Real Salt Lake bids Talley farewell

One of the bright points of last season was the heart shown by Carey Talley, before his injury in May of last year. Upon his return the heart was still there, but something was missing, and the impact it had was that Carrey Talley was no longer the bulldog that had won over RSL fans, it carried over to this season where again it appeared that Carey’s heart was there but with an abundance of defensive minded midfielders and his 6 digit salary appeared to be too much. Of all the teams to go to the hated Goats of LA, but it is sure that his defensive skills will be appreciated by a team that has given up 13 goals in 6 matches. I wish Carey the best, except when facing RSL.

Official Press Release
