MLS - July 17 - Columbus (Away)

So, I haven't read any rumors about us sniffing around for a DP level striker... and the window will be closed in a few weeks. What are the chances we end the window without a DP striker?
100%
Wasbt it Lee that said we would get one?

I don't remember. I think he may have mentioned that we were looking into possibly making another signing in the summer window, but he didn't mention anything specific. I think it was abromowitz who said he expected the club to sign a DP striker this summer.

There are a few weeks to go and the club may be working on something. We'll just have to wait and see and hope Thiago tears things up on the wing and Taty rediscovers his form until then.

At some point should SJ start declining these callups? He's, at best, the #3 keeper and it's really silly for him to miss time with us to not play for the National team.

I was thinking about this last night as well. From where I sit, it looks like he’s fourth keeper right now. It’d be great for the club, but he’s an injury away from being on a World Cup roster. I don’t think you throw away that chance and start declining call ups with a shot like that.

As a supporter, I would think so. But for him, I'm sure he feels very honored to even get the call up. By my count, he's probably 4th in the depth chart. There's a good chance he won't even get selected for the WC squad if we qualify. and maybe not even for all of the WCQ games.

A third WC keeper probably probably never sees the field but he’s still a WC squad member. Makes sense for Johnson to stay involved in case something happens and he gets that chance, but after Qatar, I’d rethink the +/- , especially if he doesn’t go.
 
I'm up in Orange County, NY tonight... Not sure if that's within the blackout radius. But if so I can always fall back on my VPN.
It very much is. Even Saratoga county and Albany county are in black out radius. If you can get YES regionally you’re blacked out :/
