We seem wedded to the 3-5-2, and with Jakovic in the center and Janicki as depth, why are we wasting a senior roster spot on a third-stringer that we're loaning out to USL2 teams? Seems to me we could use an energetic midfielder with range and bite that allows Wallace to get back on the left flank.<br /><br />Maybe I'll draw up a depth chart with potential holes that need to be filled. As for a "what it?" series, speculative is right up my alley, but it's hard to say what other moves might have accompanied changes in the draft, etc. For example, if we go after Frei, I'm assuming we would have been looking for journeyman forward/wing depth that might have equaled what Pontius has done. Or maybe Boyzzz would have been picking up the minutes that his performances against the Fire and Red Bulls say he might merit? Much too subjective a can of worms, but I'll think about it...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198732413882406269.post-2036899993819799572009-06-14T18:51:07.054-04:002009-06-14T18:51:07.054-04:00Great write-up!

I still dont know why DC started Jaime Moreno last night... I told my girlfriend he wouldnt last 50 minutes; and alas, he lasted only 36 minutes. I also agree with you about Olsen - I think he would be a great sub - providing motivation or actually be the motivator for CCL games. DC is probably working with Andrew Jacobson to fill in Olsen's spot for the future. <br /><br />That is interesting you mentioned the transfer period - with Crayton's 175,000? opened up - there is a lot of space to buy one good solid player or add more depth for the CCL with two mediocre (see it that we get spots from Crayton and maybe drop Anthony Peters/Diaramondo). I think we should add more depth up top. John looked pretty good last night for his 10 minutes in the game.<br /><br />Fullback Files, you should do an article on "What If?" Asking the question, what if we had Marcelo Gallardo instead of Christian Gomez? Stefan Frei and Alston instead of Wallace and Pontius? Roger instead of Jakovic? Tommy Soehn was fired a few games in? What if?Anthony The Greatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198732413882406269.post-67525347731984490592009-06-14T16:40:30.941-04:002009-06-14T16:40:30.941-04:00I agree with what you're saying about Olsen.
