List of Players Attending Training Camp

Posted by Mike on January 20, 2009 · Under Squad · View Comments 

With training camp beginning on Thursday morning, we were able to get a list of players on the Sounders FC Training Roster.

13 players who are under contract will be there. Eight of the ten players selected in the Expansion Draft will be in attendance; Jeff Parke is currently out of contract and Peter Vagenas will join the squad next week.

You can see that a number of USL Sounders will be there trying to make their way in MLS…

    Honest question. Does Besagno have a ghost of a chance to make the final roster? If not, he would have to be considered the biggest failure in MLS history. Not that *he* is the failure, but the morons at RSL for picking him. (and the Sounders for taking him on loan)

    The consensus has always blamed the player for not fulfilling the draft choice, but the reality is that the ridicule should go to the organization that made the choice.

    I would say he’s the worst pick in draft history, but I support a NFL team that has picked Brian Bosworth (actually a fantastic player who had a career ending injury), Rick Mirer, Kelly Stouffer, Steve Niehaus, and Dan f-ing McGwire as #1 picks.  Although none were overall #1 picks like the sh*t stain Besagno.

    Is anyone else disappointed with how many USL Sounders they have?  Didn’t we hear all about the extensive scouting that they were doing and how Schmetzer was helping them with scouting reports for the whole of USL 1?  What about the rumors that we were pursuing Osvaldo Alonso?  And now all we have is an excess of old sounders?  I was hoping for more.

    And for the record, the seahawks didn’t draft kelly stouffer.  The cardinals did, then we traded for him later.

    no Gardner? and I thought he was doing much better this past season

    Its possible that Gardner passed on the invite offer.

  • GoSounders.com

    Wasn’t Gardner offered a spot in Montreal?

  • gstommylee

    Yea i think so that might be the reason too.

  • gstommylee

    Actually Roger Levesque had the offer from Montreal,  Gardner wanted to go back to Texas which probably means he decline Seattle’s invite.
