Really excited to see how Haak slots in a back 5 or as a 6.

if we go and become the first MLS team to win CCL next year too.. woooo

Can we make it a quadruple? We have the depth. I don't see why not? Would be absolutely amazing.

Assuming we don’t lose TOO much, I would like to see us split squad and give Haak, Malte, Cacha, Isi, Zelalem etc get run outs in some of these comps. We can afford to rotate.

Grey is what you get from a talented 19-YO. There was a lot of good mixed with moments of bad judgment. He had our opening assist against NE and drew the foul for the free kick we scored on today. He also was out of position at times, including on the tying goal.

I love the kid. We weren’t expecting to put this much responsibility on him so quickly, but he’s done well and should only get better.

i also just remembered we have our NYCFC II squad next year too. Seems like we're going to be doing a lot of signings this window to fill out the squads.

but yes, those guys need minutes.

Grey was better defensively and worse offensively than I expected. I also don’t think he’s as quick as I would hope for a FB. Maybe he’s still hurt? He runs kind of funky.

I thought amateurs could play for NYCFC 2? Meaning Gloster and Rocha could get run outs next to a 17 year old academy player.

yea. he runs hunched over. i don't know how he can get his legs moving with his body balanced that way. shocked no one has ever tried to correct it cause he would be MUCH faster/quicker and have MUCH better balance if he was upright. when he takes people on 1v1, he always seems to fall over for this reason

next pro is a pro league. don't think it's for academy players. but no full details have been out so who knows. guess we'll find out in the coming months

i think technically no. its a "pro league" even if its mostly reserve teams

Interesting. Did we get confirmation that 2 players won’t count against the MLS Cap rules? Are the rosters expanding beyond 30?

And I might add…At the age of 19 he has won more MLS Cups than any right back in a New England Revolution or RBNJ uniform, ever.

Dating back to ‘96 it took 25 years for the team I supported to win the cup. I’m still in a bit of a daze with an idiot grin on my face. Words are failing me.

 

[Aleeksa]

Didn’t qualify my comments. Just that Tayvon wasn’t very good. I understand the reasons why.
Let’s hope we have a new starting RW next season

This was the same attitude everybody had with Taty, look at him now.
This was also the same attitude everybody had with Ronny, look at him now.

Same attitude some had with Medina. Still waiting.

 

[Fantazma]

That’s a lot for an international spot right?
