And........................

So Macdonald in, Puppo out, Rabayo looks all set to be going back to Colombia, and Grazzini is still in Argentina. Frank and company have one more day to find possibly another signing that could possibly greatly improve the team and appease a frustrated fan base. Will it happen? Chances are probably not. It seems that the club, in my opinion, has thrown in the towel on this year and is resigned to rebuilding the team yet again next season. Why do I think this? Well why would you bring in a player as a "goal scorer" that you desperately need and he has only scored 15 goals over the last 3 seasons? Why would you not try to keep Grazzini here? Apparently he was the cog that made the offensive gears click as evident by only scoring 2 goals in the last 5 games and in the last 2 games Grazzini played in the Fire managed to score 5 goals. I thought that the goal of transfer windows were to help improve the team? Instead we will more than likely 2 of our preseason acquisitions leave, we will see our most influential playmaker sit and collect a paycheck in Argentina because of so called "family issues", management paying yet another transfer fee for a "goal scorer" who has actually proven through his career and especially lately that he is not a goal scorer. Who knows whats going on in Leon and Petrei's heads but I do know this , we will by some miracle squeeze into the playoffs and maybe make it out of the first round but we will be all set for another rebuilding year. This weekend will not be easy to take 3 points as we play in San Jose who has all of a sudden turned into one of the best teams in the league. So it will be interesting how Frank plays this game but my guess is that he will play it like all the other away games this season, sitting back and trying to hold on defensively.
