San Jose Earthquakes are chiseling a new cabinet for the upcoming MLS season, kicking off on March 10. The intention is to have the club’s name engraved on MLS silverware, the perfect compliment to the new design. News out of the club today confirms that 24-year old Simon Dawkins (above) from EPL club, Tottenham Hotspur, will be featuring as part of the Quakes attack mantle. He previously played for the Quakes on loan, last season. Details of the signing are forthcoming.

Success for the Quakes will hinge on the creativity of the midfield linking up with the strike force of Dawkins and Wondolowski. New signing, Colombian international Tressor Moreno, is seen by Quakes coach, Frank Yallop, as a genuine #10 midfielder, and every successful club is built around one. Certainly, the Quakes new tool box is looking more diverse and sharper. But it takes more than tools to craft a cabinet of winners. Yallop has veteran experience in managing men. Getting them to work for each other will be the challenge facing the boss. With the Quakes hoping to open a new home in the not to distant future – the club’s 18,000 seated stadium proposals are moving through the bureaucracy of planning permission – nothing could be more inviting to fans than having a winning cabinet of players, and a trophy, ready to furnish the new digs.

The Quakes home opener is on March 10th against New England Revolution.
