    Default When are we getting new players in?

    Our roster is clearly not complete. There is still some time before the start of the season, but I just hope that we do not , for the fourth season in a row waite for major arrivals untill well into training camp, and certainly well before the start of the season. We need to hit the season ready and with complete roster.

    I'm guessing they'll wait until the CBA is done before filling spots, so they know what they have to work with. I would hope that players are coming in on trial, and being told to sit tight until the CBA is done, but I can understand that not being announced by the club.


    By the way, shouldn't this be a poll question?

    I was giving it some time but we are getting too close to have hardly any news. Having said that I would understand if the contract talks pushed everything back. Still Mo needs to ensure that we are ready by the start of the season, for once.

    But I completely agree, we need a full roster and a stable one, not a revolving door like it has been every other year.

    I believe two key issues were resolved. Today was the extended deadline for the complete agreement.

    Patience is a virtue... Mo is working on it but there are many things that are involved with getting players either from with in the MLS or from abroad

    I am not backing Mo, but people in the know have told me that it is not as easy as we all assume it is

    Trane, look at the trialists superthread. That has all the information you need.

    I'll be closing this thread now.
    MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
