We're creeping up on a month until the MLS season begins, even though we're not sure where Beckham, we'll start without him if we have to! Spring is in the air and the new additions to other MLS teams are sprouting everywhere. The question for most of us is what will RSL look like when the whistle blows on March 28th in Seattle? We have trialists that have come and gone, but nothing has been solidified. Is this cautious optimism; JK & GL looking at EVERY possibility before they sign anyone? Or is a new trend emerging? Are we falling in love with someone only to find out that they have a boyfriend/girlfriend back home? Signing a player, especially from a foreign country, is a complicated game. Clearly it's not enough to have a good team and great home support. What kind of money would it take for you to pickup your life and move to another country? Sure Salt Lake is nice, great stadium, beautiful mountains, but what if next year I could go to New York? One would think we have great ambassadors for culture shock experiment in Javi & Jamison. Do we have the money to sign the right players, or is this simply how the negotiation process works: offer - threat - counter offer - sign/reject. One thing is for sure, other MLS teams are solidifying their rosters, how long can we/should we wait to solidify ours?
