2019 Roster Discussion

[D_RoyJenkins]

Also, I find it very hard to believe that Yangel rumor

Herrera is great but yeah, the case for making him a DP is slim.

The argument for:

• He obviously deserves a raise.
• Giving him one could induce him to stick around.
• You get a Young DP, so you can invest more in the middle of the roster.

The argument against:

• Center mids are cheap in MLS. Even if Herrera had played every minute for NYCFC this season, his expected compensation would barely crack the max budget charge.
• $350k in cap space buys you a lot less potential advantage than the unlimited DP spend you're giving up.
• I'm not sure Herrera's skillset is particularly well suited to the system Torrent is trying to build.

More arguments against...

He wants to be in Europe, thinks he belongs there right now. Money won't change that.

no please anyone but herrera, he's a 2 bit puerto rican midfielder who can be replaced.

Still want me to delete quoted posts?

hes an overrated Guyanese midfielder who we can now replace in the offseason.

Might be tough to land in the right spot off an injury-shortened season, though. I think there's room to cut a deal for at least half of next year, I just don't see why it should be a DP deal.

 

[Kjbert]

Herrera as a DP is a lazy move that only serves the purpose of helping Man City.

Just an idiot friend. Thinks my name can be connected to him too easily. I posted and then he was like hey don't put that anywhere yet. Whatever. I agree with you. Difference is this was true and came from a legit 100% source that's all.

i know hes not the best, but not sure the FO is even seeing that position as priority, however i dont see him being DP worthy at all.

this is my point, there is no need to even consider him as a DP. Might as well make Tommy Mac a DP at that point

The club can fuck off if this is their plan.

Also, build the Villa statue the second after the stadium gets built in 100 years.

If our 3 DPs are Maxi, Medina, Yangel, I would walk away if I was Dome. The supposed wealthiest team in the league, in the #1 market in the league handicaps themselves like this? It’s absurd.

I'm walking away too as a season ticket holder. If CFG isn't going to invest in this club, I'm not going to either.

im curious what the "south american chatter" he is referring to.

maybe some South American teams were looking to sign Yangel, but were turned down
