are you watching, Grant Wahl? The whole thing is pretty good, particularly if you're a Crew fan, but the best part for me was the comment on youth development: But if [the youth we develop] sign other professional ...

Is to wait and see how this one plays out. To the Columbus fans, welcome to the silly season. Lest we forget, everything in the transfer window is dramatic with Guille. Remember when he first came to Columbus? It took forever to get the deal signed, McCullers was back and forth, the deal was ...

Forget arguments about how Columbus' inability to penetrate the local market impacts MLS as a whole. They've been made, fallen on deaf ears and will continue to be ignored in favour of rationalizations/justifications until the last moving truck is pulling away from Crew Stadium. No, let's look ...

Schelotto's Status

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 20:46:00 +0000

Agree that you pay players for what they can do for you now and in the future, but for the long term good of the club, you also want to ease them out in a respectful manner.
