Just watched KdB go stride for stride with Ismaila Sarr for a loose ball (with angle), I’d have no doubts of his fit here
2025 Roster and Transfer Discussion Thread
- Thread starter LionNYC
- Start date
I think it is fair to include and it is fair to not include. Both are valid explorations of what is happening on the team. Just as it is fair to simply add his 2 PK goals with no further explanation and it is fair to include those two goals with the asterisk that he has only scored 2 out of 4. I simply find it interesting that there is less of a production gulf between him and our next 2 most productive offensive players than I would have predicted.
If Matt Freese (USA) and Tomas Romero (El Salvador) are both called up for the Gold Cup this summer...we may have a problem.
Tournament starts June 14. We play June 12 and then again June 28 which is the same date as the quarterfinals.

add potentially alonso martinez for gold cup
I'm fine with that. No one really cares about gold cup in the US.
at least ilenic is a competent right back. Losing Freese sucks, but i think our back up keepers can handle it. Martinez would be the biggest hole and we only have Bakrar to fill it.
It's not great, but also not as bleak as it has been in the past. Under Cushing, losing a key guy like Maxi or Parks meant everything would fall apart. Pascal just demonstrated he can game plan around the loss of Parks, even when Maxi subs out, the team still looks capable this year as opposed to completely lost like last season. There's a small part of me that's even a bit curious to see what Pascal might cook up to try to score some goals without Martinez up front.

this is why calling up reid this week made no sense. i think he only has one more window and with gold cup and legues cup coming up he could of been used there even as a back up for few minutes.

What’s the benefit of keeping Sands on loan for another season? St. Pauli clearly like him.
I think St. Pauli had the option to extend the loan for a season, so perhaps that's all that happened. Also possible that the two sides adjusted terms in some way.

But does longer loan period open up his roster slot to more possibilities to fill it with? Salary or Tag wise?

He's officially gone for the season so we open up the roster spot but not cap space as far as I understand the ridiculous MLS roster rules.
Cap space depends on who is paying his salary. I think it's safe to assume that St. Pauli is paying his salary.
Right. He's on $1.05M/year, so he frees up both cap space and TAM. My guess is that in loan situations, MLS only gives credit for the portion that receiving team is paying, although I have never seen that confirmed. I have seen something suggesting that St. Pauli is paying all of Sands' salary. That would actually be a big hit for them, as their total budget is only $1.5-2.0M higher than ours, and they have it spread across 45 players.
