Ronald Watterus is a much better goal keeper than zoo keeper.
With his shutout streak going and really no end in sight with the next MLS match versus Real Salt Fake, Ronald Watterus is clearly the hottest goalkeeper in MLS. The ironic thing is that he wasn’t Bruce Arena’s first choice.
That’s right. Despite the glowing words this off-season, Arena’s first choice was not the well-traveled Dutchmen. In fact, Arena was after another European based goalkeeper with loads of international experience. We all know who that choice was, right?
Nope, not Kasey Keller. Jerzy Dudek. Yep, Arena and staff enquired about the availability of the now bench-ridden Polish international keeper who hasn’t sniffed much of the pitch with Liverpool this year. Look for Dudek to head to the Bundesliga this summer and join Ed Kirwan’s Wolfsburg outfit.
Want another Dutch treat? Of course you do. Before bringing in Dave van den Bergh, Red Bulls Technical Director enquired about Colombian international midfielder Elkin Soto, a left-winger who plies his trade in Ecuador. Turns out that Agoos was interested in Soto but balked at the transfer price.
Bruce still wants to add another player to the team to partner with Kovalenko’s European style influence. Word out is that he is looking at a Polish central defender, not named Jacek Bak. Why is he looking for central defense help? The coaching staff is not thrilled with Seth Stammler....rumour has it he could be on the block for the right offer. Even though they like his versatility, his inconsistent performances have soured them to his overall play.
Oh, and St. Louis has the inside track with expansion. The NJ women’s team will play at Rutgers for at least their first year. And Marvell Wynne did have an attitude problem.
