I’d prefer a Taty type player than a Suarez at the end of his career type player. We’re 1 for 3 (Villa, Lampard and Pirlo) on those but have done well with scouting young talent to develop further.
2022 Roster Discussion

- Start date
I mean, we've also had a bunch of youngen strikers who didn't work out... Okoli being one of them.
Yeah. Gray is a special case for the reasons I laid out, but generally life’s too short to spend time cataloging the limitations of roster slots 15-28 in a salary capped league.

Okoli, Mindoza, Lewis, Shelton, Mullins, Medina to an extent, Poku. I’m sure there’s more.
For every Taty you will probably get three or four Okolis. For every maxi, you’ll get 1 or 2 mitritas. For every Villa you hope to get only 1 Pirlo. The goal is to limit your Okolis, Mitritas, and Pirlos.
I wouldn't care about his gait and running style if it didn't seem like it caused him to lose his balance a lot (which could just be coincidence, I know). And if he was pinging balls in with any decent consistency and accuracy. I wouldn't care. But his gait and visually uncoordinated movements in addition to what seems like an inability to strike a ball cleanly ... eh. i dunno.
He can improve these things with guidance and training. But it doesn't seem like something that he is working on from my point of view.
We can't forget Nemec and we could probably add Mackay-Stevens as well.
After Villa, Lampard and Pirlo, the club definitely decided on a different strategy with designated players and that was to only sign DPs whose last name begins with the letter “M.”
Moralez
Medina
Mitrita
Magno/Martins (take your pick)
Martins again
This really needs to be considered more when discussing potential new signings.

They were playing the long game with the planned culmination being Messi only to be foiled by PSG.
Looks like the put in a bid for a Colombian attacking midfielder who plays in gremio. I believe conversion from 14M Brazilian real toUSD is about 2.5M.
"Give me your Thiagos, your M's, your Brazilian ballers yearning to breathe free . . . "
Yep, that's about right. Just under $2.6 million, which looks to be a bit of a bargain. Interesting move.

maxi replacement. Santi loan is up at the end of season and I think maxi only got one year extension? I could be wrong there
It’s great to think long term but with maxi still here hopefully to the end of the season I’d rather replace one of the guys who aren’t first .
Maxi's extension was 1 year with an option for 2023. It does not says whose option, but I think in MLS it is a club option unless specified usually.
