Colorado Rapids Transfer Window Wish List

Veteran Left Back – Note the very important qualifying word here of 'Veteran'. The Rapids still have a very promising player with the 22 year old international prospect

that plays on the left, but Gary Smith has obviously lost faith in the young man as the season has gone along for whatever reason. Meanwhile,

and

have played some of the worst football that we've seen out of a Rapids player since 2009. The Rapids need a player to stabilize the position – and hopefully make the team release Danny Earls if we're being hopeful – and they need him now. The guy doesn't have to be a great player technically, but he does need to be better than Palguta and/or Earls and ideally a great communicator on the field, something the two of them are most certainly not.

That's actually it, two players and no more. Colorado's depth situation is good enough in other areas – minus perhaps defensive midfield where only Ross LaBeaux and Nane are there to provide substitutions – except for that infamously terrible left side. If Anthony Wallace and Brian Mullan are playing it should be a lot easier to handle, but in case anything happens, having two new guys to replace them will be very important.
