Andrew, I also read where Peter Nowak said this is a bunch of BS and he won’t pick players for sentimental reasons.

There is a possibility that seattle will trade parke to philly in order to avoid losing someone in the draft. So we have to see what happens

A Philly writer (can’t find the link) listed his predictions, and included King on there because he has a Philly “connection” … born in Medford, NJ (about 25 miles east of the city).

He’s also included Convey, Larentowicz, Curtin, Albright, etc because they all have ties to the city (born in the region, attended school here, etc). Not for anything, but I want a list of the best players available, not a list of local lads doing the soccer-remake of “Invincible”.

If some of these guys happen to be the “best available”, I’m all about it, but to pick them solely because they are Philly born and bred is ridiculous.

I’d be good with King leaving if he’s going to get some playing time. Win-win.

Actually the likely sounder to be leaving isn’t Riley but King he has ties to philly for soccer.

At this point, I just feel sorry for Riley.

Le Toux played as a winger than his natural position which provided to some of the poor production imo.

I agree with gstommylee. His production wasn’t great this year. (But I expect him to get back to 2007 form as soon as the Expansion Draft is over!)

Le Toux has a over valued Salary for his production level. I don’t think philly will be taking him.

You know, I have liked Riley style since his days in New England. That being said, he wouldn’t be the biggest loss for Seattle. LeToux on the other hand . . . yikes.
