I think Guzan just left for Villa. I’m so sad… but happy… but sad.

You could also use Mendoza – Eskandarian to sub eachother for the left wing (and then bring Marsch or Nagamura to LM position) during injury/squad rotation for all of the extra games that we are going to have.

I think the key is going to be (and this will not be popular with many fans…or with me for that matter) selling Guzan to Ashton Villa. On a $4 million dollar transfer, Chivas will see $2 million in the form of allocation money (towards the salary cap) and cash. We could use this to purchase a quality goalie (Oswaldo???) and have a little cash toward another purchase.

If Guzan stays in MLS this year, we get his fantastic services, but nothing when he departs on a free transfer the following year. If he leaves now, the team gets money to use for the future. We all know that he is going to leave us eventually, so he might as well go this year and still be able to “help” the team.
