Can the Colorado Rapids Rebound from a Rocky Campaign and Shine this 2016

Maybe, but with a determined Rapid’s front office working overtime and making the necessary moves to reinforce its ranks ahead of opening day this 2016.

The arrival of Zach Pfefer and goalie Zack MacMath profiled as the starter, both of these coming from the Philadelphia Union and Midfielder Marco Pappa from the Seattle Sounders to strengthen their current roster.

Colorado offensive attack can start generating some spectacle and the possibilities abound positively.

Reinforcing their midfield attack and Pappa by joining forces with Marcelo Sarvas, this club can show a peak in its offensive attack, especially in its midfield-something this club lacked in last campaign.

With rumors of Mexico’s National Team and Spain’s Real Sociedad top-rated player Carlos Vela, Olympiakos forward in Mexican Alan Pulido and Everton most celebrated goalie in USMNT Tim Howard- to join this club.

The Colorado Boys are wheeling, dealing and linking a series of big names to this Rocky Mountain squad to front ahead a very challenging and competed edition of Major League Soccer entering in its 20th edition.

The Rapids front men are working overtime to net some of these above-mentioned player’s signatures and try not to lose another of their targets after their failed attempt to land USMNT Alejandro Bedoya after French side Nantes refused to authorize their transfer.

This to prevent another disastrous campaign and form a competitive entity as in their past ones, as of 2015 were the Colorado squad displayed a poor record of  9 wins, 15 losses and 10 draws, netting them a place in the Western Division cellar.

Despite this club successful draft and netting important prospects, this looks like a long run compromise and for now, they have to focus on reinforcing every weakness this club has- ahead of opening day nearing rapidly.

Something that Manager Pablo Mastroeni, who is in the need of reinforcing every position in his squad and present a contentious and hungry initial eleven that, can take on any of MLS squad’s life impossible.

At the end, this squad really needs to reinforce all of its holes and weak spots they presented all campaign long and with the return of its Irish lads in Sean St Ledger and Kevin Doyle, who cannot take the whole team in their backs.

This club will need plenty of determination and vindication to consider a stand out of a campaign and return to their old successful ways, very well fight back with such desires of winning that at the end they can deliver many satisfactions.

Still the goals and strategies ahead for this upcoming campaign will indeed put in evidence by its current Boss Pablo Mastroeni who needs to put some impressive numbers in this campaign despite the vote of confidence after a disastrous campaign.

The former USMNT prodigy now playing a tough role as a Manager and really has to mount a top of the line and impressive run for the league postseason as one of his first order of business that possibly can make a run for the shield and rebound for their best.
