Who Will Leave Sporting Kc Next?

Ryan Smith's transfer rumor was sort of random, weird, and short-lived. But it's kinda cool to know that he is good enough to be attracting attention from other leagues, specifically the Mexican league. So, this kind of raises an interesting question doesn't it? If Sporting Kc were to receive an offer for a player from a club, (not necessarily a big one) who has the highest chances of leaving?

Well, I will try to answer that question by making a simple list of all of Sporting's players and then giving them a number (1-10) (1 being the highest likely to leave, 10 being the least likely to leave) based on who I believe is the most likely Sporting would let go should they receive an offer. For the top and bottom 3 players I will write a couple of sentences defending my decision.

*Note: The rating of 5 is reserved for players who I think would almost never receive an offer from another club.


Name - Rating
Aiyegbusi - 5
Arnaud - 10 - This is the captain and the longest tenured player for this team, Sporting Kc would never let him go. 
Auvray - 6
Besler - 7
Bravo - 10 - Bravo is the team's DP and is a very good asset to connect with the Hispanic community. 
Bunbury - 1 - Sporting Kc want to keep this player around, he has a bright future, but with the money that some of the "bigger" clubs in Europe can offer, you'd think it'd be very tough for Sporting to walk away from the money.
Cesar - 6
Collin - 7
Diop - 5
Ellis - 6
Epsinoza - 8
Harrington - 9 - Sporting Kc have emphasized they want Harrington around for a long time, they will not sell this player. 
Kamara - 4
Kempin - 6
Kronberg - 7
Lorenz - 5
Myers - 3
Nielsen - 9
Rocastle - 5
Sapong - 8
Sassano - 5
Sinovic - 5
Smith - 2 - Smith is a great player and is still on a lot of managers short-lists from his time in England, if the right price came along, could Sporting refuse?
Stojcev - 6
Thomas - 3 - Thomas does have international recognition with Jamaica, and he is not rated very highly at Sporting Kc, if an offer came, Vermes may be urged to accept it.
Warzycha - 5
Zusi - 7

  1. Thanks for being bold and putting this out there. What about Sapong? I'm scared he may leave...

  2. Yeah I thought that at first, but maybe Sporting Kc think he's the next Bunbury.
