Genuinely, with Wagner + Westfield hitting crosses from fullback while the Sullivans create more centrally, Philly could be a tough playoff out. They have to get there, of course. But this move + better GKing + a new striker signing could make them scary.

An odd time for some Union news, I know, but they have jobs to do too: I'm told by someone who knows that Kai Wagner is close to a deal for a surprising return to the club after one season at Birmingham City. I don't yet know the mechanics or the money, but I understand it's heading towards done.
