In fact, that is more comfortable to purchase the college essay at <a href="http://quality-papers.com" rel="nofollow">paper writing service</a>, just because that saves time and money.

Expect a draft update from me today (Tuesday). Now that the official list has been released, I see where my previous predictions were off (and in some cases WAY off).

And we'd mostly prefer that you take Nyassi. Yeah, Sounders fans want to know who you think Philly’s more likely to take: Riley or Nyassi. And we’d mostly prefer that you take Nyassi.

He's already been claimed in two expansion drafts. Adding a third could cause irreparable damage to his psyche. Plus we nub him. Dear Philly: Please have mercy on poor James Riley.

Not sure what I was thinking up above when I said Ianni was center mid. He's #3 on the center back depth chart, behind Marshall and Hurtado. That being said, he has every chance of taking Marshall's spot next year. As laurie noted, Ianni proved himself to be one of the few Sounders that can get a head on the ball on set pieces and actually have the ball end up anywhere near the goal. At defense, he has filled in for both Marshall and Hurtado and there wasn't an appreciable drop off on defense. Don't get me wrong, I don't think he'll be on the other side of the pond at any point in his career, but he's definitely MLS quality and should have a long career ahead of him in MLS. If he's exposed, Philly would be foolish to pass him up. iMHO. Argh. Not sure what I was thinking up above when I said Ianni was center mid.

I think he was 50-50 to be protected before the first Houston playoff game, where he was a BEAST and showed he's a threat with his head on set pieces -- something Seattle's been missing this year. I think that performance will get him protected. Because if he's not, you're right. We will lose him and you will get him. And that would be great for you and not so great for us.
