Doyle outlines next steps in interview
American Soccer Daily has an informative interview with Quakes GM John Doyle in which he outlines the strategy the team used in the expansion draft as well as the next steps the team will be taking to put together its roster. Here's a taste:
While the draft is expected to provide some fresh blood for the offense, he says the big catch will likely come through another MLS trade."We do have the #1 pick, and then the #2 starting in the second round, so we have high picks," said Doyle, who also grabbed Los Angeles striker Gavin Glinton in the Expansion Draft. "We can do a little bit with the draft, look to make trades with some of the picks to acquire a veteran goal scorer. We want to look in the league for a goal scorer."
The story continues:
"We also have the extra expansion money," he noted. "I'm going to visit Scotland and England to look at a lot of players. Of course, that could be a stretch financially.""Frank will also look in Trinidad & Tobago and I'll probably be on the way to Brazil in a couple of weeks. We have also gotten 5-6 phone calls from agents with players in South America and Africa."
All in all, a good read — highly recommended!
