The Little Genius is back!
2026 Roster and Transfer Discussion Thread
- Thread starter LionNYC
- Start date
Maxi vid also leaked the preseason roster
At some point, the expiration date is just going to start flashing during a match.
maybe i missed it, but did not see Malachi on there. That's not good news.

I don't think that's the full preseason roster. It appears to have only 24 names on it which is far too small for a preseason roster. If they filmed it Saturday on medicals day, it probably had something to do with that.
He was on another vid I caught on Facebook, standing on the platform for testing vertical leap, but he didn't do a vertical.

There was another clip of him working with a physical therapist with a couple of the guys standing around talking to him. He clearly still has a way to go. Maybe even a long, long way ...
The good news: Pepe seems to be training at something very close to normal. He wasn't kidding when he said he would be ready very close to the start of the season.
If everyone were healthy, that wouldn't be half bad. Not half bad at all.
We still desperately need more guys in the attack who score more than a maximum of 3 goals a season.

Where’s Gyan?

Also does the Ilenic news mean Baeira has that spot?

So if we are choosing, which front 4 do we most like as starters?
A
Reid
Magno - Nico - Wolf
B
Nico
Magno - Maxi - Wolf
C
Some other combo where Ojeda finds a spot. I'm struggling to see that. But maybe his pace pushes Hannes onto the bench?
My core assumption above is that Nico, Magno and Wolf are the most likely starters to build around. Any case for an alternative?
The club is setting up a transfer for Illenič.

They said he's away from the team while they negotiate a transfer.
Which is probably pretty solid indication that Talles really is part of their plans for this year, since if they were trying to transfer him he'd also be not traveling.

A but Wolf-Magno-Nico.
I vote A, but unless Reid lights it up in pre-season, I think Pascal will go with B, which IMO is a waste of Nico's best abilities.
Agreed. It's not enough to just get into a threatening position, even consistently. We need shots on target to create actual fear.
