Would you prefer demechellis or xavi?
personally, I think we would win a lot more games with a guy like Demechellis in the back. But Im prob one of the few people who would actually like him as a Dp. I had my reservations at first about getting a center back Dp after the Marquez horror story at red bull, but Marquez sucked mainly cause his attitude sucked…A DP center back would give us a VERY balanced team. We would have a leader in the back in Demechellis, lamps and mix in the middle and Villa leading up top. Could make us very dangerous.
Nope, he's from Manchester.
However, with a name like Shay Facey I wouldn't be surprised if his parents were Irish.
Do UK citizens not need a work permit to play in the US?
I wonder if they are delaying the actual signing until the CBA is sorted. Maybe he couldn't play anywhere else if he is on the books and they strike.
Forget about the title DP. DP is anyone that makes over 389k. Liam Ridgewell, a serviceable CB in the Premiership, is a DP. Demechellis, I think (and I think you would agree), is on a different level than Marquez. My two cents.
Now, would I prefer Xavi or Demechellis? Great question. I don't think this team is ready to win an MLS Cup. Maybe not for 3 years. I'm hopeful, but in my heart of hearts, there's a reason RSL and NER let guys like Grabavoy, Wingert, Mullins and Taylor go. I don't think this team can compete against NER, DCU or even Toronto on a regular basis.
So that being said, I take Xavi. He puts more butts in the seats, it makes a bigger statement today and we build momentum.
But in two years, I would say you sure up the back-line.
Here's how I imagine Kreis would line them up (sans our CB toss-up situation):
Kreis prefers a narrow formation (4-4-2 diamond) with width coming from the full backs in support. We won't have the correct midfield makeup to play the diamond, but we could try a narrow 4-2-3-1 like this:
Xavi acts as a deep lying playmaker, tasked with spraying passes all over the field to advance the ball up the middle. Grabavoy is his partner and is expected to make key tackles as the last line of midfield defense. Poku and Jacobson are the reserves for these two spots, and sometimes Mix.
Lampard doesn't have the pace to play as a winger, but as a RCM he could thrive around the box, working off Xavi behind him, Mix along side him, and Villa in front. Calle on the other side is also a creative player with more pace, perfect for a hybrid LCM/LW role. Mix is in the middle as a box-to-box mid with the workrate to play a role defensively.
This would put some pressure on Wingert and Williams to be able to move forward, particularly on the right side, to provide width in the attack. But that's what Kreis would want in the 4-4-2 diamond anyway.
It could work.

Might as well make them assistant coaches. They're all going to be damn near as old as Jason.

From what I've heard about Kreis it doesn't seem to me like he would want a midfield that consists for Lampard, Xavi, and Mix for balance reasons. If this happens I wonder how much he approves.
