SEATTLE BOUNCE BACK

There has been a lot of questions asked about Seattle Sounders prior to the start of the season, but they seem to be responding in the best possible fashion. Seattle Sounders came out of the Champions League quarter-finals after suffering a defeat at the hands of Santos Laguna, which has led to a lot of questions being raised with regard to the ability of the team to fight at the top of the table.

However, led by the hugely impressive former United States goalkeeper Kasey Keller, they seem to be doing extremely well. The loss of players like James Riley has been one of the crucial factors in the supposed instability of the team prior to the start of the season.

So far, there have been for games played in the regular season and Seattle sounders have been able to get by them by just conceding two goals.

Palacios & Crouch wanted to stay

Miami FC star Wilson Palacios might never have played for Stoke City (alongside legendary striker Peter Crouch), if Crouch had had his way! Former England international Peter Crouch has revealed that he never quite wanted the move to Stoke City. The 37-year old joined the club from Spurs in the summer of 2011 in a deadline day transfer. The tall forward, known for his heading skills, said he was practically forced out of Tottenham Hotspur. He argued that he had two years left on his contract, and just did well in the Champions League the previous season.

Crouch said he was happy at White Hart Lane, and that the club was settled. Out of the blue, Chairman Daniel Levy said he wanted to bring Emmanuel Adebayor to the club. That means Crouch and Wilson Palacios had to exit the side in a £16 million deal to the Potters. Continue reading “Palacios & Crouch wanted to stay” →
