what are your feelings on parke making the team
this is more of a “forum” type of post… but we don’t have a forum, so there you go.
i want to hear what you guys feel about parke making the team and taking up a defensive roster spot… a defensive roster spot where we arguably have the most depth in the team.
i don’t know if i am just an overly bitter person, but part of me wants to tell him to “go find himself” for how he handled the whole sounders situation last year. he had every right to go try and make it in europe, and when we drafted him, we knew it was a very real situation… but then, when he didn’t make it, he seemed to just want to do anything, rather than play for the sounders. he f’d off to vancouver for a while, and that didn’t pan out either.
i am a big believer of second chances…. but this one seems rather weird to me.
is he only back with us b/c he can’t make it in any other league and well “playing for the sounders is better than nothing”?
did he see the amazing atmosphere in seattle and decide “oh ok, maybe it wouldn’t be so bad there?”
did he have a massive change of heart, atone for his sins, and we should welcome him with open arms?
he is a very good defender, so he has that going for him, but he takes the place of another potential sounder that really wants to be on this team… when he effectively did “whatever” last year with his opportunity.
i know i don’t have all the facts, and i admit that. i can only comment on the information that is available to me…. hence why i open it up to you lot.
is there more to this than i have heard? should we welcome jeff with open arms and hug it out?
**of course if he makes the team i will be his biggest fan, buying his jersey and carrying his jock, but for now, it is time to scrutinize.
