In Major League Soccer a team can control the rights to a player even if they are unsigned. Below you will see capsules of the players for which the Sounders control their rights, but who did not see much time, nor are they under contract for 2010.

These are players who for one reason or another the Sounders will not likely use for their next season, but who might have minor value to other teams in the league.

Rite, I think I have this shop business sorted out. I'll still be selling all the designs as transfers on eBay and a limited number of Tshirts there too, but as I'm not rich I couldn't afford to have all the designs on TShirts in stock, hence the need for a shop which will print them for me.

Es gibt Momente im Leben, da wird man plötzlich vom D-Zug überrollt. Später muss man sich dann eingestehen, dass der Lokführer vorher zur Warnung durchaus ein paar Mal die Pfeife durchgerissen hatte. Aber irgendwie wollte man einfach nicht hinhören.

Wenn man wie Energie nach elf Spieltagen mickrige zwölf Punkte auf dem Konto hat und noch dazu der halbe Kader am Stock geht, sollten in der Lausitz so langsam die Alarmglocken läuten.

So almost without us (or me, anyway) even realizing it, we appear to possibly have a goalkeeping controversy on our hands.

After Manuel Almunia went down a few games into the season with a "chest infection", and last season's number two, Lukasz Fabianski, was also out with a long term injury, we had to hand the gloves over to young Italian Vito Mannone.

Arsenal sent Tony Adams on Saturday to the Constant Vanden Stock Stadium to Romulu Lukaku to scout. The former England international would not confirm that he was specifically there for an Anderlecht player, but his neighbors in the stands saw him diligently take notes each time the ball came to Lukaku.

Event though Conor Casey only one goal behind Jeff "The Jet" Cunningham and scored a brace at Honduras he's still gets no love.

While the day seems to be lost on everyone's Twitter feeds being down, I figured it was a good time to get back in the award discussion once again here. Instead of waiting for putting this in the evening links and thoughts I figured I would break this discussion off into it's own post for the day.

The less than welcome international break gives us an early chance to take stock. We're seven games in now and what have learned?CelticAtop the pile and Tony Mowbray seems confident that they'll be up there at the end of the season. That's the positive. The negatives are he doesn't yet have the players to play the kind of game he wants, he has not got any faith in the defenders Gordon Strachan Click to continue reading...

There's no football.Time to take stock and indulge the missis, make of that whatever you like but it usually involves Morrison's these days. I was going to follow the cricket or the tennis but it seems we are being thrashed by the Australians in the first and there is not one English player in the top 100 in the second so perhaps I won't bother.

Tomorrow, Lyon will be facing off against Anderlecht again for the second leg of the final round of Champions League qualification. Lyon have pretty much assured themselves of a spot in the group stages, thanks to their demolishing Anderlecht last week in France, but it's a stretch to say that the Belgians have nothing to play for.

Those of us who have been following pre-season relatively closely can't help but have noticed that a few players have 'vanished' in a 'not gone to city' kind of way. Firstly there is Almunia. Any word? But, more importantly (from a long term prospect) is the absence of Rosicky since his much heralded return at Barnet. Click to continue reading...

Steve Davis from MLSnet.com writes about how versatile standouts like Steve Ralston or Jonathan Bornstein have been key components to their team's success this season.

Robert Green believes Manuel Almunia should have seconds thoughts on his mission to become England's goalkeeper as the task is far from easy.

Green said:

It is very hypothetical but I am sure he will have a long hard think about it. It [the England goalkeeping role] is a high-pressurised position and, if you are Spanish, it could be even more so.

You have to be careful when putting much stock in rumors emanating from the U.K. And even though this one is coming from the BBC I'm still skeptical since it's listed in the "other gossip" section, but hey, who knows.

Another Premiership manager bit the dust today as Kevin Keegan joined Alan Curbishley on the unemployment line.
