My inside sauces are telling me to keep an eye open towards Lewis O'Brien who is a 24 yo midfielder at Nottingham Forest.
2023 Roster and Transfer Discussion Thread
- Thread starter Shwafta
- Start date
Linked to a move to MLS after a transfer snafu left him in limbo. Interesting idea there -- would probably have to be a loan if we're signing Santi to a DP contract.
Columbus and Atlanta are also interested. Supposedly we're negotiating the loan fee and we have the edge.
Oh and BTW, there wasn't anything mentioned in the MATCHDAY section, so here's today's Starting XI vs Portland. Looks like Cush in going with his day 1 lineup.
Interesting. Would he be a backup to Keaton? Or would he be a CAM?
Wow, that would be a very solid move.
Nottingham Forest outcast Lewis O'Brien wanted by host of MLS clubs
LEWIS O’BRIEN is waiting to speak to one of THREE MLS clubs in America. New York City, Columbus Crew and Atlanta United all want the Nottingham Forest outcast. The midfielder, 24, could end up in …

I'm sure it's been discussed here during my off season sabbatical but since we've lost 3 players who wore the armband, this season's captains are going to be Chanot, then Alfredo, Martins and Parks if I'm to guess correctly?
Would he supplant Alfredo in the pecking order in midfield? Transfermarkt lists attacking mid as a position he can play, but he appears to be a DM or central midfielder in the Prem.
He seems to have been highly sought by decent championship sides but a loan to Blackburn fell through last minute. I don't think he'd come to MLS to be backup.
Such good news here. We have our No. 10. Now just need a backup CB, a another forward (depending on how Talles does, maybe a backup striker or a starting striker/winger), and another midfielder for depth. Starting to feel like we're going to be OK this year.
We have a really good starting XI, just need some depth now. I think it would be wise to wait until summer to find another striker so we can see if Talles is that guy. If he is, we bulk up elsewhere. If he isn't, we find a new starting striker.

Talles was the main starter at striker by the end of the year. Heber was a bench piece and only started when Talles got hurt near the end of the regular season.
If the Ledezma signing goes down, then he becomes the back-up No. 10. I think they'll sign another winger and another box-to-box midfielder, in addition to another striker. There would seem to be another 3-4 moves coming at some point. Maybe one of them is Sands returning, maybe it's the rumors about Lewis O'Brien, then a winger and a back-up CB and we're pretty much where we want to be.
If we sign Ledesma and he is as impressive as we hope then he replaces maxi and santi replaces santi. Striker on the other hand… I don’t know
I assume Pereira replaces Santi at RW, he started the preseason once he finally got his visa issues sorted.
I think everyone agrees we have pieces missing, but we can also celebrate when one of them gets filled.
Let's take a quick look at our history, specifically the season we'd all love to relive. Here's what our players in and out looked like in our dream season.

mgarbowski that many (most?) on this board thought Morales was worth a damn.
I don't know if the squad has depth or not. I don't know if Andrade will develop on the wing or Magno in the center the way we'd hope. Same as we didn't know Heber would go on a tear in 2020 or Taty would go on a tear in 2021. But all of this seems like dejavu all over again to me.
