2025 Roster and Transfer Discussion Thread

Striker is a tough position for a young player in MLS to fit in . Nearly every team invests DP/TAM money so the ability to crack the lineup and get minutes is probably the toughest out of any outfield position. If you look at his history, he basically was with a new team every 1-2 years so tough to blame the FO taking a flyer on him and then he goes. There's also a alt history, where he is probably still in Europe if Russia doesn't invade Ukraine.

Don’t know how true this is, but just shows the failures of David Lee. He knows that Martinez is a hot commodity. Maybe the transfer fee was low but bring in a DP striker anyhow.

Would wager the offer would have to be obscene like Santi's for Lee to consider it. Would likely ruin our playoff run this year plus would miss any potential big stage glow up next year with Alonso nearly guaranteed to feature in the World Cup for Costa Rica.
