The Next DP!

So whats going to happen to the next DP Spot?

So were only a couple of weeks away from the start of the MLS season and we havent filled our 3rd DP slot, with one of the others not arriving till the summer and the other a world cup winner playing alone upfront is it time to start worrying?!?

Well of course it isnt!

First of all as we have seen already we have a very strong and a very full roster for the upcoming season. We may have a bit of a leaky back line but apart from this i must say we have a very strong side, especially considering only a few months ago we wouldnt of been able to field a starting eleven. We must look at the fact that in the side we have at the moment we could realistically count 3 DP's.

Mix Duskerud - A player with quality both on and off the ball and the ability to thread the killer balls into the final third, a player we will all continue and for those who dont know him (rare) will love in the future. Im sure he'll chip in with a few goals aswell.

Javier Calle - We may not have seen him just yet, but im sure since hes been declared fit we will be seeing him tommorow night vs Houston which hopefully adds more to our already developing line up.

These two were being talked about as possible DP signings before joining the club so along with Villa i feel we are lucky to have such quality in our team. In my opinion i would love to see a defensive player added to the roster. This could in fact be solved with the addition of Shay Facey. A player with such a seasoned head on his young shoulders he has showed how he can steady the ship in the center of defence, fingers crossed he will fit into the budget with our international slots availbale to us.

Another addition that ive seen spoken about alot is Martin Demichelis in the summer window. Another Manchester City link but someone who could revamp the whole of our defensive unit. He already knows the way we play the game, he has numerous caps for Argentina and although he is on the closing stages of his career, if we were able to add him to the team for the rest of the season, or even a season and a half then i could see this as a strong signing for us.

Of Course we cant talk about DP's without talking about Mr. Xavi. Obviously i would love him to join us and again that would be an absoloute steal for someone nearing the end of his career. A possible trio of Xavi - Mix - Lampard with Velasquez ahead. Shame we'd lack alot of legs in this. Something we may wish for and may complain about, but if it happened would we really be dissapointed??

Finally we must remember that Kreis has alot of knowledge of players in this league. I wouldnt be suprised if we went for a DP already in the MLS to give more stability in the league. Knoweledge of the leauge will be vital this season, as it is in many leagues across to globe. So maybe we're over thinking these... but really a team of superstars is everyones dream right?!
