No, but its generally a pretty cheap way to add a very talented player. Maybe we hold the international spot open for a summer signing or loanee at a position that needs reinforcement.

Wow, if we manage to pull off Matarrita and Teixeira I will piss myself.
No, we have 10 spots. We have nine filled if we sign Teixeira, so one still available.
No one wants to compare us to RBNJ but I remember reading somewhere that when Terry Henry played for them, people complained that he was making nearly as many goals but his assist count went way up. I'm curious to see if something like this would happen if Villa was moved to the left side, less goals but more production. I know the Bold Prediction thread is dead but I want to say if villa was moved out and Mullins played St/CF we would be raving about Mullins almost as much as Poku. Don't give me flack but that's my bold prediction if we play Villa out and Mullins in.
I agree, but I could still see it be used now for another CB. We are still shakily relying on improved play from Mena, or settling for another year of Hernandez. Tosin Adinbioyo was a rumored target of Vieira, maybe they'll push for him yet.
If you look under the MLS Roster page, Jack Harrison is not listed as an international player and not counted toward our number of intentional roster spots. We have 10 total spots, two of which expire at the end of the calendar year 2016 because we traded for them. Next year we only have 8 unless we make trades for more.

This would be great if true and not premature. I don't know whether he qualifies for a Green Card given the time he's already spent in the states, but it's certainly possible.
So, Matarrita is supposedly coming in under the maximum salary, so we don't need TAM for him. Not sure about Teixeira. I assume we've found a way to use TAM money for Mix.
So, it seems likely that we could have enough TAM money for another big signing. What kind of player should we look for? Another CB? A Winger? Could we chase Tim Howard or Brad Guzan for TAM money?

Don't think we are getting Howard for TAM money. Regardless of his age one of the smaller city MLS teams will give him serious DP money just for the giant bump in attendance he would provide.
Any special rules because of GA that would cause him not to count regardless of his green card situation?
I think Mullins deserves a shot to show what he can do in the starting line up. Villa has expressed that he prefers playing in the center but then he always drifts out wide left anyway. Hopefully he would be open to giving it a go on the LW so that Mullins can get a shot. The fact that we hear nothing about the team looking for another striker makes me think they are very confident in Mullins. Either way I think he will get considerably more time this year. Just think of how much more time he would had gotten last year if he took all of Nemec's early season min.
I just want Villa to express that he can play a match without pouting & walking.
the more the years pass the more this happens. we start pouting more and no longer able to run as much
Each team gets 8, but they can be traded (with an expiration date). Vancouver seems to have one from Colorado until 2031, but that's probably a typo.

I watched every second that Henry played with the redbulls and no way villa does what Henry did in terms of assists. Different players different roles.
