Seattle Sounders manager Sigi Schmid has said that he is very much looking forward to getting goalkeeper Bryan Meredith in between the posts when Seattle Sounders face Philadelphia Union on Wednesday night.

Sigi Schmid has also said that Meredith is such a quality player that he will be able to get into any MLS team he wants. Meredith is all set to face the first MLS test of his career when Seattle Sounders take on Philadelphia Union.

Seattle Sounders manager Sigi Schmid has said that he tried his best to get Mike Fucito back at Seattle Sounders before he eventually ended up signing for Portland Timbers.

Seattle Sounders decided to bring in Eddie Johnson in place of both Mike Fucito and Lamar Neagle when they decided to trade the former for Montréal Impact back in February.

Major League Soccer or MLS side Seattle Sounders will be carrying four goalkeepers during their travels, for the time being, according to the General Manager of the team Adrian Hanaur.

With top goalkeeper Josh Ford out of the side with a knock, the team management does not want to rush to a decision about who to play and will only decide on that at the end of the last practice session.

The Seattle Sounders have revealed that they will be taking their pre-season training to Florida this season.

Seattle Sounders will be heading off to Florida to play around five matches in total, which will contribute to their pre-season, and help them prepare for their match against Mexico’s Santos Laguna in the CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinal.

Out of the five matches that are set to take place involving Seattle Sounders, four of them will be in Florida; the first of which will play against Orlando City SC on Monday.

Seattle Sounders have completed the signing of Swedish international Adam Johansson on Thursday.

Signing the defender on a long contract is certainly a coup for the club. Adam Johansson has spent the last 7 years of his career with Swedish club Goteborg.

This is his first major move in his career, and Seattle sounders will be hoping for the best from the 28-year-old. He made 129 appearances for the Swedish club and scored two goals in the process. He has also made his international debut for Sweden back in 2009 against USA.

At 36 years old many are talking of David Beckham as though he is too old to play in the MLS, and talking of retirement. At the same time 41-year-old Seattle Sounders goalkeeper Kasey Keller has been announced as the goalkeeper of the year by the MLS!

The Seattle Sounders are making good progress, says coach Sigi Schmid, and they are not far off being realistic contenders for the MLS Championships.

Whilst this year the Soundrs flounders once again in the first round of the playoffs, having performed admirably all season, Schmid is hopeful that next year they will be able to make it the the Playoff Finals, and win the tournament for Seattle.
