I wonder if the failure to land Walter Martinez changes any plans?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198732413882406269.post-77738502360878578302009-01-29T18:44:00.000-05:002009-01-29T18:44:00.000-05:00Ah...

Or at least we definitely need another central midfielder. Maybe it doesn't have to be another true #10 CAM, but an organizer like Steve Ralston would do the trick. All I know is that I'm not ready to start the season having made NO acquisitions.Martin Shatzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16315805447771034849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198732413882406269.post-41269843858365633552009-01-29T08:36:00.000-05:002009-01-29T08:36:00.000-05:00The big question being . . . do we really need a C...The big question being . . . do we really <I>need</I> a CAM?<BR/><BR/>Discuss.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198732413882406269.post-22858215758380951012009-01-29T06:51:00.000-05:002009-01-29T06:51:00.000-05:00If Gallardo is on his way out (fingers crossed), I...If Gallardo is on his way out (fingers crossed), I just don't see any other CAM options besides Gomez coming available before the season starts.

If he's healthy enough to play significant minutes, feels he has something to prove, and we can get Colorado to eat part of his salary or negotiate a lower one, I'm all for it.

Showing up in the stands in New York and banging a drum the whole game he was out on suspension, well... that still counts for something with me. If DK and the owners think he will really play with that kind of dedication to the team, then we should bring him back.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
