All The Bull: The Good News Edition!

By: Dave Martinez | February 19th, 2009

Hey Guys and Gals,

Very little time on my hands, so lets get this show on the road. Plenty of good news around the Bulls, so lets dive right in, shall we?

- The Bulls are heading towards Argentina for training. Though there will be trialists there, it will only be a handful. The cool news for this Argie is that the Bulls will be squaring off with Velez Sarsfield and Argentinos Jrs. Exciting stuff indeed! And another friendly may be in the mix as well (crossing fingers for Boca, crossing fingers for Boca . . . . )

- Juan Pablo Angel has resigned, and now, my second favorite player on the team is locked up to a multiple year deal. Dane Richards will be running around defenders for a few more years in an RB kit, and I couldn’t be happier.

- Speaking of signing fan favorites, how is this for a development; Danny Cepero has signed a senior contract with the club as well!

- Anyone think this is all great timing, especially after fan favorite Dave Roth was let go?

- Now with all this good news, a little cold water needs to be thrown down the collective backs of RB fans, just to keep ‘em level, right? Well, SBI reports Red Bull draft pick Babajide Ogunbiyi is holding out for a senior roster spot. Though I understand his stance against the pittance that is a developmental contract, the smart move would have been to go to camp, show his worth, and have RB realize that he is indeed worth the dough. This isn’t the NFL; draft picks come and go like boxer briefs. Jide is taking a risk here that may hurt a career that hasn’t even begun yet.

    Sorry, English No Goodie.

    #1 – Angel.
    #2 – Dane

    At the same time, I hate the fact that most teams (the past two years) double team the hell out of both players, basically shutting down the RB attack. This year seems to be a different creature though . . .

    Juan Pablo Angel has resigned

    Jeebus, man, give me heart failure.

    (I always put a hyphen in re-signed, just to clarify.) :-)

    P.S. I haven’t seen a Sounders agenda for the time we’re in Argentina. We’re not playing you, are we?

    Hey Dave,
    I just read on Ives that Osorio is in El Salvador scouting the El Salvadorian captain.. left back Pacheco! I believe that would be an excellent move because I’ve watched Pacheco and he is pretty great!! I’d love to have him on our team..
