Curious to who the DP Forward signing will be.....

Trying to come up with a name or two...

Going at defenders more instead of purely relying on dumping it into the box from the wings. Like Bravo would do last year. Attack defenses head on more.

You won't know the name. Its not a superstar. But will be a good player for us.

woah, that Benny signing is a very big get for SKC. Can't wait to hear the news on the forward.

Ah. That would help. Benny certainly helps SKC's flexibility to be able to do that, and you're right -- Uri would play nicely into an offense that needs the tight passing to pull that off.

The only thing about Uri that scares me is his slender build, and whether or not he can take the beating that is the MLS. It's a rough league.

He is listed anywhere from 5'10" to 6'0"" and will likely fill out between now and next campaign....

Thanks for that, I guess. :drool:

He's still, very slender and comes from a fluid european league. I hope he's able to adjust to the brutal physicality of the MLS, cause the guy is oozing skill.

One thing people don't know about SKC and I think a big reason for their strong showings lately is their fitness coach. They have an incredible strength and conditioning coach.

If its Claudio Bieler I agree...

Look at Besler when he came in vs. now. Night and day. Some of that is natural maturation, but a lot of it is Besler's hard work in the strength program.

He's pretty smokin hot. Definite eye candy for the ladies in the SKC crowd. Not that we don't love all of the players...we do!!!!

Yipee. I'd be seriously depressed if we lost Besler.

Not that enthused about Feilhaber, TBH. We'll see.
