I don’t have anything against Shalrie Joseph, but where does he fit in the current SSFC roster? Of course, a straight up trade for Servando Carrasco would have me dancing in the streets.

Joseph as CB cover, even starter if he’s good enough at that position makes sense to me. Joseph in the MF = non-starter as at this point in his career he offers little going forward and would make a nice DM or holding man. Additionally Sounders have their least needs in the MF with Montero gone up front and a thinned and injured backline.

At 34 and evidently past his prime, I don’t see Joseph being anything other than cover for either Alonso or the CBs. His salary is high, he’s not worth a DP contract, and he’s not what he was during the hey-day of the Revs.

Go Shalrie! Love that guy. He deserves better than Chivas. He’s been a faithful servant of MLS and a huge part of its growth.
