It looks like that second DP slot might be used this year.. its a real longshot but it would be AMAZING if we can get Thierry Henry! It looks like a small possibility on Ives, but DEFINITELY a longshot.. What do you think about this Dave? How stoked would you be if we were able to get Henry on the Red Bulls?

I guess that isn’t too bad of an idea.. Hopefully we will still be able to keep Angel for a few more years because he truly is a great forward and with another DP, we would be an unstoppable team..

Second DP is being saved for next seasons RB Arena induction. Currently, there is a lot of cap room to mess with, so the plan is to bring in some quality players for this season, sign them for a year contract, retain the talent that works, and bring in the DP next season.

Speaking of the word goalie, I just had a debate on Red Bulls Reader about it lol.. Although it isn’t the BEST word to use, I still believe its ok to use it because when you say goalie, people know what you mean.. a goalie is a player that is charged with directly preventing the opposite team from scoring by defending the goal. It doesn’t matter what we call it because goalie, goalkeeper, netminder (not used often), and keeper all mean the same thing…. Danny Cepero!

You know, had I changed the title to “The Goalies,” a bunch of soccer fanatics would have had my throat – “THATS FOR HOCKEY”

Nice writing, as always…although I could have done without the toejam, LOL!!! I first thought this was about a great guy…like “He’s a KEEPER”, which of course I can think of one!…but ummmm, you meant keeper, cute play on words. I hear Cepero is a pretty nice/ cool guy too…he sure won my heart that 1st game/ goal thingiemabop.
