Player Announcement Coming Thursday

By: Steve | August 12th, 2008

The next Sounders FC player signing will be announced on Thursday, August 14th at 2:00PM at Qwest field.

If the team is calling together the fans, it may be a big deal.

The most likely candidate is Kasey Keller, who has been linked to the squad for some time.

A couple international stars looking for work are Freddy Ljundberg and Hernan Crespo.

What do you think?? Who will the new Sounders player be, Keller or a big-time DP???
Why such a secret? Why all the hooplah?

Here is the email from the Seattle Sounders FC website:

  Please, please, please, not Yum-berg or Crespo. I’d probably be okay with Kasey, except that I’m not sure why we need to upgrade at goal. Chris Eylander was amazing in the last US Open Cup game, and he’s going to be familiar with at least a few of the players and their styles. That has to count for something.

  Oh, also, any Sounder 1.0 fans (or is it 2.0? I lose track.) The US Open Cup game tonight is supposed to be broadcast for free at USLLive.com http://usl.playonsports.tv/seattle

  Keller! Fantastic! for the rest of the league, that is. If I was told I was playing against Keller, I’d eat three cheeseburgers before the game. He’s got choking down to a fine art.
