Blasphemy? Perhaps. But I believe Seattle would be well-served to offload Fredy Montero if, and only if, they could replace him with a speedy, goal-nosed striker. Real Salt Lake’s Robbie Findley, the Oregon State graduate, comes to mind.

In yesterday’s MLS draft, the Sounders FC selected Forward Steve Zakuani with the #1 overall pick. The 20 year-old led the nation with 20 goals and 27 points as a sophomore at Akron. He is filthy. Here is some evidence:

Today, Seattle Sounders FC selected 10 players through the MLS Expansion Draft. After one year of airy speculation, this squad is finally starting to take shape.
Let me preface this post by saying I have the utmost confidence in the Sounders FC braintrust: GM Adrian Hanauer and Technical Director Chris Henderson. Between Hanauer’s insane attention...
