Hopes for Haiti

The end of the week and the images from Haiti continue to dominate the news. We have heard that Vaniel Sirin and Ednerson Rayman, who were part of the group that travelled to England with us last October, are safe but we are still waiting to hear if Jean Alexandre's father has been found. It's hard to imagine what the families there are going through - if you are able, donate to any of the worthy non-profits who are directing their relief efforts to Haiti. One of the easiest ways is to text 'HAITI" to 90999 - $10 will be donated and added to your cell phone bill or log on to www.redcross.org

On a lighter note, we have received the first draft of the 2010 schedule so we hope to be publishing it next week - let's hope some of the more notorious 'leakers' from other teams can keep it to themselves until it is written in stone. I know you are dying to know and we are dying to tell you but it's just not quite ready yet! We will also be releasing details of a new signing - I LOVE this time of the year!!

Congratulations to Austin da Luz on being drafted by the New York Red Bulls in the first round and also to another Aztex PDL player Euan Holden who got picked up by his brother's team, Houston Dynamo.

Lastly, we watched the Stoke v Liverpool game this morning - the fans were in great voice as usual but I'm afraid Sorenson didn't do his transfer chances a lot of good. Flapping at the ball to allow them to score and some pretty dodgy clearances too - he's definitely OUT of my fantasy team now!

Looking forward to news on signings. I've had three queries to the Army about the tryouts from folks are who planning on applying to come.

As far as Tommie Sorensen...I'm not too sad to see his transfer possibilities disappear in the January window! I'd like to see him in the red and white of Stoke City for a few more seasons!
