2022 Roster Discussion

Yes.

I’ve always believed you need at least 5 CBs - 6 if you want to play three in the back. The Club rarely goes beyond 4.

 

[moogoo]

i think we'll sign another CB or two and have them play on NYCFC II if necessary.

Haak is 4th choice. Nico provides cover at RB and deep cover at CB. He’s a natural CB.

he followed up with this, but im confused because the kid already played in USL Championship. Why would he go from that to Academy deal.

When I first saw this I mistook the Lansdowne Bhoys logo for Heineken and thought this was a really dumb beer commercial. But there really is a player named Jack Beer and I guess he's on NYCFC now? Maybe MLS 2? or practice squad depth? That's a big jump from amateur league to MLS.

Apparently, he was one of the mystery men in Mexico for us.

he was playing college at georgetown until 2019 it seems. he was in the game vs inter playa in cancun. i assume he will sign for MLS 2.

14 of 24 is nothing. our certain player has a 100% rate of injury in the 80-90th minute.

Good. Fuck River. They’re sitting on CFG money.

He was in neutral last night and scored two goals.

yes it seems to be the tactic. either have a player force his way out or try to buy 50% of his sell on rights which just means you get to keep the player for a portion of his true value. but CFG is not in need of the money so they will hold off. i dont think either tactic works on them.

I do think Taty looked relatively “unsettled” last night.

I do think Taty looked relatively “unsettled” last night.

he looked fine for the first goal celebrating with teammates and doing a dance. in the second goal he looked more like meh i scored. could just be the vibe of the game as they were in control for the most part at that point.

i'm sure he's feeling uneasy about his future. understandable.

as long as he's performing and working hard, the rest will work itself out.

Don't think it impacted his performance much. He put in a solid shift, nothing spectacular. He seemed to lack a little joy/passion/anger (emotion?). But I don't think he was the only one.

 

[Fantazma]

these have been floating around. the original rumor came from a river plate news account though.
