Soccer America: Yallop in no hurry to fill roster

There’s one more story from today’s news. Soccer America’s Ridge Mahoney spoke with Frank Yallop and reports that the coach is in no hurry to fill the team’s roster.

“We could sign players, but I want to make sure they’re good signings and what we actually need,” says Yallop, who has former San Jose and D.C. United striker Jamil Walker with the team for the Carolina Challenge Cup in Charleston. “We have enough players to field a team. We will fill the roster as we move along.”

Yes, that’s the other news. In addition to Trinidand & Tobago striker Conrad Smith, Yallop has invited former Quake Jamil Walker to try out for the team. Walker, who is recovering from a severe Achilles tendon injury, was recently cut by DC United.

Oh, and there’s one other thing: the Washington Post’s Steven Goff says that the Quakes may be looking at Argentine forward Facundo Sava, who Wikipedia says is 34.
