looking more like a 3-4-3 / 3-5-2 variation team. Might as well put Anton and Ronald as outside mids or wingbacks. Others on the roster can play that roll too. Start looking for CB depth and we're good.

so who’s doing all these things? I wonder if we even make a single Acquisition this offseason.

Sports teams lose their GM's all the time. The job continues. We haven't lost the entire front office; David Lee will be in control until we hire a full-time GM. In the meantime, I have no reason to think the team forgets how to operate.
We all credit Claudio for the way the sporting team has operated, but he's not the only person around. He had a great team around him. No front office is just one person.
We all credit Claudio for building a very strong roster. While at least some of that is him, some of it is also CFG’s scouting network. It’s hard to figure how much credit goes to each, but I suppose we are about to find out.
Shopping List
1 backup CB
1 backup LB
2 TAM- level CMs
1 backup CM
1 winger (assuming Jesus is moved)
maybe 1 starting LB (if Mata is moved)
That’s less than most years, and a couple of those might get filled out of the academy.
Left back has been a weak spot on the team pretty much forever. I hope we grab a clear starting upgrade.

I'd like us to go out and sign 3 potential starting LBs with the assumption that 2 of them won't pan out. Idk if we have the money for that but that's my dream.

The only problem with that is the salary cap limitations. There are other areas of need (including finding a replacement for Parks/Ofori, which I would argue is of greater need than layering over Matarrita).
The thing is, he couldn't even fit in with Vermes, who specializes in maximizing moderate Americans. I think his story had been written.
Makes sense, based on a cursory scroll of Whoscored. Would love a dual 10 setup

That aside, I like Rocha and glad about this.
more like Dome put him in his preferred position in the midfield. when he was forced to play right back for tinnerholm in dallas he was horrible. he's just not a defender and that's ok. he does a great job as a depth player in the midfield.
Outside of his debut and one other game I think, he was typically decent and even had a couple of incredible matches. Not bad for a low salary guy like him.
I'm not too sure this paints the whole picture well.
His first game action of the season was as a LCB at Minnesota and that was disastrous. And you are right, when he was forced to play as a RB at Dallas he didn't play particularly well there. Though, the whole team really didn't either, and he was playing on a side that he's a lot less comfortable with.
But he did see action several times throughout the season at LB and I thought he represented himself pretty well at that spot. Nothing to write home about, but solid performances.
“We all dream of a team of all LBs”
“What?”
”a team of all LBs”
“What?”
“but not Matarrita”
“Ok!”
