I think he's played in Spain, Germany and England so Seattle is getting a good keeper. And what's better than coming home to finish your career... Keller has had a good career.

I highly doubt it will since it isn't during the 2009 MLS calendar. I believe the allocation list will restart at the beginning of next year so Seattle can pretty much build a lineup with whatever they can right now I believe. At least the league isn't doing anything to stop them from building it up. Totally agree about Eylander as well, they need to sign him on for next year even with Keller now on board.

There's been some debate on local boards about whether this is a good idea, mostly because our USL side keeper Chris Eylander is by all accounts ready for MLS. That being the case, some question whether it's a good idea to spend so much cap room on a keeper when we can have Eylander at a much cheaper price. I think it's worth it. Keller generates a lot of buzz and local flavor for the team and gives it a marketable star. Also, it won't hurt Eylander's development to be mentored by one of the greats for a year. One question - does this impact SSFC's spot in the allocation order next year? I’m in Seattle and I like it.
