Kansas City has sold striker Dom Dwyer to Orlando for approximately $1.6M, a record amount of money within the league. By Sam McDowell for the Kansas City Star.
- Seems like an odd move despite the big $. How are SKC going to score? Do they have a seriously big name striker in the pipeline?
- Only 3 teams have scored less goals than SKC this season.
- And while the SKC defense has allowed the fewest goals this season, they are only 6th in goal differential. It should be much higher.
- From what I can tell SKC fans are really bummed out about this move. Really down in the dumps.
