Facey And Angelino Gone
- Thread starter Kjbert
- Start date
Hernandez and Mena are definitely MLS quality CBs. In case you hadn't noticed, CBs generally suck in the league. For all teams, did you see Josh Williams is starting at CB for a playoff team? The teams that have a decent CB are like the one eyed man being king of the blind. What we don;t have, is a CB that can match up on corner kicks. That would be my biggest target in the offseason.
Tefu signed with a team in Europe, not sure Tefu is an option anymore.
Another asterisk in the decision making from this club. Let that kind of talent slip by to sign Mena... Who has been .. Eh, meh and haha.
Fully admit I'm grabbing at straws a little, but we'll see.
Come on guys. Even if Facey and Angelino don't return, it's not like we don't have a good friend in Manchester. We are going to get a couple guys on loan every year.

Probably an unpopular suggestion, but what about Oguchi Onyewu?
We tried that already and he's trash.
His body is trash he was here for a trial and got hurt.... came back... got hurt. He couldn't even make it through 2, 2 week trials...

Maybe is Aston Villa relegates, maybe Micah Richards would want out. Idk I'm just thinking of scenarios.
He would get hurt just trying to get to the phone to answer the call to see if he's still interested.
We were told 4 loanees. Only 1 this year. I think after they saw the poor start and issues in the back line they made the call with Angelino after the academy season was over. If we can get 4 loanees of their caliber every year I'd be thrilled.
Not sure I agree. I think perhaps that Facey himself is not sure of whether he is done or not, and doesn't want to risk having to say his goodbyes months later when his messages will go unnoticed, but I don't think a decision will be made on whether either of them are coming back until pre-season is close to starting.
That would be fine, but the loanees need to be here for day one of training camp. No midseason acquisitions unless they're a perfect fit.
I wonder if the experience of Angelino and Facey was good or bad. On one hand, they were able to live in New York City. Probably pretty cool. On the other hand, Angelino barely made the bench down the stretch and didn't seem like he was enjoying his football.
I don't know if the loans worked or not.

Guys if you want to pile on Kreis that's your prerogative but this was a CFG decision.

Actually no Mena and Hernandez aren't starters in MLS. Hernandez was a backup in SJ and Mena plays young/scared. Josh Williams is starting CB for the worse defense in MLS. (watch Drogba score 2-3 more tomorrow). And he's only starting because of injuries and a super weak CB corps. I'll take SKC, Portland, Montreal, Dallas, Seattle etc defense over NYCFC or TFC any day.
