2018 Roster Discussion

[Kjbert]

Is this the year we get an alumni match?

I think half that team is out of soccer. Grabavoy, Ballouchy, Brovsky, Lampard, Pirlo.

It will be interesting to see if Lampard and Pirlo ever come back for any sort of anniversary events or ceremonies at any point in the future. Will be a good indicator of how each feels about their time here looking back.

We know Villa is coming back to unveil the statue of himself outside the new stadium.

I hope they name the pitch after him in addition to the statue since it won't need to be Ethiad field any more since it will be Etihad stadium.

Naming a field is so ridiculous. I've only seen it done in college sports for donation purposes or to honor someone like James Naismith or Coach K.

Maybe David Villa gets a stand named after him.

All threads lead to the stadium thread...

True very off topic, my fault... So anyone got any rumors yet?

 

[Kjbert]

It has already been confirmed that there will be a David Villa statue at the entrance of the yet to be seen Soccer Specific Stadium.

I wouldn’t mind Standing in the David Villa section of the new stadium

Confirmed, first official unofficial rumor reagarding the statue of David to be erected outside of Etihad space station stadium.

Section 7?

Negative to Wolfgangs & Quality Meats. Perhaps he and his 4 attractive female companions prefer a vegetarian diet now....

I have it from an inside source that Gomez, Stertzer, and Lopez have been cut from the team. Someone I trust but nothing I can confirm, do with that what you will.

 

[Mario]

sounds like the illuminati.

THIS should definitely happen once we build ourselves a home field. He was the first one signed to the club and undoubtedly, has contributed the most to its success.

And I know just the pose for that statue.

Gomez - Was on loan the full year. He counts as an American and is just 21 years old. I could see us loaning him again, unless Vieira/Reyna think he's not developing well enough.

Stertzer - Not a surprise. He played 10 minutes in our USOC game as a sub. Subbed in. Subbed out. He's gone.

Lopez - This is a surprise as he's been a good option to go to off the bench when needed. If it's a salary dispute, I don't think he's worth anywhere above $80K and he's currently making $75K.
