Updated the first post. Thanks to Paul for the screenshot of injuries.

Angelino is out. Listed as ankle sprain. Wonder how long that'll sideline him.

I guess the Summer of 69 will have to be delayed.

Until December probably.

Someone obviously didnt clarify the finer points when relaying the Tonya Harding story.

If Nycfc post on twitter Iraola is out I'm smashing my tv.

So what's going on with Shelton? I could really care less to hear anymore about Brandt, Seba and Calle the rest of the way out.

Shelton picked up a knock we were told. And he's been out a month. Could have really used his pace instead of Pablo Alvarez I thought yesterday.

Calle has really really fallen down, hasn't he. Or is this just loud posters in here?

He's gotten some practice the past week so I imagine he's close to coming back hopefully this weekend.

More than a knock. Pretty sure it was a Mcl sprain.
Can't exactly shake that off. He's been training lightly the last week.

Looks like Tony Taylor is regaining more and more mobility as well.

Any idea on George John's progress? We need him.

Honestly - Facey and Hernandez were above average together. It's just a lack of depth. We need one more CB. Someone who is above average. Maybe Tefu or Mena are better than Hernandez. But we can't see Wingert or Kwame in the line-up ever again as CBs.

And this is why Brovsky is so important. Being able to play LB or RB allows you to discard Wingert.

Oh, crap. I hope Midas doesn't see that.

The advantage of George John though, is that, when fully healthy (big if, though), he's a rock solid centerback who doesn't take up an international spot. If he's fully healthy for next season, it completely changes the conversation about our defense.

Again, that's a *huge* "if". The guy was very good for Dallas before his injuries, but to be totally objective, there's a good chance he's just not the same player after coming back from two years off due to injury.

I'm betting he's improved. Why not?

The C doesn't stand for christopher or clark does it?

Ha no, but you probably shouldn't trust me either.

Any idea if Lampard will be playing this weekend?

 

[BxLio91]

On Turf?

 

[SayWhat44]

So I am guessing Lampard and Pirlo will debut together at home vs Orlando... that game should sell a lot of tickets... We need a win this weekend so hopefully Lampard does play.
