2018 Roster Discussion

[JayH]

Schnitzer tweeted that he expects that we will add one more tonight. I guess it may just be that trialist? And he did also tweet that Lewis was supposed to start last game so there’s that.

Danny Bedoya is still with the team in training wearing number 21. I'd give 5-4 probability it's him.

 

[Midas Mulligan]

No left back.

 

[Christopher Jee]

No left back.

Yeah trail went cold on the Polish kid. Maybe Matarrita as a winger will be less of a thing. I thought he was great as an inverted full back attacking the half space between the wing and the center.

 

[LeeNYCFC]

No left back.

 

[Midas Mulligan]

Fml.

I always thought Rodney Wally should try playing Left Back

He wouldn't offer much going forward, but would probably be our best defensive option there. He played there in one game last year and struggled, and many have assumed he's just awful there based on that one performance that was sandwiched in between him playing wing. I'd be willing to give him a shot there based on our current options.

Or better yet, if we are going to end up pulling Isi or Medina into the midfield, why not try Ofori there? Especially with the way Dome likes to invert the fullbacks?

Just own it and say “anyone but sweat”. Because that’s what we’re all thinking.

Did you create this?

Think that was done without irony by another poster.

Like a sky mall motivational poster.

Dude just Twitter searches his own name?

This also marks 3 seasons in a row a player has responded to my negative Twitter post without having tagged him. The previous 2 are no longer with the team.

Truly, the new Mikey. But better.

Mikey 2.o.

You posted a response to a well-known podcast's tweet/question - it's not as if yours was a prime-level tweet.

Don't put the blame on the player assuming he searches his own name.

Let's not just assume he searches his own name. It's also likely that someone very close to him saw it and pointed it out to him.

I think his response is pretty funny

With each season that passes our transfer expectations get less & less. MLS is finally starting to realize the type of league it is. Less big talents but more quality players spread throughout. That is 100% the right move now.

 

[dummyrun]

Less big talents

The league has more talent at the top than ever. Maybe fewer geriatric big names, but I'm not even sure that's the case after the Zlatan and Rooney signings.
