Great news, some extra wing depth, adds more speed and doesn't cost an Intl slot.
My favorite part of all these acquisitions is that we have not added a single slow poke outside of maybe Brillant where speed most times is irrelevant. Matarrita, Martinez, Lopez, and Gomez being added to a healthy Taylor and more mature, fully fit Shelton is a ton of pace for a squad to have.
I believe the answer to your question lies in the picture that is in the post which you quoted.
I'm a big fan of this move. He's quick and showed great touch in the limited amount I saw him play. Not to mention he's 19 and doesn't take an international spot. Should fit in well.
It seems hard not to like given age, cost, no int'l and position. Basically a call option on guy with some potential is areas where we are still thin in terms of proven talent. Do you think he contributes this year though? I haven't really seen him, so I don't have a view. For example, odds he gets 500+ minutes?
with RJ being injured and possibly having iraola missing some games due to his age we might see him, worst case scenario he'll be on the field against the cosmos in the US open cup
Yeah, but did any of them ever play at RSL? I rest my case....
You never know, how many people saw Poku doing as well this year before last year?
Keep in mind, they actually broadcast those games for free.
What does resident mean in terms of not counting as an international? Jack Harrison went to school and played his summers with Manhattan SC, so he was a resident of North Carolina and New York.
i think its a green card terminology....you are a "permanent resident" when you obtain a green card. i think thats what it says on the actual card.

"Two sources say that Harrison has indeed been ruled out for the entire season, which kicks off this weekend; Vieira maintains that no such judgment has been made and pledged that his prized rookie will “have a part to play” in MLS this year."

man if true....WTF? i knew he was injured pre draft....but still is it that bad? how did he get injured exactly?
I hope Brandon Vincent doesn't turn out the way they think he will.
One heartening thing from the article is that PV denied it very forthrightly, with no hedging or doublespeak. Now I suppose he could just be a big faT liar but the usual CFG procedure in such situations is silence, with occasional hedging or doublespeak if they absolutely can't get away with silence. So maybe these reports are just wrong.
OTOH, we moved heaven and earth to get a guy who failed his pre-draft physical.

Hopefully he plays well and represents the U.S. well and only has horrible matches against NYCFC.
