You know if worse comes to worse we could always bring Brian McBride back, he's 37, he's got loads of experience and we wouldn't have to swap a midfielder in

DeMerit and Onyewu played extremely well together in South Africa, I hope we can put that tandem out there again this summer, but if not Gibbs was doing very well before he got injured and I have been shocked he hasn't even been on the bench recently
The thing is Kenny Cooper is good for that & he would let Altidore have a bit more freedom. He may not be as tough as McBride or as good in the air, but IMO he's actually got a better eye for a pass, so if holds the ball up, I think that he's a better option to release one of Altidore, Donovan or Dempsey.
