2018 Roster Discussion

Not exactly. The quality of the players around the DPs should get better and better with the additional GAM.

I guess perhaps the other cash received for the sale that doesn't turn into GAM would make us more likely to use on transfer fees for higher quality DPs though.
Oh, I figured that the usage of GAM you are prescribing was a given. I was thinking more about how higher quality younger players may be more likely to join us if we build a reputation for increasing young player value and marketability to Europe and higher-levels of soccer in general.
 
If you trust your scouting department, there is no problem with this strategy.

The last few kids CFG have purchased were Yangel Herrera, Patrick Roberts, Keleni Iheanacho and Leroy Sane.
Are all of our future young DP's going to have a massive tattoo of themselves celebrating a goal?? If not, I'm not down.

I wonder if CFG feels MLS is worth taking on risky players/contracts because the actual budget charge usually like one week's pay for Claudio Bravo.

This reminds me of YuGiOh where one of the characters had a huge tattoo on his back because it was some Egyptian religious thing...

Allegiance to Nike for life. But no allegiance to a club for life.
 
Is there any thought for David Villa to get his Green Card? Matarrita and Johansen got their cards after two years being in the US. Villa has been in the US slightly longer than Johansen. It would be great for us to save on that international roster spot...

Marik Ishtar. It had to do with his family serving the pharoah. Don't ask me why I remember this, I'm a nerd.
