Welcome Parcero!!!

 

[BlueWarrior]

So when is he starting again? Will he be available vs orlando?

 

[BxLio91]

If Wingert has a season ending injury.

 

[Kyle Majowicz]

Any chance he plays Sunday with Hernandez picking up the suspension?

I hope so, otherwise Watson Comes back in. No one wants that. Watson does not want that.

He'll wear 23

Angelino, Facey, Mena, Iraola

Remember when our defense was horrendous? Now we have a completely new defense.

If you look at the first pick from him in Columbia from einwindir 's post and then the ones of him today it looks like he got fat in the offseason. So yes I think he is soft right now. Hopefully they put his ass on a diet real quick.

Yup, have go give credit to CFG there. We didn't have to wait out a full season to address our back line.

No not the whole season, just long enough to make it a struggle to reach the playoffs

Looks like kaka isn't going to be able to knock him around

Now let's see if we get a different result.

 

[LionNYC]

Menu starts before Lampard.

 

[BlueWarrior]

I really hope he starts! I want to see how he does. I love me some good defenders.

We did!
