When good acquisitions go bad: Ah, the dreamy days of December-March, the time of grand designs in terms of personnel speculation around MLS. Teams pile on the talent, and forwards bring particular energy to the exercise for fans and officials alike. Visions abound of 15- and 20-goal scorers guiding clubs to splashy accomplishment.
Hope may continue to spring in Spring, but June and July are when dreams frequently, necessarily, die.
At Houston, D.C. United, Kansas City and Chicago, officials might already be looking to replace new forwards who haven't lived up to expectations -- even if the ink is barely dry on those press releases heralding their arrival.
