No problem, we have an entire year's experience dealing with players made of glass.... as long as Senderos isn't prone to hamstring injuries he should be considered.
Good point. But against a good team, that tactic is not supposed to work. If we can keep possession, you will minimize their attacking chances and create more scoring opportunities. It's only when we can't win the skill race then the foot race becomes important.
Alonso would be great, but we already have 3 DPs and TAM guy. I know he is a evil former Kreis player, but Will Johnson has been made surplus to requirements at Portland, maybe we should make a run for him. Affordable, under 30 and can play CDM.
I don't think he is that good he is the same as Jacobson, though with the new tam we can use part of it to buy down Mix affect on the cap
I'm sorry but this is wrong. Osvaldo Alonso is one of the best CDM in MLS, far superior to AJ, who isn't even really a DM. Alonso would be a huge upgrade but I don't see us affording him, unless Seattle split his costs with us.
Or he takes a discount either way
Mix is regular AM (RAM?), no? TAM didn't exist until after he was signed.
Isn't WJ making like 300ish K?
I can totally believe that all of the teams knew TAM was coming this year (not just the owners footing the bill), and while it hadn't been officially unveiled the other clubs weren't going to get in the way of NYCFC using it before the unveiling on a returning MNT player like Mix. So I have a hard time believing that NYCFC & Kreis didn't understand the newest Cap Rule and what the ramifications of it's use would be. However IF, and it's a big IF.... but IF Kreis used TAM on Mix without knowing what it was or how the rules apply to it, then that's just one more mark against his usefulness as an MLS insider.
Thanks for putting words in my mouth. Never did I say Kreis had it out for CFG. But I do find it hard to believe they used a cap rule without knowing what it was called.
