too bad Gulati couldn't go with him.

Hopefully we will end up with a more creative offensive mind. Oh, and maybe a better defensive mind, too. Oh, and also some creativity at midfield as well.

Wonder how this will play out for some players' careers... Michael Bradley and the newly resurgent Adu come to mind.

Hopefully it will be the end of Michael Bradley going wherever the hell he wants on the field. I swear the man would cut in front of his own players to steal passes, so he could take some shot from outside the box. I'm not saying he didn't deserve to play, but he has this "do it all myself" attitude. I don't know if he doesn't trust his teammates or just thinks he's world class. He's a good player, but I think he needs to be harnessed by someone other than his father.

I think fresh eyes on the team will do wonders. Whomever it is should open up all positions and make everyone work for them. Sure the majority of starters will end up being the same-old-same, but it will get the best out of everyone.
