    Romero is a 21 year old keeper. He comes from LAFC, so BB likely knows him well.

    If we get Miller as our starter, there is a good chance our starter and backup combined will make less than Alex Bono did last season.

    I thought they might promote Luka Gavran to be a backup. I wonder if they would buy out Ranjitsingh to promote Gavran

    Why they gave Ranjitsingh a two year deal is beyond me. That third keeper spot should belong to Gavran.

    A couple of articles on our new keeper. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s given a chance to start.

    Given he was just cut free, I’m going to temper my expectations. But it’s good to see us doing something in the market, I suppose

    i doubt that, but a backup with MLS and international experience for 95K/ year wages seems a coup.

    also, if they sign a guy like sean johnson to be number 1 for a few years, this guy could be a successor if he keeps developing.

    anyways, this seems to go against the idea that we overpay all the time. excellent signing.

    Romero seems very likely to be the backup. I really hope he turns out to be elite, but going into the season with Romero and Ranjitsingh/Gavran as the goalies seems incredibly risky.

    He played 18 games for LAFC under Bob in 2021 but then was relegated to backup only duty.

    He may have asked for a move or to be released, as he was not pencilled in as a projected starter, they got him from Philly as a project.

    His numbers in 2021 were okay. As the LAFC blogger noted "Was it because none were starter-caliber or because Bradley’s system put an undue burden on the defense and goalkeeper putting out fires?"

    EIther way, he had four shutouts in 18 starts and better numbers than either Bono or Westberg over the last two years. AT 21. For 90K.

    He could be the Marky Delgado type signing. We got him in the expansion draft from Chivas when he was young and became a key figure for us for multiple years

    I did. Haven't heard anything else about it, but he is a perfect fit for this team. Excels in a back 3 or 4 and is in his prime for a CB.

    There are back ups who are nailed to the bench and back ups who start some matches, even quite a few. This one could be the later. No matter, it’s good to have an experienced but very young keeper that can develop here.

    yeah just by not spending 900k on the league's worst GKs we should be able to improve the spine of the defense with that.

    obscene we were spending around 2 M on mavinga + 2 gks to get genuinely bottom end of MLS production out of them.

    Romero played today for El Salvador in a 1-0 loss. The lone goal he conceded was a penalty.

    We could definitely replace Criscitio, Mavinga, Bono, and Westberg who were about 3.4 Million with

    Johnson at around 800 +
    Callens at 1.6 (If he comes it won't be for less than Max TAM). Some teams may be willing to give him more.
    Matarrita 500 or so.

    This Romero fellow might also be cap exempt. I think he’s on a homegrown deal after LAFC got his homegrown rights from Philly.

    Moutinho seemingly wants to go to Europe, but is already a decent MLS player with some room to grow.

    You can only offer 15% raises to free agents I think

    This is the rule. Callens max is $820K.

    Johnson was 600 something.

    Only way to do more is a DP deal. Nobody should be that crazy.

    Question?
    So, theoretically, for the salary parameter on a Stage 2 Re-Entry negotiation.
    For... let me suggest a 'Tello'.
    Would it then be from one dollar to 15% more of his current/previous salary?
    Even though, the very fact the player is in Stage 2 Re-Entry essentially means- the expectation is- his salary is being reduced.

    These dudes aren't free agents, they're contracted players who have been waived. The fifteen percent max hike refers to free agents only, I believe.

    Wow, MLSPU is really gilt edge. The league is more awash with more cash than ever before and they negotiate so players who are nearly mid career can get a max 15% increase in free agency. How liberal.

    What are they going to ask for next? Free peanuts on the charter flights?
