What BQ said. McGuire supposedly wouldn't sign anything until he had a handshake deal that Manny would be there.

Also, remember folks about two things.
1. The new ownership wasn't able to take over until last week
2. NASL rosters don't get solidified until after MLS rosters solidify. The draft being done, now we'll see which draftees/trialists/roster players get cut during training.
We'll know more in February.

Direct quote from Manny: "I feel like this is the right place for me now."

Would be good to do a quick recap of where the 2013 roster is at, as compared to 2012.

OPTION PICKED UP: Hildebrant, Van Oekel, Davis, Kallman, Tobin, Buro, Tchoupe, Takada, Venegas, Ibarra, Reed, Polak, Wall.
OPTION DECLINED: Sassano, Mauro, Ibrahim, Chin, Lorei.

LOAN ENDED: Watson.
FA, SIGNED WITH EDMONTON: Hlavaty.
FA, RE-SIGNED WITH MINNESOTA: Bracalello.
FA, EXCEEDINGLY LIKELY TO RETURN IN SOME CAPACITY: Friedland.

STILL FA: Dias, Altman, Nuñez, Moura, Rodriguez, Walker, Del Do.

SIGNED AS FA: Campos, Barbara, Sattler, Pitchkolan, Arguez.

Jon is the new GumbyGrrl.

Good recap, my man!

I love Hlavaty, but the dude literally said the dumbest [censored] all the time on Twitter.

A recent favorite was him tweeting "3 points!" after a playoff win.

I'm busy trying to be the facebook stalker, since no one else has stepped up in that role.
Good job, Jon!

McGuire won't let Manny go to MLS. McGuire will bring MLS to Manny instead.

Brilliant.

"Reigning NASL MVP Pablo Campos, goalkeeper Daryl Sattler and midfielder Aaron Pitchkolan were among six signings announced by Minnesota on Wednesday, depriving the San Antonio Scorpions of three key contributors during its successful inaugural season."

Nuf said!

So do we have 2 first choice keepers, or is MvO assumed to be moving on?

I like the 2012 Scorpions so much better when they're 2013 Stars.
