    Still a far cry from the old days, when additions to the starting eleven were being patched together 2-3 weeks into the season. Our starting lineup is set, we just need to bolster the bench.
  2. All valid points. The main cause for concern is...

    All valid points. The main cause for concern is that although the kids have potential, we are going to be asking a lot of them with all of our international absences coming up. It would have been...
  3. Gomez and Warner were two of our best options off...

    Gomez and Warner were two of our best options off the bench. We just lost some valuable depth.

    I hope the kids are ready to step up.
  4. I agree with waiving Moore. You can't have that...

    I agree with waiving Moore. You can't have that much salary nailed to the bench in this league. We have options on TFC II that can be called up when necessary to fill the void.
  5. Gomez played well in a very limited sample size...

    Gomez played well in a very limited sample size for us last season. I think he can contribute a lot more if he is given the opportunity.
  6. True, but this doesn't strike me as the type of...

    True, but this doesn't strike me as the type of acquisition the current management regime would consider, given his age and reputation off the pitch.

    This off season, the focus has been on...
  7. Warner provides value relative to his salary by...

    Warner provides value relative to his salary by MLS standards. He is a solid backup CM, and can fill in as an occasional starter.
  8. Minus all the pomp and circumstance, this has...

    Minus all the pomp and circumstance, this has been arguably our best off season ever. Bez has addressed several key areas of need within the roster with all star calibre players at this level.
  9. To those saying Irwin is an average MLS keeper,...

    To those saying Irwin is an average MLS keeper, his numbers suggest that he is better than that. He has been stuck on a sub par team with no offensive support.

    He might not be an elite level...
  10. Frei would be nice.

    Frei would be nice.
  11. It's hard to gauge. He had an impressive strike...

    It's hard to gauge. He had an impressive strike rate in Serie A a few years ago, but he is 33 years old now. Then again, look at the impact Di Vaio had at this level in his late thirties.
  12. I'm note sure a goalkeeper is the wisest use of...

    I'm note sure a goalkeeper is the wisest use of the TAM, as previously speculated. There are many teams in the league that have solid goalkeepers signed to reasonable contracts. I would prefer to see...
  13. So what is the approximate amount of cap space we...

    So what is the approximate amount of cap space we have left including the TAM?
  14. Many of us didn't agree with the decision to let...

    Many of us didn't agree with the decision to let Frei go in favor of Bendik, and other than a short spell with Cesar in goal, we have been scrambling to find a legitimate starting goalkeeper ever...
  15. I sincerely hope Rollins is just speculating.

    I sincerely hope Rollins is just speculating.
  16. Guys like Moore are precisely the type of players...

    Guys like Moore are precisely the type of players we should be avoiding. Between him and Gomez, we had what, over half a million dollars in cap space buried on the bench?

    With 3 DPs, there is an...
  17. Yeah, we need to avoid repeating the same old...

    Yeah, we need to avoid repeating the same old mistakes of signing high priced bench warmers. I agree with the sentiment of giving the reserve spots to talented young players that are hungry.
  18. Hagglund looked great in his rookie season. It's...

    Hagglund looked great in his rookie season. It's entirely premature to write him off considering that he didn't get a real chance to contribute under Vanney last season. Zavaleta did surpass him on...
  19. Last year, Warner filled in for Bradley as a DM...

    Last year, Warner filled in for Bradley as a DM for a few games and he played well. If his role is defined, I think he can do the job as well.
  20. Warner might be a decent option at DM. He has the...

    Warner might be a decent option at DM. He has the speed and tenacity to get the job done and he has played a defensive role in central midfield for us in the past. Between him and Cheyrou, we have...
  21. No doubt. I just wonder why we should be the only...

    No doubt. I just wonder why we should be the only team in the league paying several hundred thousand dollars to fill that void when the top keepers in the league earn less than half of that.
  22. I'm very curious as to which keeper the...

    I'm very curious as to which keeper the braintrust has targeted. I'm not sure if I agree with the TAM being used to fill that position, but if it's a legitimate top keeper with international...
  23. Borjan is a much better goalkeeper than Bendik or...

    Borjan is a much better goalkeeper than Bendik or Konopka. It would be far from a terrible move to acquire him, and it would cost less than acquiring a European keeper that isn't currently out of a...
  24. Bendik's value must have plummeted based on his...

    Bendik's value must have plummeted based on his performance last season. I'm not expecting much of a return. The freed up cap space will certainly help though.
  25. Our lack of width and speed will definitely...

    Our lack of width and speed will definitely impact our tactical flexibility. We are pretty much limited to a diamond midfield formation in order to get the most out of our starters.

    However, I...
