What is your theory? That most players leave the team after a few years?

can we find one of those Zelarayan’s in South America?
(I believe CLB paid around the same fee for Z that we paid for Treats)
I sign a striker, Wing, and number 10. With the 2 DP and the GAM. Don't care which or the 3 is the GAM.
I'm revamping the entire front line. I don't think any forward was good enough this year, and with Heber not back until at least June or July, you can't count on him in 2021. So I'm using all the money we have right now to completely revamp the front line. Our midfield and defense group is elite, with Matarrita the clear weak spot among those eight positions. Maybe I try to find someone to challenge Matarrita's starting role, but aside from that I'm putting all my attention up front.
I'm also looking for a No. 10, while hoping that player can play as a wing until Maxi leaves or gets hurt, etc
From the r/MLS post of the transfer rumors tweet...
Sounds like another Medina. Hopefully this isn't a young DP signing.
yea reading the spanish instagram pages for nacional....they all dislike the dude because he didnt live up to the hype. some willing to say CFG overspent for him. I recall the page said something like $3M for him.
Another Medina!! Fan flippin fanastic! /s
To be fair, sometimes a change or pace does a lot to a player. Maybe that team and league just weren't for him? Or he was just another Medina.
I'm neither going to get excited not disappointed until we see him in action, assuming the reports are true. But I have to note that we get this report, which describes Rodriguez as a "young star in the making who can play CAM or out on the wings" 7 minutes after
I think we just found the intern, or David Lee's sock puppet.
Seriously, nice to see your analysis instantly vindicated

His finishing is great. More of a Mitri mold than Medina on the left. Looks creative and willing to take on a defender. I will take that over whatever Medina has given this team.
Stop with the 19 year old prospects and go get a guy that can tear it up now. Go get a 25 year old from Mexico or Argentina or Brazil who isn’t quite good enough for Serie A.
Obviously, we can't truly judge this guy (or any player for that matter) until he arrives and we see what he can do. I don't see this guy as a worthy DP though and certainly hope the club is not gonna try to make him one.
He could come to MLS and shine or he can fall flat on his face. This would be true for most signings except for top tier superstar players who would shine almost anywhere they go. But for me, this isn't the kind of big name signing I was hoping for if they had to get rid of Ring to do so...

With two open DP spots and a ton of allocation cash, CFG is in a position to buy a cup if it wants to. The latter part is the wild card, and recent history suggests that the plan will instead be to add kind of good players who make us kind of good.

Plan A: Throw everything at getting Mix, Poku and Jonathan Lewis back.
Plan B:
DP slot #1 - a playmaker winger who can change the game on his own (Jonny Russell, Daniel Royer-type)
DP slot #2 - a hungry striker who can operate as a lone target man if required, or complement Heber/Taty in a strike partnership (Robert Beric, Adam Buksa-type)
GAM - throw all of it at an experienced MLS center-back who can come straight in, lead the locker room and captain the team on Ronny's terms. Travel back in time for Walker Zimmerman if you have to.
But please, tell me more about these highly-rated but inconsistent post-hype kids from South America.
