He's about as close as this thing -- which is basically a list of overpriced players -- had to a bargain. If he's the new Adam Cristman (bench forward who might occasionally start), I'm reasonably pleased. At least Ngwenya might beat a defender or two to the ball. I'd rather see him blaze over the bar from a tight angle than watch Allsopp get beat in a footrace by a one-legged centerback.robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08135636157110053449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198732413882406269.post-82639178971084986512010-12-04T17:44:42.002-05:002010-12-04T17:44:42.002-05:00Conrad would be a nice upgrade over Talley and Pen...Conrad would be a nice upgrade over Talley and Pena to mentor the young'uns but the price is steep. Hejduk would be a great locker room guy and good for a few drinks and cheers with Barra - not sure how much he has left on the field - Gibbs isn't worth it - he was always the guy with potential who's now run out of time and is ust ordinary. Schelloto is the class of this class and truest to what we used to call the DCU way. If he could give us a good two years, I would be happy, but is even one year in the cards?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198732413882406269.post-5355022753264029432010-12-04T11:31:55.085-05:002010-12-04T11:31:55.085-05:00Completely agreed (well, obviously, given my list)...Completely agreed (well, obviously, given my list). Conrad had to be up for the "Most Spent Player" award last year. That said, he does bring valuable leadership qualities, a big, marketable personality, and other such intangibles. But for that salary? I'd rather have on-field qualities...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198732413882406269.post-52552577830266914582010-12-04T11:26:39.333-05:002010-12-04T11:26:39.333-05:00Gibbs seems the obvious choice here - experience *...Gibbs seems the obvious choice here - experience *and* pace? Yes, please. I know a lot of people are excited about Conrad but man, he really put up some poor performances at times this season, and his cap number isn't exactly miniscule.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13636252400013702060noreply@blogger.com
