'Prospective': Final Thoughts on the 2012 Player Combine
Dave's note: Abbott will be joining the Sounder at Heart crew with a nearly weekly column. His FanPosts opened our eyes to the idea of adding someone with a different voice who could provide regular columns about roster construction, lineup management and other stuff. He's our second off-season...

Transfer Rumor: Mrisho Ngassa Could Be Available On Free
The Cordell Cato v Mrisho Ngassa "battle" may not exist at all. Word out of Mrisho Ngassa's Tanzanian club (Azam FC) is that they will release him to Seattle Sounders FC on a free. After purchasing him for a national record 40 thousand dollars this would be a huge move for a club in a relatively...
Adam Johansson Starting Right Back Adds All Around Talent To Position
Seattle Sounders FC signing Adam Johansson fills the hole at right back left open from the loss of James Riley, but Technical Director Chris Henderson sees him as adding more to the role rather than a like-for-like swap; I think losing James Riley, a seasoned veteran in our league, it's tough to...

Chris Henderson on Tracking Talent and the Return of the Reserve League
I love when practice is at Qwest Field and my work day allows me to take the little four block trip there. It gives me the opportunity to show my face at practice (Jeremiah goes at least once a week) and remind the team (and media) that Sounder at Heart is as much about original interviews as we...
Chris Henderson, Technical Director talks about Scouting Talent for Sounders FC
