2025 Roster and Transfer Discussion Thread

[moogoo]

2 days until end of the primary transfer window.

dead silence.

"Essentially, we go into every transfer window trying to improve the team." -- David Lee

"We expect to be pretty active" -- David Lee

I don’t think Lee or CFG care much about on field success. I think we just operate as another exchange for CFG to invest and sell assets. The lack of focus on specific roster needs, the failure to fill glaring holes, and the age and credentials of his signings confirm this. Maybe Lee has some reservations about this and/or is under strict orders from CFG, but if Lee does have any flexibility as to a focus on actual MLS success, he’s also incompetent.

I'll be honest if they don't do anything to convince me their trying to be competitive when the new stadium opens I might be out on MLS until they possibly sell (which they probably never will)

I think there is some truth to this, but at the same point, because they will make more money if they invest to fill the stadium at higher prices, you might see further investment for those reasons.

Yes, it’s always been my hunch that they are going to alter the blue print to some degree temporarily as they open the new stadium.

I mean if the Lee doesn’t, than why even have a GM. It’s literally his job. Even if CFG isn’t like all into opening the purse strings for DP and Young DP, there’s still league allocated funds to help out. There is an interest in putting a better product on the field regardless of how passive it is. Just for brand relevance minimum.
