2024 General MLS Transfer Thread
- Thread starter LionNYC
- Start date
We really don't have a lot of moves at all. Two goalkeepers, five forwards, six midfielders and six defenders are locks for the 20-man. That leaves only one spot, and if we carry three goalkeepers it's none unless we move someone.
I don’t think I agree with us not having roster/cap space. We have 2 dps and 3, but more likely 2 U22s on the roster. Andrade and Sands were both TAM players and left. There is space for good additions.
There is a possibility Sands returns so I don't believe they'll replace him with an expensive option.
There is, but someone must move somewhere. Let's assume two goalkeepers.
G: Freese, Ranjitsingh
D: Gray, Ilenic, Martins, Risa, Tanasijevic, O'Toole
M: Haak, Moralez, Parks, Perea, Rodriguez, Wolf
F: Martinez, Bakrar, Ojeda, Fernandez, Jones
That's 19 guys. If we carry a third goalkeeper, that's our 20. If we don't, we're likely looking to cover O'Toole at left back because that's the only single point failure with no backup.
Now, if players start getting transferred, different story. And that very much may happen with a new gaffer. And maybe we'll make a splash with the one DP and go with two goalkeepers with the understanding we have a couple at the Deuce who can come up if there's an injury.
I'm just saying, as it stands now, we don't have a ton of flexibility unless someone finds a new home.

Haak and Jones were both on the supplemental roster last year, so they don't count towards those 20. We probably are at 17 or 18 players depending on what happens with Jovan.
We're allowed to have up to 30 players contracted (not including players out on loan). The top 20 salaries are on our senior roster, then we can have up to 10 players on the suppplemental roster. Also a bunch of the younger homegrowns are off-roster and unavailable, they would have to be called up to the big club in order to play for us. (Carrizo, Rando, Shore, etc).
FWIW, Romero was on the supplemental roster last year, too, so he shouldn't count even if he stays with the first team.
Right, I get all that, but I'm not talking about the roster rules per se. I'm talking about the people we already have on the squad. The players I named are that squad, and there are 19 of them, and possibly 20 if we carry three goalkeepers on matchday.
Of course, according to the rules, we can move some pieces around. But after throwing over the table and rebuilding across three windows, I highly doubt we're going to have any wholesale changes again, especially since we're already in camp. This is the squad we're running with.
EDIT: I wouldn't be surprised to see us keep our DP in our pocket until the secondary window.
Props to the Portland media team for this one.
Props to all the teams making their rosters better.
Luca de la Torre is a really good get for San Diego. I like his game.

A few more jigsaw pieces in San Diego FC's expansion puzzle fell into place on Wednesday, as the MLS newcomers unveiled two signings slated to play a massive role in their 2025 debut campaign, both on and off the field: US international and native son Luca de la Torre and

Wow, that's a nice addition for Ronnie to work with. A bunch of MLS clubs continue to make very ambitious moves. Yet, still nothing from the organization that supposedly has the best scouting network in the world and whose stated goal is to "compete for trophies every season".
Vancouver brought in someone yesterday. So I think every team in the league has now made significant roster addition aside from David Lee’s New York City
best scouting network means they will sign a lot of prospects. you don't really need to scout impactful players. you just need some money, some ambition, and some good negotiation skills. Lee fails. but we still have time. we could sign someone in the next few weeks and they'll show up 2 months into the season cause of visa issues.

But it's CFG , I know there are salary rules but we have to have pretty much the most money in the league should we choose to spend it.
we did spend it. just on prospects instead of proven players.
