Yeah, I think Medina (attacking) and Sands (defensive) will serve as the 5th CM. I fear if we sign another one (in addition to CM 4) that Sands and Lewis won't see the field much (Lewis starting on the wing when Medina is at CAM). I'd rather play the kids even if they are slightly worse that a...

https://www.esdfanalysis.com/player-analysis/jesus-medina/ Here's a link with more information on Medina originally posted on r/mls. Some highlights: He's good at crossing while playing at left wing, which he did primarily. He has an impressive scoring record for a winger and likes to make...

To me Empire of Soccer's explanation sounds like an assumption: that Herrera's transfer had to be paid in installments so he wouldn't be a DP. It doesn't sound like they have a source for that assumption, though. The answer could just as easily be that because CFG paid the fee, MLS didn't apply...

I agree with your assessment of Medina, but I hope you're wrong about already having the 18 figured out. The TAM influx this year is huge and we haven't used much of it yet (unless Mata is on a much bigger contract than we think). I hope we go find a TAM CM who can compete with Herrera and Ring...

If we're going to leave a starter unprotected (itself a debatable strategy) it makes so much more sense for it to be Maxi than Chanot. There has to be more information we don't know (some kind of trade to ensure Chanot not picked, Chanot going to Europe, etc.).

I actually think there's a chance Molino is the only starter in that lineup. The entire back line listed are the backups once they have all their starters, and Shuttleworth is probably the backup, too. Ibson, Thompson, and Martin are all backups, and Gatt almost definitely isn't starting up top...

He's a center back per this.

Cummings to San Jose. And the wait goes on...

Good thing Klinsmann got fired. Saves us from seeing the Khiry as USMNT #10 experiment.

I know people like Eirik here, but him not starting over Saunders for most of the season says a lot about what Vieira thinks of his talent. I think we were always planning to upgrade at keeper this off-season. With that being said, I don't think Johnson's acquisition cost is that bad. His salary...

Finally the baseless DP keeper rumors will end!

Jack's Generation Adidas and gets that money without the cap hit. MLS also had to negotiate with him to get him to come out early, while Khiry was a senior, so he had more leverage.

Disclaimer, this won't happen, but I'd love for MLS to try to land a player like Mario Gotze. He played well enough at Dortmund to land a big transfer to Bayern, isn't currently staring with Bayern (losing him wouldn't kill them), scored the World Cup winner, and he's only 23. He'd be a young...

We all seem to be struggling to find ways to fit our best players into a 4-3-3 yet if we got rid of Frank for a DP right winger most of these issues would go away (disclaimer: I know this isn't going to happen). Instead of forcing Poku into a handful of positions he's not as good at, you just...

Twellman just said Kreis will be part of Klinsmann's staff for Camp Cupcake. At least we won't have to worry about Mix being injured! He'll be safe on the bench for both games.

No longer seems impossible if Danladi enters and with Vincent's stock rising. Personally I'd love to see Danladi get a GA contract because it'd insure we have a shot of getting one of Yaro, Danladi, Harrison, or Vincent. I'd much rather get one of them than Campbell or someone below that.

My guess is they're waiting for the draft plus any transfers we do first. For example, right now we have a need at left back, but if we draft Vincent, sign Matarrita, or both, it's no longer a priority. I'd imagine Vieira has a list of players at each position he wants (and can get) and he'll...

Here's my updated draft preference board with the Generation Adidas signings clearer. I'm not close to an expert, so take this with many grains of salt. 1. Yaro- he's the BPA for most, but if he gets to us at 4 there's probably a convincing reason not to draft him e.g. health. 2. Harrison-...

Even if it is Camp Cupcake I'm really excited for Khiry to get chosen. I'd be great for him to get a cap and for us to have a second USMNT player on the roster.

I watched it again with my little brother and was looking for this. Early in the scene they have a weird angle of Chewie where he looked like a human with really long hair. That's probably what you saw.
