He didn't play for the first several months. So the presumption of more games with your valid concern lends credence to the skepticism.

We were never that old apart from the DPs.
Also, Ethan White shouldn't really be in the 2015 list.
Also, Ethan White shouldn't really be in the 2015 list.
We only drafted one player in 2016. We drafted three in 2017. That's a huge cause to the age difference.
My bad. Removed Norris from 2015 (numbers are basically the same). And that DP comment is not true when looking at it.
Players over 30:
2015 - 10
2016 - 8
2017 - 4
You guys are killing me. Wasn't Akira & Mendoza on the team year 1, just playing for Wilmington?
He was still in the 18 till May, counts for me. It's more then Mix can say these days and I still put him on.

By not playing because he was injured, he missed out on getting a good base of fitness in. Once he started playing, he played nearly non-stop, but he did this without the base that was needed. Thus, his body started to break down, and it was obvious in games that he looked sluggish.
With a full preseason this year, he should hold up for the duration.
So our sports science guys suck. Not helping me feel better here, man.
ETA: I mean, I think it was pretty obvious that teams figured out he wasnt going to race to the end line and cross. When that threat was recognized as nonexistent, he really struggled. There are a limited number of times a winger has to run at an isolated defender before everyone catches on. The question really is whether or not he and the rest of the team can cope with his bread and butter fake out/cut in being shut off.
I agree. And I don't think he'll be in the wing this year because of it. I see Camargo and Lewis as wings, Harrison and macnamara competing for the ten.
The khedeira rumors make me think we are going to play without a CDM again. God help us
He's been injured since before he was drafted. Mix at least played. Brandt is a friend of Shelton\Mix that we keep on the payroll.
Brandt makes such a small salary he doesn't even count against the cap.
I think you're expecting too much from Camargo he's depth that's all.
Khedira is a CDM, though. Or am I misunderstanding?
What he probably meant is if khedira signs with us, he won't be arriving till the summer, hence no CDM for half the season.
He's such a impactful player that I wouldn't mind the wait. Not saying that we'll have a horrible 1st half season coz I'm sure we'll add more than one cdm, but we play in a league that's so competitive that a 2-3 game winning streak can shift the playoff picture in an instant. Just look at the Sounders after Lodeiro came onboard.
I think we can get Awuah to lock down that CDM spot till Khedira arrives. From what I've seen from him from UCONN games he can slot in at a number of spots, he could be like Lopez but with a lot more technical ability.
I was thinking the same. How's this? 2017 is skewed because I don't think Mikey will be starting. Also, do I put in someone like Okoli or Tmac over Lewis....
You think so? I think Vieira wants a rotating crop of young fast guys he can play on the wings. I think if he just wanted depth he could have kept Taylor for less than Camargo cost. And we have Shelton and McNamara for wing depth.
Wing was a major spot for improvement this year. I can't see him grabbing guys that will give him the same conundrum as last year.
