Why won't the club tell us anything!!!
I'm watching all of his goals and realizing something: I miss Jack Harrison.
I'm VERY happy if the Herrera rumor is true. He and Maxi will be great uses of DP slots and hopefully Medina has his sophomore bump and kicks into gear.
I knew we would probably lose Villa and was ok with it seeing as he is on the downswing, but losing Herrera would have been the biggest loss possible.

I don't get those emails because CRM is too difficult to figure out for our reps. So if someone would post that when it appears I would be most grateful.
Quickly chiming in to show support for Herrera, his contributions last year were critical and we had our worst stretch without him.
Not sure about him as a DP, however. As much as we like to think we play some elevated form of team football, our success has been heavily reliant on an MVP-level striker. We will not be a SS contender next year without another.

I don't think we're going to find out about the 28 other players on the roster today either.
Herrera is a key cog, but so is Ring, and he’s not a DP. We need scorers that also put butts in seats..... that the player to spend DP money on since we wasted a slot on Medina.
Those are my thoughts in a nutshell. To further the point, Yangel has no offense in his game. So we'd have three 6s in Ring, Yangel, Sands. And an undersized 10 in Maxi, who's not a real goal scorer (though he had a good rate this past season, I wouldn't rely on him).
I think people are taking this Yangel DP rumor a bit too seriously.
He is a terrific player for us. He deserves to make more. Not sure he deserves more than Ring, who gets a pinch of TAM money.
I guess if there is any complication it might be in the fact that Man City holds his rights and paid some transfer fee for him. It's also possible that his old club has some portion of a sell-on fee. If Herrera is going to stay longer in NY, it may be complicated to untangle all of that.

Aside from the sadness of Villa leaving the club, I can't help but feel that the short-medium term future of the club hinges on who they pick with this third DP slot. You can argue that our potential ceiling just got a little higher, if they replace a 37-year old Villa with an absolute stud. I'm more worried that without a DP who produced as consistently as Villa, our floor got a lot lot lower.
Last year, even when the system looked to have failed we still had times where Villa would bail us out (think DC at home). Now we're entrusting Dome with the task of picking a player who surely has to be the focal point of whatever new system he wants us to play next season. And if either one of the DP or the system itself isn't good enough, who's there to pull a rabbit out of the hat?

This. Minus the fact that Dome isn't picking the next player. At least I hope not
I mean...he's at least going to tell Reyna what he wants, right? You don't have to like Dome to hope that he gets to help choose who his centerpiece player will be
(#WelcomeAmagat)
Agreed. Regardless what our opinion of Dome is. He needs to be able to pick his players. Or have input. Otherwise, there’s no chance making this work. Let him fail spectacularly. Or prove us all wrong. But he deserves the chance.
Still think he's the most overrated player on the team. Great ability lousy soccer sense. I'd be very disappointed as a season ticket holder if him, Maxi, and Medina are our DPs. I am certainly OK with Maxi taking one of those slots but please with the others. Doubt Medina is going anywhere. We need a scorer. 10 Herreras in the midfield won't help us score. I don't have a problem with our defense or midfield. Our offense has been anemic.
3 different friends of mine today have all said they will give up their ST this year unless they get a big name replacement and prefer just to pick up the odd key games here or there on stubhub
