My thoughts are: this trade tells me Doyle & Co are feeling the pressure too and they are finally ready to start dealing what they've got in order to beef up what they need. If we don't see any performance changes, I expect to see more activity. The reporting over at Center Line Soccer reveals:

They must have a lead on someone and their just waiting for it to pan out....right? Right?

I do hope we can still squeeze some good stuff out of Kirovski. Gray should be able to pick up what's going on fairly quickly and jump right in because of his history w/ Yallop and Doyle. The Quakes other goalkeeper is Michael Gustavson and yes, I went and looked him up. Good luck Mikey and congratulations on your promotion! Lucas: Can we have Jaqua on loan for a few games maybe?

Cannon is durable and I assume we have a somewhat useful backup keeper if necessary, but we need finishers and some midfield help. Kiro may have some more goals in him, and Gray is a capable midfield player. I am more concernced with Jean Phillipe(?) and Glinton. Glinton only looks good as a sub, otherwise he doesn't try very hard. Jean Phillipe looks either slow, or simply can't be bothered to play. So we have two guys playing similar games wasting a starting and a bench spot (can't start them both). I like this trade.

We need all the support we can get. Also, if you see Nate Jaqua walking down the street up there, can you pass along <a href="http://sanjose.theoffside.com/wishful-thinking/an-open-letter-to-nate-jaqua.html" rel="nofollow">my little idea</a> to him?
