That’s his position on the U17s. We played him at CDM preseason and he looked good in it. That’s where he subbed in at as well. I could see him backing up both positions, he’d get more minutes that way, especially if he’s CB #4.

right but i dont know if PV sees him as a CB though even though he has experience there. pre season will be a better indicator and if we dont get any more CB's then yes he will be counted as one.
They list him as a CB on the roster. No reason he can't deputize at CB and CM. He could do what Sweat and Lopez did.
i still see him as back up like sweat but not a CB first, again we shall see how pre season goes and if we get another CB will answer questions not based on lists
i still want another CB in case of injuries/ suspension etc or the CB 3 you were saying. unless you meant someone else there
This is where I am. I’m ok with him being CB #5 if we are playing 4 ATB. I’m just not comfortable yet that he has the body to play as a CB in this league and I prefer him as a backup DM.
If we plan on playing 3 ATB however, need another
Yes he is. He's also 3 years older. Is Sands where Glaad was 2-3 years ago? How do we find out?
Well, I want 5, plus a utility guy who can play CB and fullback (or CDM, I suppose). That list includes 3 dedicated CBs and 2 guys who play other positions to some extent (neither of whom were primarily CBs in 2017). So, yes, I think we need another one on top of that list.
Look at it this way. Let's assume a roster of 27 players. That means you have 24 outfield players. How does that break down? I think 5 CBs plus a utility guy makes sense when you run the numbers. I also think you are dealing with 3 really good players, another just a notch below that, and 2 guys who are league minimum types.
We always have the option of picking some up else up during the summer window as well.
I've been waiting for some Generation Adidas news and rumors and draft articles forever.
I don’t think Doyle thinks it’s a good idea. I think he’s trolling us.
I don’t see how this is even close. Kind of agree with you that you can’t know.
Doing some weird balance of age and experience and potential, I think Sands has a better range of passing than Glad. I don’t expect James will grow into a physical CB presence, and I think his best qualities would be wasted in a back 2 unless it was for an absolutely dominant team.
Doyle is getting to be a lot more like this episode of South Park when it comes to NYCFC matters...
That's s good point
Midas Mulligan - he's a CB for a team with 65% possession where he steps up into he midfield to make passes.
He's also 17 so who the hell knows

I like him better in the middle of a 3 where he would basically play like a CDM, but I am aware it’s as likely due to my bias for wanting him there as anything objective.
Expecting any big signings in the January window? I would imagine if they’re waiting for that then they’re paying a transfer fee?
I’m just hoping we’re not going into the season as we stand right now with the hopes of bringing people in during the summer window.
It’s been quiet lately.

For what it's worth, which may not be much seeing as how we've only had two previous off-seasons to go by, we've made big-ish signings late in the window. Again, hard to predict trends based on only two cases but just thought I'd mention it.
