Nolly brings great experience to Fire backup role
"Jay Nolly is likely to have rather expansive duties as the Fire's backup goalie this season.
The 30-year-old veteran, acquired from Vancouver in December, will be the likely starter whenever No. 1 keeper Sean Johnson is with the U.S. national team."

USMNT Allocation Order
The allocation ranking is the mechanism used to determine which MLS club has first priority to acquire a U.S. National Team player who signs with MLS after playing abroad, or a former MLS player who returns to the League after having gone to a club abroad for a transfer fee. The allocation rankings may also be used in the event two or more clubs file a request for the same player on the same day. The allocations will be ranked in reverse order of finish for the 2010 season, taking playoff performance into account.
Once the club uses its allocation ranking to acquire a player, it drops to the bottom of the list. A ranking can be traded, provided that part of the compensation received in return is another club’s ranking. At all times, each club is assigned one ranking. The rankings reset at the end of each MLS League season.
2012 Allocation Order
1. Vancouver Whitecaps
2. New England Revolution
3. Toronto FC
4. Chivas USA
5. San Jose Earthquakes
6. D.C. United
7. Portland Timbers
8. Chicago Fire
9. Columbus Crew
10. FC Dallas
11. New York Red Bulls
12. Philadelphia Union
13. Colorado Rapids
14. Seattle Sounders
