Apropos of nothing really, except the news that Knighton was waived by the Union yesterday, here
are Philly's goalkeeper transactions in their just over one full year of existence:
- Nov 25, 09 - Traded 175K in allocation money and an agreement not to pick an RSL player in the
Exp Draft to RSL for backup Chris Seitz
- Nov 25, 09 - Selected backup Brad Knighton from the New England Revolution in the Expansion
Draft
- Jan 14, 10 - Drafted Seattle Wolves' Brian Perk in Rd 4 of the 2010 SuperDraft
- Jul 30, 10 - Waived Brian Perk (claimed by the Galaxy)
- Oct 24, 10 - Finished season with 2nd highest GAA in MLS
- Nov 21, 10 - Both Knighton and Seitz left off of the expansion draft protected list
- Nov 24, 10 - Seitz is added to the protected list after Shea Salinas is selected by
Vancouver
- Dec 8, 10 - Declined Seitz' option and left him available for the Re-Entry Draft
- Nov 15, 10 - Seitz selected by Seattle (and then traded on to FC Dallas)
- Jan 13, 11 - Drafted consensus late-first-rounder Zac MacMath 5th overall in the 2011
Superdraft
- Jan 20, 11 - Signed Columbian international Faryd Mondragon (hereafter known as the Moon
Dragon) after he was benched by Bundesliga relegation candidates FC Koeln.
On Tuesday, the Union announced that Brad Knighton, the presumptive second string goalkeeper
behind new signing Faryd Mondragon, had been waived.
The announcement was met with shock in some quarters. After all, that leaves the Union with, at
present, only two keepers: Mondragon and first round SuperDraft pick Zac MacMath.
