2019 Offseason Thread

Seems strange that they are broadcasting the expansion draft with it being only one team. Isn't it just a matter of FCC submitting a list with the 5 players they want?

How about this. If a free agent is taken in the Expansion Draft, and then goes back and signs with his original team, then the original team sends the expansion team some minor compensation - like $50K in GAM or something.

Is that the rule? It would make sense.

 

[Fantazma]

too much crap before the damn picks i think even ours with orlando didnt even take this long

EDIT: jesus same questions being asked over and over

 

[adam]

No Whammy. Only 1 pick left...

 

[Fantazma]

ah yes Ibeagha staying

EDIT: they rather pick a kid from USL than ibeagha...interesting

NYCFC is safe from the Expansion Draft, no players from the club selected.

this team will be more like Minnesota than atlanata/ LAFC

Bobby Warshaw on air just said that Hassan Ndam's one MLS start was vs. NYCFC and that he shut down David Villa.

His only start was vs. Columbus.

Ndam played in the 4-0 USOC game against us. Bobby was wrong to suggest it was his only MLS start, but right about what matters. He started against us in a shutout.

ETA: too slow

What if a guy like Diego Rossi was being shopped. 12 goals last year.

I wouldn’t be thrilled with it considering the rest of the squad. But he was better than Medina.

I normally would not post a Twitter rumor from an unknown someone with 140 followers but it curiously echoes KJB:

On the other hand, she also predicted Montreal would trade Chris Duvall to Montreal during the draft and called someone a dickhead after being called out for unsourced rumors.

I'm bored.

The Kjbert post and the tweet I linked to is the sum total of the rumors/information.

lol i got that, just i dont see why he would be shopped around by LAFC?, like was he not doing well when he started? like was he that bad? i dont believe this at all.

Two possible reasons:
1. it's not true
2. LAFC want to sign a new DP and have to offload one to do so

Rossi for our 3rd DP? No thank you.

im leaning on 1.
