RSL finally addressing it’s striker issues

February 26, 2008
  • Yes, RSL has finally shown that they realize what this team needs, a good striking force that can beat opponents in the air, on the ground, and anywhere on the field. We’ve finally made a run for a target forward by offering a contract to an obscure Scot named Kenny Deuchar. This guy is big (6′3″), and he has tons of experience. He’s a great goal scorer and currently plays for Gretna FC in Scotland, a second division side. In fact, Deuchar has spent his entire career in lower division league. The most interesting part of this acquisition, to me, is that Kenny Deuchar is a practicing doctor. He wants to be able to practice medicine in America and play soccer here. This concerns me, as well as many other fans. I wonder if his loyalties will remain with soccer, or with medicine. This also explains Garth’s recent trip to Scotland to ’scout players’.
  •  Another thing that I found interesting is that RSL has extended the Singaporean star Indra Sahdan Daud’s trial. This guy is the golden child of football in Singapore, and RSL has already gained many fans from him just trialing with us. In the first six days of his trial, James Edward said that Indra’s chances of making the team were slim, however, his last two days have been spectacular. Those two days were enough to make RSL extend his trial, which will carry into the Argentina leg of the preseason. I really hope this guy makes the team, he has so much support from his countrymen and I just feel hopeful that he’ll get a contract and play well with this team.
