Good points, guys. And I’m pretty sure my man Steve would agree. At least, that’s what the last sentence of the post tells us.

Steve, the Sounders could buy out one of their 3 DPs, but another, more likely scenario being mooted around these parts appears to be an extension for Rosales with a renegotiated salary that would bring him underneath the DP threshold. All indications we’re getting in Soundersland are that Hanauer and Co. still want to bring in a DP attacker.

I don’t think that means that signing went as “poof” as you think.
Sigi said exactly that the other day. It may or may not happen, but there are a lot of ways around that and Seattle has the means to do it.
If you were a betting man, would you go with one of the most profitable teams in all the world of soccer, or a team that is on the verge of being punished for being the exact opposite. There are other factors obviously, both plusses and minuses.

With as good as some of the young guys look at Seattle, look out if they add someone that can score a ton. Can they start a guy who has never played a real professional game and is 19 over a guy who plays for the Swedish Nat team ? In the first game of the year ?
