Reaction for SI

I just wrote a reaction piece for SI.com about the Blanco move. I'll post a link to it whenever it's published but I will tell you the gist of it:

Bad move.

Aw, come on Luis let us wait until Blanco has done his time in MLS and see whether it was a good move by the Fire.

Luis, you are keen to many things that many of us don't know or read about. However, let's give 'temoc a chance first. This move has all the makings of a disaster, but that doesn't mean we should wait for it. I can't stand the guy BUT he still has some skills.

I agree with you Luis. Bad move.

As others have said before, it is questionable how he will respond to being man-handled by MLS defenders. He will not have as much time on the ball and the higher speed of MLS might put his fitness in question. If he gets frustrated, who will he vent against? Sarachan? Fire? Teammates? Does he speak English?

I hope this works out for the Fire, but I can see this turning out badly. I can just hope that they did not give him for more than a year or two of guaranteed contract.
