Alamo City Formally Puts Intentions on the Table
The Alamo City Soccer Club is looking to make some moves before the 2014 Season Draft. The Battle would to acquire 1st or 2nd round picks. Below is the roster that Alamo City currently holds the rights to before the draft kicks off. All offers will be entertained, but obviously a few players will command premium prices. Unfortunately Camilo signed with Liga MX side Queretero in the off-season and is no longer on the Alamo City books. His conduct was beyond unprofessional and the Battle are looking for some kind of compensation but it is likely to happen due to the nature of things. The MLS gave up on holding the player accountable and that pretty much shoots Alamo City in the foot.
Thierry Henry
Olmes Garcia
Fabinho
Jordan Harvey
Giles Barnes
Conor Doyle
Diego Fagundez
Obafemi Martins
Mauro Diaz
Charlie Davies
Alex Lopez
Will Johnson
Bradley Wright Phillips
David Ousted
Draft picks, player swaps, combinations, or whatever. The FO at Alamo City will take into serious consideration any and all possibilities.

2013 Year In Review - Banner Season
Club's Record Setting Season Still Falls Short
The 2013 season was a banner year for the Alamo City Soccer Club. The potential that the side had shown for years finally came to fruition as the Battle set 6 BSL records and tied another 5 records. In capturing the Honors Trophy, Major's Cup, Founder's Cup, and Freedom Cup the Battle dominated all facets of the game and even added another Brass Cannon to their cabinet. The one thing that eluded the club this season ? The big one. "Our 2009 BSL Cup is still lonely," stated Alamo City management, "and that's a shame considering the season we had." As stated, the club did just about everything you could do in 2013 to include something it'd never done before. "Yeah, we finally got the best of the Gunners and brought the Classic to San Antonio." Despite all of that Alamo City didn't manage to capture the most sought after trophy of all.
It is understood around the Battle front office and training ground that the ultimate goal wasn't reached, but now that the sting of crashing out of the playoffs has worn off a bit, Captain Thierry Henry was able to properly reflect on the season. "Certainly we wanted to win the BSL Cup. It's the championship of the league and why we're all here. Still, the season we had doesn't happen very often. When you set records, win a league double, and fill your trophy case with several other pieces of hardware you have to appreciate and enjoy what you did. It would be a shame for myself, the fans, the front office, and the guys in the locker room to miss out on what we did do simply because there was one thing we didn't."
The club fully intends to do that in mid-February with a kit launch party that will include the announcement of any retention and/or DP players for the 2014 season. There are decisions to be made, negotiations to be had, and possibly deals to be done as the 2014 season starts now.

"This We'll Defend"
4-1 Victory Ensures Successful Majors Cup Defense
The results typified the season that Alamo City has had. The score line was provided by new player acquisitions. In their search to field the best possible line up from top to bottom, the Battle scoured every corner of the player pool and every possible method to obtain these players. Free agency, transfer wars, and even a trade all helped shape the Alamo City SC roster this season. All three were highlighted in the Battle's successful defense of the Majors Cup.
Freshly signed Bright Dike opened the scoring to keep the match tied early on. Will Johnson (acquired in a controversial trade that sent Daigo Kobayashi to Alliance FC) scored to put Alamo City up before Mauro Diaz (won in a transfer bid) sealed the victory with a goal and assist.
The season has come to a close but the business is just getting started for Alamo City. The phone call has already been made to BSL HQ with the statement of intent for the club to return for next season. Player evaluations, friendlies, and all sorts of goings on will carry the club through the off-season. A season summary is due for fans of the club so keep watching the official site.
