Echeverry Out for the Season

By: Dave Martinez | July 29th, 2008

The speculation may now officially be laid to rest. Oscar Echeverry has been playing injured. Quite injured.

According to Brian Lewis at the NY Post, Eche will go under the knife for season ending knee surgery. This leaves the forward options extremely thin up top – with Wolyniec and Megaloudis being the top forward options (since Magee seems to be considered a midfielder now adays).

The Bulls have tried everything to fill the striker spot, to no avail. George Welcome’s discovery claim, owned by New England, has stalled that situation to a halt. Brazilian Andre Borges, as Lewis reports, has been less than impressive. And Caraccio, the Argentine forward from Houston, isnt the big forward JCO is looking for.

The striker spot looks thinner than ever. And even the loss of the Special Ed Player of the Year, Oscar Echeverry, further impacts situations. The Bulls venture into another exhausting search for a forward who hasnt already been compromised by an MLS team begins. I am smelling a Pescadito.
