Wallace is healthy. Chanot and Sands timeline are still uncertain. Matarrita even longer.

I thought I read the other day that Mata was placed on the season ending list?.?. He's listed in the same paragraph as Camargo but with different wording so it's possible they're trying to spin it as not being as bad, and maybe holding out hope he'll return since we have zero reinforcements signed. I'm assuming he's done until we hear something positive.Wallace is healthy. Chanot and Sands timeline are still uncertain. Matarrita even longer.

If Hererra and Ring can handle the water carrying so Villa doesn't have to constantly defend (more than he usually does as a forward), then I think it could be quite interesting. It'd also mess up LA's defensive tactics. But not sure it's worth moving our most lethal scoring assassin from his set position - would rather move Jack.How crazy is it to think about having Villa replace Maxi as the number 10 and putting Ugo into the starting lineup? I would never expect it to happen, but I think it would be pretty interesting to see. As it has been said before, Villa often thinks like a number 10, so we know he is very capable. And Maxi gets forward quite a bit, so it's not like Villa would never be close to the goal. He could essentially play it as a secondary striker and play off of Ugo.
With the defensive work rate he puts in, I would even say if we have a lead.

This has me really curious. Not sure I'd do it, but this is another one of those scenarios which it would be nice to "simulate" the match and see how that would work out.How crazy is it to think about having Villa replace Maxi as the number 10 and putting Ugo into the starting lineup?

I really do not want JJJ to have multiple opportunities to crunch Villa in open field tackles. He's liable to go in out of control and we'd watch our season evaporate.This has me really curious.

OMG you just scared the shit out of me. Totally didn't realize it said MAPFRE and saw "CrewSC" and the date afterwards.
Yes, Gotham Gator -- please don't do that again, even though your point is well taken.OMG you just scared the shit out of me. Totally didn't realize it said MAPFRE and saw "CrewSC" and the date afterwards.

Wow. Sorry. Thought my intro provided enough context. Will remember that next time.Yes, Gotham Gator -- please don't do that again, even though your point is well taken.
