Grace, over at SKC Reports, called it on Twitter yesterday. Earlier this morning, Sporting Kansas City announced that Bobby Convey is the club's newest addition. For the ex-US international, Sporting gave an international roster spot to the 'Quakes for the 2012 MLS season.
Convey, 28, is a very versatile player, who can play outside back, winger, and surprisingly central-mid (where he played during his stint with Reading in England). For me, this raises my suspicions about Omar Bravo's SKC future, especially because Sporting traded back for Seth Sinovic - probably taking back the LB starting spot (which could have been Convey's).

There's something about this guy that bugs me. I really hope he gets a chance to prove his skills as a sub and doesn't become part of the XI too quickly.
ReplyDeleteI agree. He seems like he could cause a really chill team to become antsy or spiteful of each other. But, his upside is huge! I heard we got him for a great price, so hopefully he will slowly work his way into the regular rotation and come back into his past form!
