We recruited them in the off season. There was no gutting issue, no trading from a team we know. He was on an awful Pro team from a lower Pro league and as he has clearly said in this thread himself, he wanted to stay in a system where he knew the owners and that we were going to handle things correctly.
Just being a high level doesn't mean you want to be on a nearly winless Pro team. Like I have said, its not like he came here just to put up numbers and its not like we took an entire Pro team and brought them all here. We have worked hard and brought in players that couldnt play for the Fire or other teams and brought them to the next best team that could use the upgrade. Pretty simple, it is what happens, teams upgrade and other teams need to upgrade to keep up.
