I'm not sold on Findley like many ot...It could be. I'm not sold on Findley like many others are. Nor am I sold on Sturgis. In that sense it's more because it's going to take another year or two for him to get where he's capable of playing. Remember it took Ricardo Clark a couple years to really learn the ropes (BTW, why did the Metrostars trade him?). As for Klein, I'm not sold on his decline being emminent. He's a good vet that's been playing on a team that right now is a bigger mess than in it's expansion year (2005) Plus we have yet to see what RSL is kicking in to get Klein off their hands. <BR/><BR/>But I'm glad you mentioned it. I think this trade is a good contrast in the teams approach right now. Kreis has written off this year and is trying to bring in some young talent to build a team with. LA on the other hand has decided they're willing to sacrifice things down the road to try to make sure they don't miss the playoffs in 2007.Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05237280803429555051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7086885.post-23245355601586049002007-06-21T08:43:00.000-06:002007-06-21T08:43:00.000-06:00Dude, are you for real?

I'm shocked LA is making this move since they've been loading up on salary...now they trade away about $150,000 in salary for Klein's $187,000? Doesn't make sense. I think Alexi is going off the deep end with all this Beckham noise going on around him.Bonjihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03994311016750091672noreply@blogger.com
