Looks like they are losing Luis Gil to the U23s as well.
Maybe not as bad as I thought. No Altidore really hurts though. I guess Moore will get the start.
Perfect time to call up Hamilton. I really do think they need to give him a good run of games in the first team to see where he is at.
Marco Delgado got the call into the US U20 camp. So three players from the 18 man roster in Columbus will be unavailable.

Warner in for Bradley and Dike in for Altidore. Should still be a decent lineup.
In Cheyrou we trust.
“Years have gone by and I’ve finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.
I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: ‘A pretty move, for the love of God.’
And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”
-Eduardo Galeano
If Giovinco gets called up to Italy during the Gold Cup, we'll be needing Dike.
He has a big upside if he can stay healthy. I don't see him getting many minutes, though. We're not using a target man system. I suppose if someone goes down, he goes to number three behind Altidore and Moore (who is a better player with a better pedigree); but Hamilton's not far off.
I dont have anything against the guy, was making an argument that hes not unwanted by Vanney et al
It's either him, Hamilton or another no name striker. You need the bench depth. If you bring Hamilton up to be that depth, HE sits on the bench. Hamilton is better served actually playing on TFC2. You can bring in someone you don't know and see if that works out, or you sign the guy who you know exactly what you're going to get.
So during preseason Bez mentioned they were saving some $$ for the summer window and the plan was to evaluate their needs based on the the games until then. Safe to say it's going to be spent on defenders? Caldwell is already on the injury table and our right back competition isn't going so well.
We needed two CB's at the start of the previous season. So we still need another one.
Holy downward spiral:

We signed Simonin
This signing brought our roster to 29 players with a roster limit of 28.
I like when the reporters ask the very same question that you are wondering, and based on Vanneys comments there is some rule that allows players to be sent on loan to TFCII full-time....

but he was on a TFC 2 contact? did he get an offer else where and TFC had to do it? or they making room at tfc2 for another addition?
couldnt TFC2 kids be called up to TFC1?
Simonin had to sign a TFC contract to be included in this weekend's bench in Utah. TFCII signed players can't come up for MLS games.
He's our one defensive line sub.
AHH, i thought it was a two way street.
I have no idea where Molinaro got the 28 player roster limit from.
