[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You just be quite the hater to turn this into a criticism of the Spirit. 
The trade of Pugh shows that Spirit is more concerned about winning i/o appearances.  Quite simply, Pugh has underperformed both in NWSL and at the WNT, which is why she was traded, and was not selected for an Olympic team spot.  The Spirit got a lot for a player that was overrated and would be leaving the club in a year anyway in the expansion.  All in all, a great piece of business for the Spirit, and one that will result in better soccer and better results for their fans.[/quote]

Pugh was a teenager when she came to Spirit. They had a responsibility to develop her if they were going to draft her as a kid the same would they should have felt a responsibility to develop the players that went to the Spirit academy. But Pugh did not seem to progress at all at Spirit. If she reaches her potential at Sky Blue we will always wonder what went wrong at Spirit, if she doesn't then maybe it was her attitude that was the problem and not the Spirit. It's not really a question of whether trading her away now was a good decision, the question is why they failed to help her progress. [/quote]

Facts.  She gave up a lot to join them.  It was obvious something was wrong, and Spirit should have made more of an investment in her.  Makes you wonder if she wouldn't have gotten better development in college.  And if so, then that speaks volumes.  I hope Sky Blue clean turn it around.  [/quote]
