2017 Roster Discussion

-------Wallace-----Villa-----Harrison----
----------------Maxi------Pirlo--------------
-----------------------Ring-------------------
--Matarrita--Callens--Chanot--Allen---
---------------------Johnson----------------

Bench: Johansen, Brillant, Herrara, McNamara, Okoli, Sands, Camargo/Shelton?

Lewis replaces the 18th man when he comes back to the team...
As much as I love Allen... I'm surprised we didn't bring in another RB at a higher level
 
It's going to be interesting how Brillant will be used this year. He's base/guaranteed salary is 266/300K.

That's massively expensive for a backup CB (Chanot and Callens ahead)...

Khiry had an awful preseason game highlighting the weaknesses in his game but

He led the MLS in assists/90 minutes last year. Khiry is going to be on the roster but is not going to be on the pitch much if he plays like today.

Seriously after watching tonight's game just now. The additions of Wallace, Maxi, Lewis... I seriously think Khiry Shelton gets cut/traded (doubt anyone would trade for him) before the season. The guy is clueless and his days are numbered.

One of the last vestiges of the Kreis era.

Agreed. His touches are way too heavy. Almost like he plays nervous.
He's just not an aggressive person. He's passive and until he learns that he has no place in this league. There are plenty like him that have turned it around and developed into nice players. I just don't see it. He doesn't have the mental makeup. I hope he proves me wrong but I doubt it.
